Custom Imagery layer and kh.google.com 3D buildings layer #1042

Activating an imagery layer on a globe causes 3D buildings "kh.google.com" layer to be disabled. Displays instead the older version of 3D buildings.

Hi, @rentonxp.

This may be a problem with the earth client you're using. Can you provide reproduction steps, and versions of software you're using? E.g., what steps do you take to build your globe? What version of Fusion, Earth Server, Earth Client are you using? What platform are you running the Client and Server on?

Hello, I'm running fusion/server (centos 7) version 5.2.4-0.alpha.201809061452, EC 7.3.2.5493 (32-bit) with windows 7. Reproduction steps :

Building imagery resource
Building imagery project
Building new Earth (3D) database including my imagery project only
Publishing my database to my Enterprise Server
Opening EC 7.3.2.5493 (32-bit) on win 7
Connecting to Google Earth server http://kh.google.com:80/
Activating 3D Buildings layer
Connecting to my globe
Activating imagery layer on my globe

Thx

If I understand correctly what you're doing from your description, it's not something that you can do with Enterprise Client.

You can be connected to only one globe at a time, so, if you connect to your globe, you're no longer connected to kh.google.com. (Does that URL even work?)

You can build a KML layer in your globe to refer to layer served from another server (if it supports an output compatible with KML).

The open source Fusion and Server don't seem to provide support for building and serving 3D modes in a globe.

Connecting my GEC to more than 1 globe is working fine. When my globe contains only vector layers, 3D buildings display properly. A globe with Image layers seem to cause this problem.

I've followed your reproduction steps with client 7.3.2 on Linux and I'm not able to replicate the issue. It's possible that it's Windows specific. I'll give that a try as well but it will take a little more work to set up.
