How to set maximum distance between Camera and Hologram
Hi in my hololens app I have a hologram (spatial mapping on). When I run the app and apply drag and drop functionality , it simply place the hologram at next available place (3D wired mesh). Is there any way to limit the maximum distance between camera and holograms. I dont like my hologram to place too far from the camera after dragging. Thanks

If you are using the HoloToolkit scripts for this, you'll want to hack them a bit. If you look at the code you are using, you'll notice that your hologram is getting placed at the intersection of your raycast and the mesh. You can change this to set a max distance when the mesh is further than floatMaxDist meters away. If you are literally using the TapToPlace script, then you can replace:
gameObject.transform.position = hitinfo.point;
with
gameObject.transform.position = headPosition + gazeDirection * floatMaxDist;
