What exactly are you trying to stack? Only certain objects can stack.
Desks stack, but have this problem where once placed, if anything is on top of the desk, it will refuse to be moved further. You can trick the base editor into letting you move a desk from under another object by dragging it to another room, but that can get to be a pain if you have to do it over and over.
Floor Safes from the Room Details tab can be stacked on, and don't care if they have anything stack atop them, so are easier to use sometimes.
The Floor Tile can also be stacked on, and also can be moved if something is on top of it, but is zero steps high so you have to use a floor safe or something to elevate it. It's useful for putting a bunch of objects at a particular elevation.
Some of the lights can be stacked, notably the Accent Lamps.
Most everything else cannot be stacked on, at least as far as floor-based objects. You have to use one of the objects listed above to elevate an object, then put the non-stacking item under it so it LOOKS like it's stacked (but really the top item is floating in air).

I'm trying to stack Large Cracked Blocks.
Okay, I think you need to re-think "stacking".
Some items have innate "stacking" ability built into them; desks, cabinets & flooring are such. You can actually stack things on top of them without any trickery.
Other items have had stacking ability magically/accidentally assigned to them when raid pathing was tossed out the window. The safe, accent lamps and even some wall items (you can stack out from a wall) fall under this category.
The large cracked blocks do not fall under either category. Neither do bookshelves, file cabinets or any of a gazillion other items that you've seen "stacked"
What we've done with these items is actually floated one item under (or on top) of another by using the various methods described in the stacking thread.
What you really want to do is float one block over/under another.

YUMMY Low-Hanging Fruit for BASE LUV
Best way to do this is to use a floor title and safes to stack them. It will take some patience and for me lots of view changing, but it can be done.
Can't figure out how to stack items in my base and I need some help. Anyone willing?
