Objects appearing in front of the camera when I drop them in

Hello, pardon the title if it's not descriptive enough!

I'm following the Creation Kit Tutorial Series, I'm to episode 3 https://www.youtube.com/v/p1Twdld0tLc&feature and am following along, but every time I drop a new object in to my copy of Lokir's Tomb, it appears directly in front of the camera instead of down with the other stuff. This means I have to move my camera all the way back down to the rest of the scene, drag the new object way down the Z axis, then zoom all the way back up before I can position the item.

I was wondering how to get it to where new objects are automatically snapped to the Z plane relative to the camera's X and Y coordinates but ignoring the camera's Z position.

Thanks!

Solved my own problem. When dragging objects on to the scene, drag them on top of already extant objects.

I think there's an option in the Preferences dialog to enable the behaviour you seek.
