Hello, Unfortunately we can’t clear wayspot data. The best recommendation we can provide is adding more scans following the scan guidelines presented here: [https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/how-to/vps/tooling/lightship\_scaniverse/#scanning-technique](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/how-to/vps/tooling/lightship_scaniverse/#scanning-technique) If you’ve already contributed several scans following the scanning techniques outlined in the documentation I linked please provide the link to the Wayspot so that we can have a look. Is there a specific landmark that’s scanned here? Looking at the image, there doesn’t seem to be some sort of focal point like some sort of landmark so that could also be why the scan quality isn’t hitting production ---

It’s a rest area on a walking trail. I can submit more data and pick one object in that rest area as an “anchor point”. Thank you for the input. ---

the scanner has difficulty processing objects on the ground or if the ground itself is the object ---

Thank you for the feedback. I’ll choose an anchor point that’s elevated off of the ground. ---

I have similar problem with many wayspots; someone have scanned earlier only the sidewalk or the ground, and even if I have provided many (50+) scans, VPS is unrecognized and mesh does not update even if the waypoint VPS is active. It feels like once something has already been badly scanned, the waypoint is ruined VPS sense, and the only way to create good active VPS wayspots is to find unscanned wayspots and start from beginníng by yourself ---

Thanks for the feedback, @Kimmo_Siponen. You may be right. There are now over 100 scans on the Wayspot indicated in this post. ---
