    Hello,
    I'd like to know what it is need to to to stop the AR app from moving the placed object when touching anywhere else on the screen (e.g. an UI button)?. Very time I click anywhere, the AR object gets relocated.
    I'd like to be able to stop the tracking (not to stop ARsession completely) once an AR object has been placed. Thank you.

    ARFoundation doesn't do this directly. It sounds like you are describing behavior from one of the samples -- this is simply a guide to show you how to place an object from a raycast. If you'd like to stop this behavior after the object has been placed, remove the code from the else statement.

    That did it!.
    Also, this works best for prefabs I guess, but now I am seeing that I am benefiting more from the Place Content on transform than place on plane. But this one does not have an else statement, I guess I'll have to add one myself? Or just limit the hits to just one instead of using an array of hits?
    Thanks!

    Sorry, what is "Place Content on transform"? Could you provide a link to the code on GitHub?

    My apologies, please disregard the "Place content on transform", I meant "Make Appear on Plane".
