Hello all,

does anyone have a working code example of how to toggle 3D buildings on/off in Cesium?

Since the OSM buildings in Cesium are solid, everything beneath them is obscured so I would like to add an option to toggle them on/off.

Thanks in advance!

Hello @Davor_Fiedler,

`createOsmBuildings` returns a `Cesium3DTileset`. You can show/hide this tileset by simply setting the value of `tileset.show`.

For example:

```auto
var tileset = viewer.scene.primitives.add(Cesium.createOsmBuildings());
tileset.show = true;

```

Best regards,

Hannah
