View Tile3DLayer with OrbitView

[sidrubs]

We have 3D tiles hosted on Cesium ION which we are displaying using the Tile3DLayer. The default view for deck.gl is the MapView which works great. However, we have some use cases where we are not using a base map and the OrbitView behaviour would work better.

This CodePen is an example Tile3DLayer loading well using MapView. However trying to achieve a similar thing with OrbitView does not seem to work (see CodePen).

A couple notes on my OrbitView code:

• I am setting the Tile3DLayer's coordinateSystem to COORDINATE_SYSTEM.CARTESIAN.
• I have tried using the tileset cartesianCenter and cartographicCenter as the view state target, but neither shows the 3D tileset.

Is it possible to view a Tile3DLayer using OrbitView? Maybe the Tile3DLayer is being rendered, but I am looking in the incorrect location?

I believe the 3D tiles loader expects the viewport to be geospatial (since you are rendering geospatial data). The coordinateSystem of the layer wouldn't matter here because the format of the coordinates is defined by the 3D Tiles specification.

What kind of controller behavior are you looking for?

@Pessimistress do you perhaps know of a method/settings to enable the MapView to allow one to examine and zoom in to all angles of the 3D model?

[Pessimistress]

maxPitch can be set to a value larger than 90, allowing you to view the bottom of the scene. The zoom behavior might be a bug.

Thank you for your response. Yeah, the zoom behavior gets a bit buggy. I'll have to give it some extra thought.

@sidrubs did you ever have any luck using orbit view or making map view behave better? thanks

[sidrubs]

@mohadib sadly I never figured it out.

how about 8 months later?

Im planning a universal dgesture manager improvement that may interest you in scaling the level of control you could have over your OrbitView ? 👀🤞

Its not directly related - but reading into the rest of the system may help you better understand the fix.
