Hello,
Whats the simplest way to display an ellipsoid in CZML? Documentation lacks examples on that, so far I have got(ellipsoid wont show up):
{
"id":"ellipsoid.33",
"label":{
"text":"ellipsoid.33",
"show":true
},
"ellipsoid":{
"show":true,
"outline":true,
"outlineColor":{
"rgba":[
255,255,0,255
]
},
"orientation":{
"unitQuaternion":[
0,0,0,1
]
},
"material":{
"solidColor":{
"color":{
"rgba":[
255,0,0,255
]
}
}
},
"radii":{
"cartesian":[
200.0,200.0,200.0
]
},
"fill":true,
"position":{
"cartesian":[
25.414749984921922,50.153552048264714,0.0
]
}
}
}
Also I need clarification : do I need to specify position in cartesian instead cartographic? If so, how can I convert cartesian to cartographic.
I assume you want to use cartographic degrees? If so, change
"cartesian":[
25.414749984921922,50.153552048264714,0.0
]
to
"cartographicDegrees":[
25.414749984921922,50.153552048264714,0.0
]
and you should be good to go. If that still doesn’t work, let me know and I’ll take a closer look.
Also, there’s a known bug, you can’t use the dot in an ID like “ellipsoid.33”. It will throw an exception trying to parse things like “ellipsoid.33.position”. All other chars are legal.

Still wont work, with following czml :
[
{
"id":"ellipsoid33",
"ellipsoid":{
"show":true,
"outline":true,
"outlineColor":{
"rgba":[
255,255,0,255
]
},
"orientation":{
"unitQuaternion":[
0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5
]
},
"material":{
"solidColor":{
"color":{
"rgba":[
255,0,0,255
]
}
}
},
"radii":{
"cartesian":[
6000.0,6000.0,6000.0
]
},
"fill":true,
"position":{
"cartographicDegrees":[
19.414749984921922,54.153552048264714,0.0
]
}
}
}
position and orientation should be outside the ellipsoid object, not part of it.
Thanks a lot! Now works.
