_Include the following details while filing a bug report (edit as applicable):_

- **Issue category** : Real-time Mapping-Depth
- **Device type & OS version** : Android 9
- **Host machine & OS version** : Windows 10
- **Issue Environment** : On Device
- **ARDK version** : 1.3.0
- **Unity version** : 2020.3 LTS

Bug reproduction steps:

- Set ARSessionManager.runOptions to “None”.
- Enable the ARMeshManager and create a simple mesh.
- Disable the ARMeshManager.
- Enable the ARMeshManager again - the previous mesh is removed and the entire meshing process is restarted. I expected this to only happen if “Remove Existing Mesh” is set in the ARSessionManager. Also, the MeshBlocksCleared event is not raised.

Hi Kareem, use the Mesh Saver [documentation](https://lightship.dev/docs/class_niantic_1_1_a_r_d_k_1_1_extensions_1_1_meshing_1_1_mesh_saver.html) to solve your problem. There is more information on saving files in this [documentation](https://lightship.dev/docs/meshing_tutorial_unityeditor.html#autotoc_md61) as well. Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks.
