Abstract
An extended reality (XR) system includes an extended reality application executing on a processor within the XR system. The XR system receives, via a client device, a selection of an extended reality (XR) object located within an XR environment. The XR system receives, via the client device, a request to move the selected XR object within the XR environment. The XR system calculates a first distance between a first feature of the XR object and a first plane associated with a first physical object within the XR environment. The XR system determines that the first distance is within a particular distance. In response to determining that the first distance is within the particular distance, the XR system positions the first feature within the XR environment such that the first feature is coplanar with the first plane.
