Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
displaying a virtual object in a virtual environment, wherein the virtual object is virtually contacting a first virtual plane of the virtual environment;
displaying:
a first visual indication indicating a first area along the first plane that the virtual object is allowed to be moved to in accordance with both a first parameter of the virtual object that includes one or more size dimensions of the virtual object and a second parameter of the virtual object that includes one or more constraints for placing the virtual object onto one or more planes of the virtual environment; and
a second visual indication indicating a second area along the first plane that the virtual object is prohibited to be moved to in accordance with both the first parameter and the second parameter, wherein the second area is at least partially bounded by the first area;

in response to receiving a first user input to move the virtual object along a first path from a first location in the first area to a second location in the first area without the first path traversing into the second area, displaying the virtual object at the second location in the first area; and
in response to receiving a second user input to move the virtual object along a second path from the first location in the first area to a third location in the second area, halting the movement of the virtual object at the intersection of the first area and the second area along the second path.
