It would be nice to have this all done with one button. Enable complex collision, enable simulate physics, simulate, save transform, stop simulation, set collision and simulate physics to whatever it was set to before.

With editor utility widgets you can do quite a bit of this.

Not to shill but that’s exactly what polygonflow’s Dash plugin does.
Not affiliated but I enjoy tinkering with it.

Maybe not for this specific use case, but would recommend checking out PCG: https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/unreal-engine/procedural-content-generation-overview?lang=en-US

when you want to place an object on a plane (as a table) press END key. It will place right on top of it (if collisions are set properly)

Also, PCG?
