Declaration
var center: simdDiscussion
When ARKit first detects a plane, the resulting ARPlane object has a center value of (0,0,0), indicating that the translation portion of the anchor's transform value locates the plane's center point.
As scene analysis and plane detection continues, ARKit may determine that a previously detected plane anchor is part of a larger real-world surface, increasing the extent width and length values. The plane's new boundaries may not be symmetric around its initial position, so the center point changes relative to the anchor's (unchanged) transform matrix.
Although the type of this property is vector, a plane anchor is always two-dimensional, and is always positioned in only the x and z directions relative to its transform position. (That is, the y-component of this vector is always zero.)
