Hi there,
What terrain provider are you using? Here's a working example: http://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/?src=Hello%20World.html&label=Showcases&gist=31851ea4e2e77c8175d924d467a7e96e
You can use sampleTerrainMostDetailed to get the terrain height at a given location, and you can use this to correct the camera position to prevent it from going under the terrain.
Hope that helps,
- Rachel

Hi,
thanks for the reply, but it doesn't seem to work for me, maybe I'm using it wrong? If I try this piece of code in the sandcastle:
var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer');
Sandcastle.addToolbarButton('Fly to', function(){
var rectangle = new Cesium\.Rectangle\(0\.14864258869032076,
0\.8232505706843248,
0\.14865195136604184,
0\.8232689020789328\);
var target = viewer\.camera\.getRectangleCameraCoordinates\(rectangle\);
viewer\.camera\.flyTo\(\{
destination: target
\}\);
});
clicking 'Fly to' button works fine with WGS84 ellipsoid, if I switch on terrain the camera crashesh through the ground.
It seems like the function ignores terrain and resulting camera position ends up being under it (if the rectangle is small enough). My problem is that I only have these four coordinates, I don't know what altitude the terrain around that rectangle is at.
Thanks but unfortunately that example doesn't work for me - Cesium zoom problem - Album on Imgur
So if I understand that correctly Camera.flyTo with rectangle won't work with terrain, instead I shoud do:
- query terrain provider for height of some point inside rectangle using sampleTerrainMostDetailed
- get position to view that rectangle using getRectangleCameraCoordinates
- move that poit up by height computed from sampleTerrainMostDetailed
Is there some easy way to move point in ECEF by X meters UP (in a direction perpendicular to ellipsoid) or should I just convert it to local frame, move it up and then transform it back to fixed frame?
