CZML Box
- "box":
{ "dimensions": { "cartesian": [width, depth, height] }, "material": { "solidColor": { "color": { "rgba": [r,g,b,a] } } }, "fill": true|false, "outline": true|false, "outlineColor": { "rgba": [r,g,b,a] }, "outlineWidth": <number>, "show": true|false } — a closed rectangular cuboid centered on the entity's "position".
"dimensions" is [X, Y, Z] in meters (width, depth, height).
- For a wireframe-only box (outline, no fill), set
"fill": false and "outline": true.
- For a translucent fill, use a low "rgba" alpha (e.g.
128).
Example: three boxes — solid, translucent-outlined, and wireframe-only
