FlexiPlace - Object Placement System & Overlap Validation

Add Professional Object Placement to Your Game in Minutes - Not Days.

Stop wasting time building object pickup and placement systems from scratch.

If your game needs players to pick up, move, rotate, place, or reposition objects, FlexiPlace gives you everything you need in one complete, production-ready solution.

From grid-free placement, real-time validation, and 360° rotation, to persistent save/load, position offsets, and highly accurate Physics.OverlapBox validation—everything is already built, optimized, and ready to use.

• No complicated setup
• No grid system
• No third-party dependencies
• Just import, assign a few references, and start placing objects

What is FlexiPlace?

FlexiPlace is a modular object pickup and placement system for Unity that uses raycast-based detection instead of traditional grid placement.

Players can freely place objects exactly where they want, just like in popular supermarket, cafe, warehouse, shop, and simulator games.

When an object is picked up, a real-time ghost preview follows the cursor. The preview automatically switches between green (valid) and red (invalid) using Physics.Overlap validation providing instant visual feedback before placement.

Unlike many placement systems, FlexiPlace no longer requires disabling colliders while placing objects, making integration much easier and more reliable.

The system is designed around small, focused scripts with clear responsibilities, making it easy to customize, extend, and integrate into existing projects.

Setup takes less than 5 minutes using the included step-by-step PDF documentation.

A ready-to-use first-person demo scene is included so you can start testing immediately after import.
