# ARRaycastQuery.Target.estimatedPlane

A raycast target that specifies nonplanar surfaces, or planes about which ARKit can only estimate.

## Declaration

```swift
case estimatedPlane
```

## Discussion

Discussion A raycast with this target intersects feature points around the ray that ARKit estimates may be a real-world surface. When combined with ARRaycastQuery.TargetAlignment.any, ARKit bases estimated plane alignment on the normal of the surface. When you set your world-tracking configuration’s sceneReconstruction to one of the mesh options, ARKit allows a raycast with this target (and target-alignment ARRaycastQuery.TargetAlignment.any) to intersect the scene mesh. Then the raycast result can include points even on nonplanar surfaces or surfaces that have few or no features, such as a white wall. If you set sceneReconstruction to ARSceneReconstructionNone, raycasts ignore the scene mesh.
