Hi,
I’m wondering if it is possible/will be possible to merge tilesets into a single asset within the Cesium Ion UI?
Currently, I believe, you can download your tiled assets and reupload them into Ion into a single asset. It would be very useful to be able to skip the download and reupload step and select two (or more!) assets to merge.
Thanks,
Will
Hi,
Can you please describe what your use case is for trying to merge the tilesets? The two separate tilesets can be streamed together into your viewing engine of choice and Cesium ion stories allows you to visualize them together too.
Hi Ankit,
We’ve noticed there’s a performance impact when there are a large number of tileset.jsons in a scene, so our theory is that merging assets so they have a single tileset.json could increase performance. What are your thoughts on this?
Our second use case is for when we have a tileset that is big (e.g. > 100GB), if we want to add a small part to this tileset, uploading and retiling the whole source data can take a very long time. So being able to tile the small part separately and then merging it into the big tileset would save us lots of time.
Thanks,
Will
Hi,
I see the need for the merging operation. Currently cesium ion doesn’t allow merging tilesets that way within the ion UI. I will convey this feedback to the team to take a look at for being added to the roadmap.
I can point you to CesiumGS/3d-tiles-tools for performing merge operations locally. For an already uploaded asset, you will still need to download the tiled asset but you can run the operation locally if you would like.
Thanks Ankit, will perform locally for now.
