I tried to import(add asset) an external Cesium file. Everything looks fine—the image is clear—but the tileset location is incorrect. It also snaps deep underground, completely far away from the correct location. I checked the tileset JSON, and the tileset location should be correct. I don’t know why this is happening, and I can’t even change the tileset location within cesium ion. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cesium/original/3X/3/4/34b427ad481a79a29a8bb26b86faa4cfc4f3d485.jpeg) ---

I _think_ this might fit better into the Cesium ion section (so I just moved it here), but may it depend on whether the issue is indeed with the location editor or with the data. When you say that you imported an external file and that you inspected the tileset JSON, which tool did you use to create that? (There may be errors or inconsistencies in that tileset JSON that may cause it to not be displayed properly in the preview window) ---

Hi @blueay. Welcome to the Cesium Community. Can you provide us with some more context about this. That will help us better recommend a solution. - What type of data did you add? - What was the source of the data you added? - What is the id of the asset that was created? ---

It is simply called “Cesium” format . It is provided by my city’s government. The ID is 3225385. I tried to use the asset in Unreal Engine, but I can’t find a way to place the tile in the proper location. I tried adding the Unreal Engine Cesium component and adjusting various settings, but I still can’t move the tile correctly. Even in the cesium ion asset preview, it still appears in the wrong location. ---

Looking at the asset it appears you have selected the `11-NE-16B-1/tileset.json` file as the root tileset instead of `tileset.json`. Typically the one a the root of the zip file is the one you want to use. Please try uploading this data again, but select `tileset.json` instead of `11-NE-16B-1/tileset.json`. Please let us know if that resolves your issue ---

What a noob mistake on my part. Thanks for your help!
