Hi,
following the tutorial of Cesium for Unity I added to the map a simple cube from Unity.
Then I taken a position from Google Maps as (lat, long, alt) and placed the cube by writing these values in the Cesium Globe Anchor component in the cube Inpsector.
Unfortunately this results in a wrong placement of the cube on the map.
Do I need to do some preliminary actions or something I missed?
Anyone can give me some help?
Thank you
Fabio
Hi @febo, welcome to the community!
We need more detail from you in order to troubleshoot your issue. In particular,
- How is the placement of the cube “wrong”? Please include screenshots of what you’re seeing!
- What longitude, latitude, and height are you trying to place the cube at?
- What terrain tileset are you using? Cesium World Terrain? Or Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles?
Thank you in advance!
Hi Janine,
here’s the informations you asked:
- I attached two images, one from google maps and one from the Unity interface. In the Unity one I highlighted the different positions with red squares
- These are the coordinates: Lat: 41.11815077, Long: 16.89295118
- I’m using Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles
Thank you for your feedback.
Regards
Fabio
Hi @febo, thank you so much for the detailed information. Unfortunately I can’t seem to reproduce the issue on my side. For reference, this is what I see in Google Earth at the coordinates you gave me:
So I started with a scene containing Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, then moved the georeference near the location you gave me. Then, I dropped in a cube and attached a globe anchor. I manually set the cube’s coordinates to the long/lat you gave me, and it seems to be in the correct place.
I also confirmed that when I use Cesium World Terrain and Bing Maps Imagery, the position is accurate as well.
Is there something I’m misunderstanding? Can you please describe step-by-step how you got to the incorrect position, as you shared in your screenshots?
Hi Janine,
thank you for you reply.
As you can see in the last screenshot of my Unity interface, I have the scene with Google Photorealistic 3D Tiles, then I created the cube as child of CesiumGeoreference asset and then I attached the coordinates in the Cesium Globe Anchor component in the cube inspector. That’s it!
I repeated the procedure with a second cube, the cube is not placed where expected but even in a different location with respect my last reply.
Then I have to say that is really, really…really hard to control translation, rotation of the world. The map moves really slowly or not move at all, sometimes I have the following behaviour while zooming:
