    Hello!

    Please forgive me if this is obvious or covered elsewhere.
    I just want to place my game world (anchor, not attached to plane) and from there everything happens within the UI.

    Can i remove/disable safely:
    AR Plane Manager
    AR Anchor Manager
    AR Raycast Manager
    etc. except for AR Session Origin

    or are they needed for the tracking to function properly?
    Also, do i need to add AR Point Cloud Manager for PC tracking?

    Thanks!

    Whenever you ask a question like 'does this work', it's usually quickest and most accurate to just try it. Place the object and then disable the managers to see what happens.
    I am guessing that it still works without them after the initial placement, but I can be wrong.
    And what do you mean with pc tracking?,

    PC - Point Cloud. Thing is that tracking has become that stable, that i cant tell a difference with Point Cloud Manager on or off. I remember a few years back, pc had had to be enabled explicitly and you new it was enabled just because your phone was melting.

    So for now I'm assuming that these managers are just there to expose features that are always active anyway, but it would be nice to know for sure.
