Users need access to the NYC tileset

hpinkos opened this issue · 8 comments

The workshop includes instructions for signing up for an ion account, but then they have no way to access the NYC tileset because it is not in the asset depot.

@mramato is this something we can make available for users to add to their accounts?

Absolutely, I honestly don't know why we've waited so long to do it. We just need to be sure to use the latest version of the data set and get it clamped to CWT.

Is there any interest in generate 2 tilesets - 1 White (as currently exists) and 1 colored - like the "usual" citygml data representation with red roofs etc?

I don't think we want to put 2 copies of NYC in the Asset Depot, so a single copy is preferred, clamped to CWT. We should decide if there is specific tile properties/metadata we want to include. For example we could change the workshop to color all of the roofs red based on metadata? Might be too much for a first iteration, just throwing ideas out there.

But my default answer is, white tileset clamped to CWT and that's it.

Also reported by @jonathanvhive in CesiumGS/cesium-ion-rest-api-examples#242

AssetId changed from 3839 to 75343
var city = viewer.scene.primitives.add(new Cesium.Cesium3DTileset({ url: Cesium.IonResource.fromAssetId(75343) }));

and heightOffset respect ellipsoid would be set to 0 instead of -32

there are also some minor error in the App.js... do you want a PR to fix them?

don a PR to fix access to the asset... that have to be added into MyAssets
