Hi,

I want to get the 3D models which is near to the camera. i.e., based on the zoom level or distance, I should get the models details (e.g. Id or list of all the model details).

Does cesium providing any such API to achieve this? or how to achieve this functionality?

Thank you!

There’s currently no built in support for only loading models that are close to the camera, but such a feature has been prototyped as part of our 3D Tiles work and may eventually make it into master. You might be able to do something yourself by comparing the distance of the camera to other potential models in the scene, but depending on how many objects you have, that may not scale.
