Adding a second component to another component

I've been trying different ways to add one component to an existing one. I've found a technique that works well and it's easier than other things I've tried. The wedding rings component is the first item. I created the text component off of the rings and dragged them onto the rings. The rings are from Vectorart3D.

I'm curious if anyone found this tip useful. I've had problems in some instances combining components. The image attached is a good example of the type of model I've found difficult. I've played with settings such as the base height, limit to height, scale to height, add, subtract, merge. I'm sure it's because I don't understand how to use these settings properly. Anyhow, the method I posted works well every time I've used it.

Phil, I've done that as well. After placing one on top of the other, I've copyied both the components into a working model. Once both are into 1 working model, I'll turn them into a component again.
