detect (or ray cast to) only horizontal planes

[GreeneMachine]

Hey
Yeah, there are many threads here that are talking about similar issues… that I also feel are related. I am having issues when going back and forth to an AR scene also… ie. NonARMenu > AR Scene > NonARMenu > ARScene… etc… It doesnt crash, but my frame rate starts to drop… If I stay in the ARScene it doesnt drop. Only on reload. If I build my game with out AR and mimic the placeonplane, I dont have these issues… so its not a memory leak on my part.

Re: ARPlaneManager… if you find the Unity responses to disabling/removing planes once your object is placed in this forum, and on github… you will find they all say you turn off plane detection by disabling the ARPlaneManager component on the ARSessionOrigin… I’m not saying that is not causing issues… but its supposed to be the approach as far as I can tell. But currently, there is a lack of response from anyone in Unity here… I actually asked that very question in my initial thread and got no response

Managing Trackables

Hey Using the ARFoundation Samples project as an example, what is the best/correct approach to hide planes and point clouds in the scene once you have placed the object? I understand you can disable the managers to stop the session detecting and adding more, but to clean out what has already been detected what is required. For example: I can get access to the list of current of ARPlanes detected via the ARPlaneManager.GetAllPlanes(), and can either disable the MeshRenderer or disable the enti…

So hunted down the answer in several other threads… eg:

ARFoundation remove mesh visualizer and cancel touch tracking

Hi! How can I remove the viewer once I have placed the content on the surface? and cancel the touches to be able to use your own canvas with buttons in the GUI. Regards!
