When you drag-n-drop a a .vrscene or a .vrmesh file in Chaos Vantage you a presented with a pop-up menu with the following options:

Merge/Place filtering – Filter setting for the drag-n-dropped .vrscene or .vrmesh.

Cameras – When enabled, imports the cameras from the drag-n-dropped .vrscene.
Geometry – When enabled, imports the geometry from the drag-n-dropped .vrscene or .vrmesh file.
Lights – When enabled, imports the lights from the drag-n-dropped .vrscene.

Do not ask again – When enabled, will store the currently enabled options and the type of action (Open/Place/Merge) and will execute it the next time a .vrscene or .vrmesh file is drag-n-dropped. You can enable this pop-up again by going into the Preferences menu.

Open – Opens the drag-n-dropped .vrscene or .vrmesh. This will entirely override the currently opened scene. For more details check Open a .vrscene.

Place – Merges the drag-n-dropped .vrscene or .vrmesh at the drop position and align it to the surface normals. For more details check below.

Merge – Merges drag-n-dropped .vrscene or .vrmesh at the scene origin. For more details check below.

Cancel - Cancels the merging process.

To place a .vrscene/vrmesh drag-n-drop it into the viewport. While still holding the left mouse button a red arrow appears that indicates the position and surface normal at which it will be placed and aligned to.

Once you release the left button, a pop-up window appears with the Place option.
