Export Asset gzips individual files

Cesium ion
1

We are encouraging our customers to use Cesium Ion for their storage and processing solution. Some users want to export and host the assets themselves, but the Export Asset tool is currently gzipping 3d tiles. The gzipped tilesets return an error when loaded in cesium sandcastle and various other platforms and the individual files, including the tileset.json file, need to be unzipped.

Do you have advice on dealing with this issue? Is there a setting in CesiumJS that can be enabled to automatically unzip the files when loaded?

Can you provide some more context about how you are using the asset export functionality?

  • Are you sending the files to S3 or Azure?
  • How are you getting the data from S3 or Azure to CesiumJS?

If you are not aware the Make available for download toggle on the Asset Details panel is another way to export the data. It will create a single ZIP file. Once the file is unzipped the asset data is not compressed. Is that something that may meet your needs?
