[Cesium-3D] Does MapStore Maps suports elevation for Base Maps?

[Ricardo Ponte]

Hello everyone,

After visiting the DEV instance of MapStore, specifically the 3D Viewers, I was wondering if MapStore supports elevation in Base Maps?

I'm working with MapStore v2023.01.00, and I was curious if this was possible after looking at this part of the localConfig.json file:

    "defaultMapOptions": {
      "cesium": {
          "flyTo": true,
          "navigationTools": true,
          "showSkyAtmosphere": true,
          "showGroundAtmosphere": false,
          "enableFog": false,
          "depthTestAgainstTerrain": false,
          "terrainProvider": {
              "type": "ellipsoid"
          }
      },
      "floatingIdentifyDelay": 1000

    }

Hi,

it is possible using the special case of elevation layer. It can be used with terrain layer or BIL.

yes, you can use a pre-computed terrain cache, for example using
https://github.com/ahuarte47/cesium-terrain-builder/tree/master-quantized-mesh
- that's what we do with this config:

"terrainProvider": {
"type": "cesium",
"url": "https://3d.craig.fr/terrain",
"requestVertexNormals": true
}

you can also use cesium-ion provided terrains.
