I’ve been trying to do a custom baselayer but it wont work. When I try manually doing it, everything here is grayed out.

Hi @Hayden_Lang ,

Thanks for your post. I am sorry the UI/UX for the picker is not as expected in your project.

Can you share some additional information on what you are trying to do?

If you are trying to add a custom baselayer to the picker, this thread provides some guidance and might be helpful [Customize Viewer's default baselayerpicker](https://community.cesium.com/t/customize-viewers-default-baselayerpicker/3717)

Please let me know if that does not help and I would be happy t try and assist further.

Thanks,  
Luke

Yes. I was trying to disable the baselayerpicker ui and force a custom baselayer, however I coulnd’t find a way to do it. I ended up choosing google maps to finish the project.
