I have A retangle with a radar image as its materia on cesium , But when i swith between 2d and 3d ,the position of the same image on map is a little diferrent ! I tested it with singletileimageprovider ,it did not has this problem . Does. Any one konw what up?

I wonder if this has anything to do with what projection or tiling scheme the imagery uses. It’s a little hard to tell from the video because it looks like the 2D view is zoomed in a bit more than the 3D view? Are you able to share a Sandcastle example ([https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Apps/Sandcastle/](https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Apps/Sandcastle/)) of this so I can run it? ---

Very thank you sir, What i want is past a weather radar image to a rectangle , and this image should be clamp to terrain . But when the terrain layer is added , there should be no "height" attribution for the retangle, then i found the radar image has a small position shift in the 2d and 3d views. If i turn off the terrain layer and set height equal to zero for thr rectangle, then it is ok . Here is my test, please help me to fix this problem , thank you very mush! > **[Cesium Sandcastle](https://sandcastle.cesium.com/?)** > > The Cesium Sandcastle provides an interactive environment for testing Cesium code. ---

Thanks for posting this Sandcastle. I think it’s definitely easy to see that there’s a discrepancy when setting up the 2D and 3D viewer [side by side like in this Sandcastle](https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Build/Apps/Sandcastle/#c=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). It seems that this discrepancy is there regardless of whether the terrain is there or not. It’s just whether it’s clamped to the ground or not. I wonder if this is because the underlying primitive is different when clamping a rectangle to ground (it uses GroundPrimitive vs Primitive). In this Sandcastle I just posted, is it the 2D view that is in the correct position, or the 3D view?
