Hi there  
I added a photorealistic global base layer by using the Google Maps Platform Map Tiles API and 3D Tiles.  
When I search for the address: 〒464-0811 Aichi, Nagoya, Chikusa Ward, Asaokachō, 3-chōme−36-1 Kato Corp, I cannot see the 3D image in the lower half of the map.  
Translating down doesn’t show anything either. Can you explain this problem to me?

**Step reproduce** :  
Step 1: Go to: [Sandcastle | CesiumJS](https://sandcastle.cesium.com/?id=google-photorealistic-3d-tiles)  
Step 2: Search 〒464-0811 Aichi, Nagoya, Chikusa Ward, Asaokachō, 3-chōme−36-1 Kato Corp

Hi @Van_Truong_Nguyen,

This seems to me like the same issue as in [this post](https://community.cesium.com/t/google-photorealistic-3d-tileset-not-loading-at-a-specific-location/43160/10). There doesn’t appear to be a resolution yet.

In your case, when I rotate the camera ever so slightly after navigating to the referenced location, the lower half of the map instantly loads in.

I did some investigation in the linked post, and it strongly looks like this is the same issue here. Specifically: It is not that this data is not loaded. It is only occluded by what appears to be a huge wall…

![Cesium P3DT Wall](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cesium/original/3X/3/2/3215ede6a5bd408ae94a10343128ac501d0eea86.gif)

My guess until now (and it’s a pretty wild guess, but not totally unreasonable) is that this is an instance of [Wrong tiles selected for refinement in certain areas · Issue #12683 · CesiumGS/cesium · GitHub](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/issues/12683) : It might be that it is selecting and rendering a level of detail that is just very, very wrong. It could be a tile that _should_ only be rendered for a zoom level that shows ~“nearly the whole globe”.

In the linked post, you said

> It’s unclear to me whether this is a data issue (Google) or a renderer issue (Cesium).

**Iff** it is an instance of that issue (which still has to be confirmed!), then it’s apparently a CesiumJS issue - at least, there recently was a post with a direct comparison of CesiumJS and the ThreeJS renderer at [Rendering issue with cesium sandcastle and js - #4 by Alok\_Maurya](https://community.cesium.com/t/rendering-issue-with-cesium-sandcastle-and-js/44730/4) , where that issue seemed to only appear in CesiumJS.
