5 years ago @OmarShehata can you find out more information about the use case for this? I would suggest using styling to hide features. I'm not sure hiding a tile is helpful in most cases because it's not meaningful as far as the data is concerned. Any number of features can be in a tile, and the tile children may be drastically different from the tile depending on the type of refinement used.

5 years ago While there's no way to hide a tile with the styling language, I believe the Cesium API itself allows this if that's what they really need. I'm with @hpinkos though, this use case sounds weird and not something we would support through styling. (but we'll see what the user says).

5 years ago How would you hide a tile with the CesiumJS API right now?

5 years ago I may be mistaken. I thought you could listen to the tileLoad event on Cesium3DTileset and then set visible to false on Cesium3DTile, but that doesn't look public. You might actually be able to cheat and do the same thing but set Cesium3DTiles.color to Color.TRANSPARENT

5 years ago @OmarShehata We need to understand why they want to hide a tile instead of hiding features using styling. I think there's a better way to accomplish whatever they're trying to do.

5 years ago I agree with you @hpinkos .

5 years ago @OmarShehata any updates here, should we just close this since we all agree there's no good use case for this in the styling language?

5 years ago The user never responded to my request for details in the forum thread, so I'm fine with closing.

4 years ago @cesium-concierge I don't think it's a good idea to change the transparent, the 3d tile model is still there and influences the interaction and browser speed

4 years ago Can you describe what your use case is @limzen ? Have you tried using the styling language to hide features in your 3D Tileset?
This feature would add a
showproperty onCesium3DTileso you can show/hide individual tiles. The use case is here on the forum:https://groups.google.com/d/msg/cesium-dev/FwURIcrErv4/nQkCiM_XCAAJ
There doesn't seem to be a way to hide an individual tile with the styling language. I suggested a workaround of just splitting it into multiple 3D tilesets (each could be selectively hidden) but that doesn't work if you're trying to clip your data as one tileset with a clipping plane (since tilesets can't share clipping planes).
