Hi @maxtorgr,
Thank you for your question! For this use case, I often recommend using maximumScreenSpaceError. I think that it is the simplest way to display a limited number of buildings. What do you mean by maximumScreenSpaceError is very random?
Alternatively, you can use our 3D Tiles styling language to only display objects with certain properties. The following community forum thread has some more insights into this strategy.
Please let me know if you have any additional questions or concerns. I am looking forward to learning more!
Best,
Sam
