Repositionable objects tutorial?
Just wondering if there was a tutorial project that just did repositionable objects. I got through 211 and the rotation is great but I would like to be able to move and place objects.

Check out 101. Also take a look at the TapToPlace test scene from HoloTookit. Docs

@BlinkPop as @AlexD mentioned, you can either use the TapToPlace concept or Manipulation to move your hologram as well. Typically TapToPlace is simpler.
@BlinkPop,
There is also a slightly more complicated object placement system in the Holograms 230 course (placeable.cs). It raycasts from the center and corners of the bounding box to determine of the hologram will completely sit on a surface and if that surface is approximately level.
Unless you need to be very specific about where your hologram sits with respect to a surface, I would recommend TapToPlace.cs, as @neerajwadhwa suggests.
Thanks!

Does Microsoft plan to make the automatic placement of windows / holograms using this strategy or is this something we are going to have to add to each app? Trying to see if there is perhaps the opportunity to create some hologram manager plugin or if one is coming part of holotoolkit
