Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When placing objects in a scene (dragging an asset into the scene view), it is natural that one would like to place an object, for example, on top of a table that has a collider. Currently, the Y position of the placed object seems to default to zero regardless.

Describe the solution you'd like
Object placement in the editor scene view should react to colliders. This means that when I place a model (drag into the scene view) on top of another model in the scene view that has a collider, it should land on top of that collider and not default to Y position zero.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the editor scene-view object-placement entry point and any collider-related tests; done means dragging an object onto a collider places it on top of that collider instead of defaulting its Y position to zero.
