I have 3 objects in Open Inventor: a lamp, a desk, and a painting. I need to

-be able to place them on each other, such as a lamp on a desk, and a painting on a wall, -the objects can't penetrate the walls and floors (which I have a collision-detection method for).

Might you have an idea how to be able to place objects on top of each other? I think that I get the general gist: -Disable the collision-detection engine when moving an object to its accepted placement,

but I'm not sure where to go from there. Any thoughts? Thanks so much for your help!

Can you place them just before an actual collision could happen? Since they are static object there should be no problem with worrying about them moving

Oh, I guess that was rather obvious. So I don't need to identify what they're colliding with? Like how could I make sure that a desk could be placed with a lamp but it can't go through the wall?
