Hi,

in the presentation

> **[3DTilesInAction.pdf](https://cesium.com/presentations/files/3DTilesInAction.pdf)**
>
> 6.78 MB

the vector tiling with format vctr is described - however in the tiles specification I only see

In which way is vector data supported in CesiumJS ?  
Does anyone know a converter from geojson/shp to 3dtiles ?

Hi @Ruediger_Brand,

Here are two previous discussions on vector tiling: [Support tiling vector data into 3D Tiles](https://community.cesium.com/t/support-tiling-vector-data-into-3d-tiles/10522) and [Vector Tiles · Issue #2132 · CesiumGS/cesium · GitHub](https://github.com/CesiumGS/cesium/issues/2132). Currently, vector tiling is limited to KML and GML formats. Supporting other formats such as GeoJSON is on the roadmap.

Hi @Rurui_Ye -

It looks like vctr tiles are currently an experimental feature. Here’s a [Sandcastle example](https://sandcastle.cesium.com/?src=3D%20Tiles%20Terrain%20Classification.html) and the [docs](https://github.com/CesiumGS/3d-tiles/tree/vctr/TileFormats/VectorData) for the format.

This example looks great.
