Proper way to handle this raycast?

Hey guys, I am creating a object holder and I am a little stuck. I am looking to cast a raycast from the users position onto any surface and be offset by itself to stop objects from going into walls. This is what I have so far.

   Vector3 fwd2 = transform.TransformDirection(Vector3.forward);
         if (Physics.Raycast(transform.position, fwd2 + new Vector3(0, -(gameObject.transform.localScale.y * 0.1f), 0), out hit, 6f, LayerToIgnore))
         {
              //GameObject position logic
         }

This works perfect for the floor but as you can see the raycast is always being offset by -y How could I go about multiplying this by the characters camera angle to allow the raycast to work on walls, roofs, other objects?

Thanks!
