Question

unreal 5.3 can't turn off spatial anchor visualisations

We are updating an AR project, built in Unreal 5.3.2. The original project integrated the MR utility Kit without the blue boxes appearing, however in our current version we cannot make the blue boxes disappear.

    Hello there!

    Which blue boxes are you referring to? Any screenshots or additional context you can provide would help me in assisting you greatly. 

    Looking forward to your response!

    Hi,  thanks for the reply.  When we launch the app there are blue boxes where things like sofa's / paintings etc are placed in the real life room.  I believe these are scene anchors?

    When the project was packaged from unreal last year these didn't appear.  We are packaging the project again now, completely unmodified from that point.  For some reason we now just cannot get these boxes to hide. 

    The project is built in 5.3.2.  We are using meta xr (and xr utility kit) plugin version 65.0.  I have also tried rolling these back to v64 and v63.

    Any ideas would be hugely appreciated!  Many Thanks
