Every time I find something that drives me mad with Blender, I’m going to make a quick post about it. This is more a reference for me than anything else, but perhaps someone will find it useful.
I had a frustrating 30 mins where moving one object through another one was seemingly glitching it’s position. In fact, it was repositioning the object (i was moving) to align to the edge of the other object (that it was moving through). This wasn’t a glitch, it was because the magnet or ‘Snap’ was turned on.

Turn off ‘Snap’ or the little magnet icon at the top of the screen to stop this happening.
## You might be interested in Speaking of object manipulation in Blender, you might be interested in Blender’s Wikipedia article which provides a comprehensive overview of this powerful open-source 3D creation suite. If you’re looking to understand more about how 3D modelling software handles object snapping and positioning, the 3D modelling article offers helpful context. Additionally, for those keen to explore the technical aspects of how objects interact in 3D space, the 3D computer graphics page explains many of the underlying principles that power software like Blender.
