Description of the issue:
As can be seen in the video, my Mock-Meshes always spawn upside down. I did not change anything from the standard settings. Right now I’m using a custom script to turn the mesh after creation, however that is only a work around.
What am I doing wrong?

Is the mock mesh imported from an FBX file? If so, one thing you can try is to enable `Bake Axis Conversion` on the import settings:

Hi Tobias,
This could be an issue relating to how the model is being imported into Unity. Unity uses a left-handed, Y-up coordinate system which might differ from 3D modeling software using a right-handed or Z-up coordinate system. The mesh data could be misinterpreted by Unity if the data was created by software using a different coordinate system. Other than that, I would try unchecking the ‘Optimize Game Object’ checkbox under the Rig tab of the import settings pane.
I hope that helps!
Kind Regards,
Maverick L.

@Brent_Austin , @Maverick_Niantic , thanks a bunch for your answers. For me the solution was just create a new scene with the ARDK templates. All meshes I used were ARDK provided ones so I don’t really know the issue. But using the Stock templates worked for me.

A bit late but I found the error why it was upside down. The AR Mesh should be -1 on the Y Scale. That was my mistake, as mine is set to simply 1.
