How can I move each object independently? with Tap to place
I want to use the "Tap to place parent" script to place objects A and B in different locations. We applied the "Patch to Parent" script to each object. However, if you move the A object, the B object also moves. How can I move each object independently?

As the name implies "Tap to place parent" is intended for placing the parent of the gameObject in question, and if both gameObjects have the same parent then when the parent moves, both children move with it.
Check the HoloToolkit for TapToPlace.cs and attach that to the individual gameObjects. This should work for you if you locate both gameObjects at the root of the scene hierarchy instead of parented on a common game object like the Stage as done in the Origami project.

Hi @HoloSheep,
I'm trying to use the TapToPlace.cs script but I can't make it work.
I have a cube at the root of the scene hierarchy with the script attached, and an empty gameObject with the scripts GazeGestureManagaer, WorldAnchorManager and SpatialMappingManager.
I don't know if I'm missing anything but when I tal the cube on the emulator nothing happens. Would you have any ideas about what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Teresa.
@Teresa You should add the Input Manager prefab and a Cursor prefab to your scene if they are not already there. They are under HoloToollkit -> Input -> Prefabs
