Insert a model and make a part of it clickable and change its color

[Luke_McKinstry]

Hi @kufte ,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Cesium community.

This thread may be more relevant in providing details for dealing with metadata from a glTF (though it is a bit long )

The core questions seem similar to yours

1. What is the best/recommended way to transfer the metadata which is already present in the glTF file into the tileset and thus enabling us to e.g. get the room ID when a user clicks on the room?
2. Or is there another way of using metadata of a glTF file within CesiumJS without transfering it into the tileset?

Best practices for tileset and glTF structure and embedding metadata

The ‘3D Tiles’ category is probably the right place for this sort of question. But as you said: The question is extensive, and the answers to questions about “Best Practices” basically always start with “It depends…”. The first bullet point list already contains some points that will affect what exactly the ‘best’ solution could be. But there still are many degrees of freedom and options. I’ll try to address these, with the huge disclaimers that… metadata handling in 3D Tiles and glTF is a ~“…

Please let us know if this thread does not address your use case or if you have further questions.
Best,
Luke
