Is it possible to render cesium map layers using BIMsurfer3 #111

Open lukefchou opened 1 year ago

lukefchou commented 1 year ago

I can see that many js files from the CesuimJS are included in the project. Is it possible to render cesium map layers using BIMsurfer3?

There is limited functionality for that. See some examples here https://github.com/opensourceBIM/BIMsurfer/blob/master/apps/dev.js#L159-L185

Edit: to be precise, we only have support for 3D Tiles (a json format that wraps several geographically referenced glTFs) we do not have support for any other kinds of (2d) content.

Thanks @aothms
Further question: will the cesium imageryLayers feature be supported? I expect to load earth as the background of the BIM models.

I don't think there is any realistic timeline currently for that. The code you see in this repo is mostly provided as is. There are occasions where it will be used in some project and might be extended or improved, but it's currently not being continuously developed.
