Hi,

is it possible to drap a billboard on the ground, like on a map ?

You mean ‘drop’? Yes. What are you doing? What are you trying to do? If you’re starting from scratch, here’s roughly the recepie;

  1. Hook into the mouse event for mouseup
  2. Pick coordinate for the mouse coordinate
  3. Create billboard entity clamping to ground

I’d try starting with a fresh Sandcastle, and also look through the existing ones for mouse events, picking, and billboard creation.

Cheers,

Alex

@Alexander_Johannesen - Hi,

no I mean “drap” - drapping means that the billboard is “flat” on the map or areal image, which I display on the terrain.

Right. No, I think billboards will always stay vertical, that’s the idea of 3D billboards. I guess you want 2D support for it, have you looked into the 2D mode in Cesium?

Cheers,

Hi,

the idea is right but I want it in 3D - I will look in the 2D mode.
