A method for controlling a robotic system to facilitate a joint arthroplasty procedure includes generating a graphical user interface comprising a visualization of an implant plan and an indication of a user-defined value for an implant planning parameter, and comparing the user-defined value for the implant planning parameter to the range. The method includes providing a marking at the indication of the user-defined value on the graphical user interface and receiving an update to the implant plan, wherein the update to the implant plan causes a change in the user-defined value. The method further includes determining that the change in the user-defined value moved the user-defined value to within the selected preferred range.
