Hello I’m looking for some information about vtkCesium3DTilesWriter. Particularly an explanation on the input parameters would be useful, and a list of required vs optional parameters.

These are the only pages I was able to find, but unfortunately not completely informative:

[https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html//classvtkCesium3DTilesWriter.html](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html//classvtkCesium3DTilesWriter.html)

[https://www.kitware.com/3d-tiles-generation-using-vtk/](https://www.kitware.com/3d-tiles-generation-using-vtk/)

Thanks!!

This is the script we use to generate 3dtiles from a list of obj or citygml files. You may be able to use this directly to do the conversion you need.
