Hello Kyle,

I was able to reproduce the shader issue found in the PlaneAnchors scene.  
To resolve the issue can you try the below options,

Try to create a new Shader, with these settings.

![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/dMRdoCenapec_M8LaQngs6nRNWfiysJ_eba_9kvmYzFHaKNJna8N2Cmm5h7khIaiM_0geqN_iGi2lVL7UUNjS9MwVs0KQMzW_lefVLHz_S4FeR6rJck4Pmfj6-TtqzPGDYbResGDqPN_3SApYg)

OR try to exclude the shader from DX11 by commenting out line: 25 of the PlanefindingGrid.Shader. The shader can be found in **Assets \> ARDK \> Extensions \> Planefinding \> PlanefindingGrid.shader.**  
//#pragma exclude\_renderers d3d11.

Hope this helps.

Hello Kyle,

Could you please try to create a new Shader as I mentioned earlier? Meanwhile please provide some more details,

1. What hardware/software versions you are using.
2. Screenshot of your inspector windows.
3. Screenshot of your Console window in Unity to show the errors you’re seeing
4. Repro steps to recreate the issue.  
It would greatly help us to troubleshoot the issue.
