Hi Shashi,

What kind of data are you working with? How large of an area are you trying to visualize?

For example, this example in Sandcastle uses topojson to outline states.

Thanks for the reply,
Actually, we don’t have data (it could be shapefiles, geojson etc.) we want to generate data using cesium API, the area is not defined we can select anywhere on the map to see the watershed area in a rectangular shape to generate the watershed area.
How to generate watershed you can check on Qgis using this link.
QGIS Tutorial 1: Generating watersheds from DEM

Thanks

Hi Shashi,

The easiest way is to generate the data using the QGIS tutorial you included, upload the data to Cesium ion, and use our Cesium API to initialize the watershed boundary with the uploaded asset.

You can also use sampleTerrainMostDetailed, which will allow you to pick points on the terrain and then you can draw line connecting those points. This is the way to go if you have generated data and would like to directly copy and paste them into your code file.

There is currently not a watershed dataset in Cesium or a way to do what the QGIS tutorial is showing in Cesium.
