z-order i3dm and VectorData-Polygons

CesiumJS

1. A concise explanation of the problem you're experiencing.

I have added vector data polygons (*.vctr) and i3dm data to the scene. The pixels of i3dm data are overlayed by vector data. But I expect to see the trees as they are, without the red color from vector data.

I tried to change the order of primitives.add, but it does not change the draw order.

Can I configure something to change the z-order?

I found a todo "Future work Polygon z-order": https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/pull/4665 may be it is a known issue?

2. A minimal code example. If you've found a bug, this helps us reproduce and repair it.

var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer', {
        terrainProvider: Cesium.createWorldTerrain()
  });

var flstTileset = new Cesium.Cesium3DTileset({
    url: ‘https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vitjok/testfile/master/vectordata/’
});
flstTileset.style = new Cesium.Cesium3DTileStyle({
    color: ‘rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3)’
});
var vctr = viewer.scene.primitives.add(flstTileset);

var treeTileset = new Cesium.Cesium3DTileset({
    url: ‘https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vitjok/testfile/master/i3dm/’
});
var tree = viewer.scene.primitives.add(treeTileset);

viewer.zoomTo(flstTileset);

3. Context. Why do you need to do this? We might know a better way to accomplish your goal.

I want to see the Polygons on the terrain and the trees over the terrain and over the Polygons.

Hi Maximus,

We have added geometry z-ordering in Cesium 1.46, however as you pointed out, it has no made it’s way into vector tiles yet (as they are still experimental). 3D Tiles Issue #69 covers adding it to the specification, I’ll bump that issue with this request.

Thanks,

Gabby

Hi Gabby,

I just noticed, that the sample does not work anymore (in current Version I have to append tileset.json to the url option).

And then (more important) I noticed a post about ClassificationType.TERRAIN https://cesiumjs.org/forum/#!msg/cesium-dev/1ptAh6n82KM/1kEFweikAQAJ (by Dan Bagnell).

This option seams to fix the issue.

Sample code:

var viewer = new Cesium.Viewer('cesiumContainer', {
        terrainProvider: Cesium.createWorldTerrain()
        });

var flstTileset = new Cesium.Cesium3DTileset({
    classificationType: Cesium.ClassificationType.TERRAIN,
    url: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vitjok/testfile/master/vectordata/tileset.json'
});
flstTileset.style = new Cesium.Cesium3DTileStyle({
    color: 'rgba(255, 0, 0, 0.3)'
});
var vctr = viewer.scene.primitives.add(flstTileset);

var treeTileset = new Cesium.Cesium3DTileset({
    url: 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vitjok/testfile/master/i3dm/tileset.json'
});
var tree = viewer.scene.primitives.add(treeTileset);

viewer.zoomTo(flstTileset);

Thanks,
Maximus

Perfect, thanks for the update! Setting the classification type to terrain will indeed work in this case, good thinking.
