identify from the image of the physical measuring tape a particular measurement; and

constrain the scope of the command by changing a dimension of the virtual architectural element to conform with the particular measurement.

8. The computer system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the executable instructions include instructions that are executable to configure the computer system to:

9. A method for creating architectural schematics within a mixed-reality environment, comprising:

generating, within an architectural design application, mixed-reality rendering data that visually describes one or more virtual architectural elements in relation to a real-world environment;

transmitting, to a mixed-reality device, the mixed-reality rendering data, wherein the mixed-reality device renders the mixed-reality rendering data within the real-world environment;

receiving a command from a user to create a particular virtual architectural element, wherein the particular virtual architectural element comprises an electrical outlet on a virtual wall;

identifying an environment-defined attribute of the particular virtual architectural element, wherein identifying the environment-defined attribute of the particular virtual architectural element comprises identifying wiring requirements associated with the electrical outlet;

retrieving a physical environment attribute that corresponds with the environment-defined attribute of the particular virtual architectural element; and

constraining a scope of the command based upon the physical environment attribute.

10. The method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the physical environment attribute comprises a location of electrical wiring within the real-world environment that is configurable for connecting to the electrical outlet.

11. The method as recited in claim 10 , wherein the physical environment attribute further comprises an indication that the electrical wiring is moveable.

12. The method as recited in claim 11 , further comprising:

generating a rendering of the electrical wiring that depicts a pathway of at least a portion of the electrical wiring as extending towards a location of the electrical outlet, wherein the rendering of the electrical wiring does not correspond with a location of physical electrical wiring; and

constraining the scope of the command based upon the physical environment attribute, by placing the electrical outlet in a location that intersects with the rendering of the electrical wiring.

13. The method as recited in claim 9 , wherein the command comprises instructions to create a virtual wall.

14. The method as recited in claim 13 , wherein the environment-defined attribute of the particular virtual architectural element comprises a color of the virtual wall.
