Hi
I have created cesium 3d tiles from a shapefile. The screenshot with pink 3d cylindrical shape shows that.
I would like to add border and vertical lines as you can see in the sample screenshot from google earth below:
Can anyone help on how I can do that?
+47Unfortunately this isn't possible with FME. You might be able to try and render the silhouette in Cesium, however, I'm not sure. https://cesium.com/docs/cesiumjs-ref-doc/ModelGraphics.html
Sorry for the lack of help :-/
+2You might be able to do this with the CSGBuilder to subtract the textured side if you have a 3D feature for area you want to cut out. Similarly if you have a 2D feature, you could do a similar operation with the SpatialFilter and then extrude and chop the feature.
If this works for you, then you can use step 6/7 from the Adding Different Textures to a 3d City Model article to add the screenshots as an appearance on the top and sides.

+47You could actually try and create the lines separately as Lines (I think b3dm supports lines). But you can't set a color on them with FME (https://knowledge.safe.com/idea/95399/allow-vector-features-in-gltf-to-be-coloured.html) so they would be white. If you're happy with white this could be an option.
It's not a solution, more of a workaround
