      I tried everything, but I could not move it the right way.

        For your problem i suppose you must "trim" the object (who must be moved by another thing) in simple boxes ! (so here 3 vertical 3D boxes)
        Then grouped

        (i have not open your file)

        Better now is now use MS Physics ( i believe Sketchy Physics is no more developped)

        Here a complete tutorial (26 steps)

          Pilou thank you in advance.

          As you said , I made three separate blocks ( each one is a single group ), than what ?

          Next step is to group them again ?

          I do not understand what next .
