This is what i got so far for ARKit.
@objc func tap(_ sender: UITapGestureRecognizer){
let touchLocation = sender.location(in: sceneView)
let hitTestResult = sceneView.hitTest(touchLocation, types: .featurePoint)
if let hitResult = hitTestResult.first{
if first == nil{
first = SCNVector3Make(hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.x, hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.y, hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.z)
}else if second == nil{
second = SCNVector3Make(hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.x, hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.y, hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.z)
}else{
third = SCNVector3Make(hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.x, hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.y, hitResult.worldTransform.columns.3.z)
let x2 = first!.x
let z2 = -first!.z
let x1 = second!.x
let z1 = -second!.z
let z3 = -third!.z
let m = (z1-z2)/(x1-x2)
var a = atan(m)
if (x1 < 0 && z1 < 0){
a = a + (Float.pi*2)
}else if(x1 > 0 && z1 < 0){
a = a - (Float.pi*2)
}
sceneView.scene.rootNode.addChildNode(yourNode)
let rotate = SCNAction.rotateBy(x: 0, y: CGFloat(a), z: 0, duration: 0.1)
yourNode.runAction(rotate)
yourNode.position = first!
if z3 - z1 < 0{
let rotate = SCNAction.rotateBy(x: 0, y: CGFloat.pi, z: 0, duration: 0.1)
yourNode.runAction(rotate)
}
}
}
}
Theory is:
Make three dots A,B,C such that AB is perpendicular to AC. Tap dots in order A-B-C.
Find angle of AB in x=0 of ARSceneView which gives required rotation for node.
Any one of the point can be refrenced to calculate position to place node.
From C find if node needs to be flipped.
I am still working on some exceptions that needs to be satisfied.
