Hi @Chat, here is a post that explains how you would achieve per-feature picking: [Per Feature Data - CAD/BIM Models](https://community.cesium.com/t/per-feature-data-cad-bim-models/11740)

Each feature needs to be a separate `dae` file with its own info in the `kml`. In that post, there’s an example excerpt of a `kml` file that enables per-feature selection.

You won’t be able to adjust the tileset location manually using this method, but a workaround would be to obtain the correct location through a separate step, and then put that location in the `kml` file. For example, you could upload the building as a non-georeferenced model, move it to the correct location using Adjust Tileset Location, and then copy the resulting lon/lat/height into your `kml` file.
