Model is floating above the ground — what is the correct SceneView way to place it on a plane?

[Uzairhajjar-maker]

Hi,

I’m using SceneView with ARCore and I’m facing a very common issue:
my 3D model appears floating above the detected ground plane.

The flow I currently have:

• hitTest on a detected plane
• create an Anchor from the Pose
• attach a ModelNode to that anchor

Even though the hit pose is clearly on the plane, the model is still floating in the air.

My question is very direct:

What is the correct and recommended way in SceneView to place a model so it sits exactly on the ground?

Specifically:

• Does SceneView expect the model pivot/origin to be at the bottom of the mesh?
• If the model pivot is centered (which is common in GLB files), what is the correct way to fix this?
• Is applying a local Y offset to the ModelNode the intended approach?
• Can you please provide a small SceneView code example showing the correct placement on a plane?

I want to follow the proper SceneView approach, not a random workaround.

Thanks.
