It would be super nice if I can compress 3D Tiles data (glTF) with DRACO (https://google.github.io/draco/). File sizes get super small and rendering will be faster. I want to have an option in the 3D Tiles writer!

this would be awesome. Right now the 3d-Tiles (especially massive pointcloud datasets) are a bandwidth-hog. The performance would also be better.

I strongly hope this!

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

This feature will be extremely useful without further coding for 3d tiles post processing

I think it is a very good idea.

It's so useful that I want to enable it by default.

We initially added Draco compression to Cesium 3D Tiles back in 2023.

 

In FME 2026.2, we have now added an option to disable Draco compression (if desired) as well as improved the performance precision.
