How to place and item as if it were a block?

There are technically two things but... 

1. I have an item model of a cabinet. 
How could I place this as if it were a block. So right click, place in cardinal direction. 
I have tried [when right click > if/do > has event target in inventory >place (X) at x,y+1,z > remove 1 (x) from event/target main inventory. I cannot get my custom item to show up in the "place (X) at..." module.

2. Or, how can I make the initial block itself, be larger than the constraints of the block properties and textures. 
I have sen it done in various mods with workbenches and such, but I am unsure how to achieve this with the given options. 

Looking for anything that could steer me in the right direction, please & thank you.
