Snapping objects to to other objects

I haven't found any info about that and snapping objects (which is the most basic thing in regular 3d apps like max or maya) appears to be ridiculously bad and/or missing completely as a feature. Please see the attached recording - why I can't snap objects to other objects? also it can't snap to grid that I've set to be fixed for some reason.

I'm trying to switch to software like Fusion from Max for some modelling and considering also Moi3D. As of now Fusions appears to be highly overrated on account of the issue I'm describing here, haven't got to Moi yet.

You appear to be using "Free Move

The Move Tool, is not recommended, but if you have to...

use Point to Point option, the corner point of one body, will snap to the corner point of the second body.

 

Might help.....

@davebYYPCU @g-andresen @TheCADWhisperer wow, that is weird to me but does the trick! thanks - I'm doing some external tutorial and guy described every tool that will be used but hasn't touched on those other move modes which I saw before but have missed now for some reason... 🙄

Hearing first time about joints though so will definitely check those out as well.
