## Topics

### Creating a Result Type

[`init(rawValue:)`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/init(rawValue:))

Creates a result type.

### Result Types

[`featurePoint`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/featurePoint)

A point on a surface detected by ARKit, but not part of any detected planes.

[`estimatedHorizontalPlane`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/estimatedHorizontalPlane)

A point on a real-world planar surface detected during the search, whose orientation is perpendicular to gravity.

[`estimatedVerticalPlane`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/estimatedVerticalPlane)

A point on a real-world planar surface detected during the search, whose orientation is parallel to gravity.

[`existingPlane`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/existingPlane)

A point on a real-world plane (already detected with the [`planeDetection`](/documentation/ARKit/ARWorldTrackingConfiguration/planeDetection-swift.property) option), without considering the plane’s size.

[`existingPlaneUsingExtent`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/existingPlaneUsingExtent)

A point on a real-world plane (already detected with the [`planeDetection`](/documentation/ARKit/ARWorldTrackingConfiguration/planeDetection-swift.property) option), respecting the plane’s estimated size.

[`existingPlaneUsingGeometry`](/documentation/ARKit/ARHitTestResult/ResultType/existingPlaneUsingGeometry)

A point on a real-world plane (already detected with the [`planeDetection`](/documentation/ARKit/ARWorldTrackingConfiguration/planeDetection-swift.property) option), respecting the plane’s estimated size and shape.
