    Hello.
    Simple question here :
    If I want to do a simple app "point the floor, tap it, instantiate a cube there".

    1. Do I need a Plane Manager ?
    2. Do I need the Point Cloud Manager ?
    3. Do I need to place an anchor on the cube ?
    4. Does the tracking is better if I add all 3 ?
    Thank you.

    I rewrite my question correctly :

    Does adding a Point Cloud Manager help the tracking on other managers .

    Exemple : I place a virtual cube on the real floor then I do a 360°; when looking at the cube it has drifted.
    If I add a point cloud manager or a plane manager, or an anchor does it help ?

    Adding managers do not apply. Adding anchors specific to your area of interest will help.

    @todds_unity Thank you for your anwser.
    I tried this :
    1) Using Image Tracker to detect a real image
    2) Instantiate a cube at the image position
    3) adding an Anchor to this cube as a component

    What I expected :
    The cube position stick to the image position

    What I got :
    At the very moment I put the anchor, the cube offset itself by 5-10cm, then stick to this new place.

    I think it is because it take the "nearest feature point" when I add the anchor instead of putting the anchor right where it is. Am I correct ?
