Turn off vertical exaggeration for some Models in the Scene

@ggetz I strongly agree with the several optimization solutions listed by @Jean-Dum . Overall, there are not many use cases for this feature. In limited use cases, most users should hope that the behavior of the model and terrain should be separated. However, further, users hope to independently control the exaggeration of each model. For example, in geological analysis use cases, users want to only exaggerate the geological model while keeping other building models above the geological model unchanged.

Of course, these suggestions will cause significant changes to the feature itself, and I am also very curious about what other users use cases are. I believe that more users need to participate in the discussion regarding this issue.

Thank you for openning this issue @jjhembd
I don't really know which solution would be the best to let the user choose on which object to apply verticalExaggeration, but it could be one of those options:

• Split behaviours between two different values (for example terrainExaggeration and modelsExaggeration)
• Allow the user to deactivate verticalExagerration for a given datasource (add an option disableVerticalExaggeration to CustomDataSource)
• Allow the user to deactivate verticalExaggeration for a given model (add an option disableVerticalExaggeration to ModelGraphics)

Maybe there is another solution which could be better for everyone!

Hi @jjhembd , setting exaggerated parameters for different models is an important feature. Is there a plan for the next step in addressing this issue?

Hi @syzdev, we don't have a planned date for this yet

If you'd like to add more information about your use case, that may help us prioritize. If you are interesting in contributing, please let us know and we'd be happy to discuss implementation or review a PR. Thanks!
