Entity: Assign an offset to path of a model

CesiumJS
1

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

I have a model that has its reference frame not exactly in the center of the model.

I would also like to display the path of the model, which ideally should be in the center of the model. Thus, I would like to apply an offset transform to the path or model.

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

    var entity = viewer.entities.add({

     position: W_t_W_M__sample,

            orientation: q_W_M__sample,

            model: {

                uri: resource,

                shadows: Cesium.ShadowMode.ENABLED, 

            },

            availability: new Cesium.TimeIntervalCollection([new Cesium.TimeInterval({

                start: start,

                stop: stop

            })]),

            path: {

                resolution: 1,

                material: new Cesium.PolylineGlowMaterialProperty({

                    glowPower: 0.1,

                    color: Cesium.Color.YELLOW

                }),

                width: 10,

// possibility to add some sort of offset?

            }

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

There are two option:

  1. Having some sort of offset in an entity would be nice

  2. Adding another entity with a new sample position just for the path

For the second option: How could I have two entities running both at the same time?

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