I have a model with a few heatmaps and I'm trying to make the cutplanes work with them, but currently not achieving it.
I searched on the DataViz api documentation and I didn't found any information on it, even though I've noticed that on the DataViz reference app you can select by floor and it looks like a cutplane. Any idea?
Update: Good News! Heatmap gets cut planes supported now. (tested with v7.58)
=====
I got the confirmation from our engineering team. Unfortunately, the cut planes aren't implemented for the Heatmaps now, so we logged a wishlist item, LMV-6409, to add this support. You're welcome to track updates via sending an email to forge[DOT]help[AT]autodesk[DOT]com quoting this wishlist item id.

I had an idea to hide gifts for different occasions (Christmas, Birthday, Anniversary, etc) around the house, and create an app that will act as a "locator". Preferably, I would like to have AR directions similar to those shown in Google Maps' Live View Walking Directions. Are there any platforms that exist to help me map out my house and create these AR Markers showing which way to go?
My worst case scenario at the moment is to just place an AirTag with the gift and let them use my phone to find the item. This will require almost no prep time, but loses the "cool" factor. I don't mind spending a lot of time on this as it's something I would enjoy doing.
After some extended research, I was able to find that Google's ARCore Cloud Anchors are exactly what I am looking for. More information can be found here: https://developers.google.com/ar/develop/cloud-anchors
Cloud Anchors let you map a location, place anchors, and attach virtual content to these anchors. These are great for private locations and events where you can show up ahead of time, map the location, and place content.
I am using react-native-maps library with expo to render google maps for android and ios.
At some point, I need to render map in first person view mode, something like this:
I've read react-native-maps documentation and searched github and stackoverflow questions to get an answer but wasn't able to find any.
Can I achieve this using this library?
EDIT:
After many research, I've found #1544 which allows us to rotate map, change view angle, etc.
But there is one little problem, functions animateToBearing and animateToViewingAngle are still working fine, but they are deprecated. And new function animateCamera leads me to another problem
I want to create an embedded Google Maps on my non profit website. I've asked around to a few "professional" developers, and they all want thousands of dollars... in case you missed it, this is a non profit.
What I want to do is embed a Google Map on my website that will:
Allow anonymous users to type in an intersection, (ie: Woodward and Fort), grab the map, pan and zoom.
Allow users to anonymously add markers to the map. These markers will be pre-set, one for "suspected drug activity," another for "illegal dumping," "dangerous structure," etc...
Allow users to anonymously comment on those markers and have that activity take place in an "Info Box" on that marker. The comments should be saved in the info box for other anonymous users to see. It'd be nice if there were some way I, as an admin, could have those comments appear in a custom admin window so they can be easily printed out and taken to the police.
Allow only the site administrator to delete markers.
The anonymous users should not be able to move or delete a marker once its placed. Whatever happens on the map should pretty much stay there for anyone to see until it gets deleted by an admin.
Long story short, I live in Detroit, MI and have my entire life. I've traveled the world, but home is home and I love it. I see young people like myself being passionate about the city but most of us don't know how to engage and even though we're outraged by whats going on in our neighborhoods, we're complicitly silent on the problems. I want to create this site so people can keep a public record of the problems in the neighborhoods so the police can do something about it. A second map would share positive news on the city to show that its not all doom and gloom and there are things that are beautiful, fun, safe, and worth-while here.
If you don't mind pitching in some time to help, I'd appreciate it very much. But if you've got an idea on how to code it, I can try to do it myself.
Thanks for reading, and thanks for your input.
Thanks everyone for your support. In response to Duncan here is my specific question:
How can I embed a map on my site but still have a place for visitors to type in an intersection and be taken there while still on my site?
Thanks!
Google provides a pretty basic tutorial for implementing google maps here: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/tutorial
I'm building an application where user-submitted posts are placed via their location as markers on a Google Map. The users are currently able to view the markers/posts on a map in relation to their current location.
What I'm aiming to do is allow the user to change the location of the map so that users can see the markers/posts in relation to another address, specifically via a form that allows them to enter an address and change the location of the map.
I found a YouTube video illustrating a pretty close approximation of what I'm aiming to do, but it unfortunately provides no code or instructions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uyIawlsvzU).
Is there a way to efficiently wrap an existing Google Map and the existing markers into a form such as this? I've searched for a solution but can't seem to find the proper way to achieve this. Many thanks for any feedback.
You need to search for LatLng by user specified address and to display it. I see not problems at all :)
Study Google Geocoding API for this (seems best solution for your case) and this example
I'm using the Google Maps generator to create a few maps for a client. The maps embeded on the site are a bit small (255x176), so map real state is crucial. I've already removed the balloon, but can't find a way to remove the "Earth" view button from it (all newly generated maps come with it now, 4 views in total).
The annoying part is that the "Earth" view requires a Google Earth plugin to be used anyway, something the client could live without - me too.
Any advices there? Feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Wallace
You may customize the map controls using the MAPS API.
Visit http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/controls.html#DefaultUI
Look for MapTypeControlOptions and pass appropriate map type you want to show.
Refer http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapTypeControlOptions
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#MapTypeId
If using the default UI, you would get only the map types in G_DEFAULT_MAP_TYPES, which does not include the Earth map type (G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP).
This means your generator is adding this map type explicitly. So you should be able to simply look for G_SATELLITE_3D_MAP in the javascript you get from the generator, and remove references to it.
If you are still having troubles, can you provide a link to the map generator you are using?
