**1. A concise explanation of the problem you’re experiencing.**

I have created two 3d tiles using FME 3dtile writer. Both tiles are the same location. One tile is the TIN surface created form a local DEM and this displays when run using the Cesium 3Dtiles samples master server. The second tile has an image draped onto it using the Appearance setter function in FME and this tile does not display in Cesium viewer.

**2. A minimal code example. If you’ve found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.**

Code is as per the 3dtiles\_samples\_master

**3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.**

I am trying to display 3D tiles using local DEM and imagery or vector draped onto the DEM.

**4. The Cesium version you’re using, your operating system and browser.**

Cesium 1-35, windows 10, Chrome

Can you send over the problematic tileset?

Hi,  
I’d also like to see the resolution for this as I have found the same problem with FME - I’ve converted shapefiles, fgbdbs, collada and other types to 3D Tiles in FME 2017.0.0.1 and the tiles do not show, yet it works for the sample dataset within Cesium 1.35.

Regards,

Nick Duggan
