XR Tools Utilities for AR placement

Unity Engine

Hey there,
I’m not sure if this is the correct forum for this, correct me please if not.
I’m currently working on AR placement methods for university and therefore I need to use a convex hull and a rotating calipers algorithm in order to create a minimum oriented bounding box. I found the Unity Documentation for the “XR Tools Utilities” with the algorithms I’d like to use, but I haven’t found a way to use the package.

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.xrtools.utils@1.3/manual/index.html

The documentation mentions the installation from the package manager, but I tried Unity 2020 and the 2021 preview but I can’t seem find the package to install it.
Does anybody know if I can use the package at all and if yes how? It’d really simplify my development.

thanks in advance

You can add this package manually by modifying the Packages/manifest.json file and adding this line:
"com.unity.xrtools.utils": "1.0.1",

Thanks a lot, never had to add a package manually yet, wasn’t aware it’s that easy.
