URL Parameters

A few URL parameters will modify the behavior of the viewer:

• noLimit disable the navigation limits (sphere and lava). Use noLimit=false to enforce limits on local dev.
• assetIds display some additional Cesium ION 3dtilesets (coma separated list of CesiumIon ids)
• initialScreenSpaceError define the visual quality (default: 10000)
• maximumScreenSpaceError define the visual quality (default: 2.0 except for localhost which is 20.0)
• ownterrain=false disables the terrain (mind that their is only data in the swissrectangle) ownterrain=cli_ticino_0.5m' use the 0.5m terrain generated using Cesium CLI (for testing only - only around Ticino) ownterrain=cli_walensee_0.5m' use the 0.5m terrain generated using Cesium CLI (for testing only - only around Walensee)
• swissrectangle=false do not restrict rendering to the Swiss rectangle
• norequestrendermode disable the resource optimizations (will use 100% CPU)
• inspector display the Cesium Inspector widget
• inspector_wireframe enable the wireframe mode
• preserveDrawingBuffer allow to read canvas from the DOM, probably helping hotjar record the canvas
• date a date to be used for illumination (default to "2018-06-21T10:00:00.000Z")
• light a white light source from infinity (ex: 1-2-0-1000 will have direction (1, 2, 0) and intensity 1000)
• cesiumToolbar display configuration panel for fog, ambient, background color and terrain underground color
