    Hello,

    Please if anyone has any help in what components to add to convert Mars Plane Visualizer data into collider planes so I can bounce objects off of the scanned ground/tables/chairs etc.

    Thank you in advance for any help!

    You should be able to add a MeshCollider to your plane prefab, and the Plane Visualizer will pick that up and ensure it is updated.

    Thank you for your help! Yes that seems to work (but using a box collider with a prefab Horizontal plane) one plane at a time, I was wondering if there is a way to make every small surface the Plane Visualizer detects immediately a collision surface? Thank you again!

    If you want to make a collider for every detected plane, you can use a Proxy Replicator and on the child Proxy Object add the plane condition, the Build Surface action (you need to remove Set Pose first) and add a Mesh Collider. This will instantiate a proxy with a collider for each detected surface.

    It's super fun to be able to do physics on real world surfaces ;)

    Also please use the MeshCollider not BoxCollider (very different, as the AR planes are meshes not boxes).
