Summary:Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for placing an object, such as a user interface element within an interface, such as a graphical user interface (e.g., an application, a website, etc.). When placing the object, a visual state of an object may be transformed based upon initial drag movement of the object. Responsive to the initial drag movement exceeding a transformation threshold, the object is transformed into a precision placement object representing the object. The user may freely move the precision placement object within the interface. A precision point of the precision placement object may not correspond to a touch region of the precision placement object such that the user's finger, for example, may not obscure the object within the interface. Responsive to a placement input, the precision placement object may be transformed to the object, and the object may be placed within the interface.
