In the scanning example, where is the mesh saved, and in what format? (Is there further documentation on the specifics here?)

Hi,

Here’s the detailed documentation: [Getting Started with the Scanning Framework — Niantic Lightship Augmented Reality Developer Kit release-2.5.1 documentation](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/scanning/getting_started.html)

Specifically, step 4 has the information to handle processed scan mesh results. Please let me know if you have further questions.

im stuck at step 4 at the start method where \_scanManager.OnScanResult += ScanResultHandler; is showing an error at OnScanResult

This is my code  
using Niantic.ARDK.AR;  
using Niantic.ARDK.AR.Scanning;  
using Niantic.ARDK.Extensions;  
using Niantic.ARDK.Extensions.Scanning;  
using UnityEngine;  
using UnityEngine.Events;  
using System.Collections;  
using UnityEngine.UI;  
using System;  
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class ScanningExampleManager : MonoBehaviour  
{  
[SerializeField]  
[Tooltip(“The scene’s ARScanManager”)]  
private ARScanManager \_scanManager;  
// …

```
[SerializeField]
private PointCloudVisualizer _pointCloudVisualizer;

void Start()
{
    // Set default visualizer
    _scanManager.SetVisualizer(_pointCloudVisualizer);
    _scanManager.OnScanResult += ScanResultHandler;

}

public void ScanButtonPressed()
{
    _scanManager.StartScanning();
}

public void StopButtonPressed()
{
    _scanManager.StopScanning();
}

public void ProcessButtonPressed()
{
    IScanner.State state = _scanManager.ScannerState;
    if (state == IScanner.State.ScanCompleted)
    {
        // Start processing scan 
        _scanManager.StartProcessing();
    }
}

public Slider _progressBar;

private void Update()
{
    IScanner.State state = _scanManager.ScannerState;

    if (state == IScanner.State.Processing)
    {
        _progressBar.gameObject.SetActive(true);
        _progressBar.value = _scanManager.GetScanProgress();
    }
    else
    {
        _progressBar.gameObject.SetActive(false);
    }
}

public void CancelProcessButtonPressed()
{
    _scanManager.CancelProcessing();
}

private GameObject scannedObject;
private GameObject _scannedObjectPrefab;
public Transform _scannedObjectParent;

private void ScanResultHandler(TexturedMesh texturedMesh, IScanner.State state, Vector3 centerPosition)
{
    if (texturedMesh != null)
    {
        if (scannedObject == null)
        {
            scannedObject = Instantiate(_scannedObjectPrefab, _scannedObjectParent);
        }
        Bounds meshBoundary = texturedMesh.mesh.bounds;
        scannedObject.transform.localPosition = -1 * meshBoundary.center;
        scannedObject.transform.localScale = Vector3.one / meshBoundary.extents.magnitude;
        scannedObject.GetComponent<MeshFilter>().sharedMesh = texturedMesh.mesh;
        if (texturedMesh.texture != null)
            scannedObject.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = texturedMesh.texture;
    }
}

```

}

Hello Shoib,

Sorry for the confusion, that event has been replaced with **ScanProcessed** (you can find it in the C# script the the ARScanManager) so instead of **\_scanManager.OnScanResult += ScanResultHandler** , you will want to do **\_scanManager.ScanProcessed += ScanResultHandler**

The arguments are also a little different so in your ScanResultHandler function, the signature should look like **private void ScanResultHandler(IScanner.ScanProcessedArgs args)** and \*\*args \*\*will contain the TexturedMesh.

If you have any additional questions, please open a separate topic and provide descriptions of your issues so that we can look into them.
