gltf-lit render plugin

A render plugin that renders point data with GLTF models using PBR material.

Configuration

{
  renderPlugin: {
    // [必填] 固定为gltf-lit
    type: 'gltf-lit',
    // [必填] 数据设置
    dataConfig: {
      // [必填] 固定为 native-point
      type: 'native-point'
    }
  },
  filter: true,
  symbol: {
    visible: true,
    bloom: false,
    ssr: false,
    polygonFill: [1, 1, 1, 1],
    polygonOpacity: 1,
    // 模型在本地坐标系各轴上的偏移（米）、缩放与旋转
    translationX: 0,
    translationY: 0,
    translationZ: 0,
    scaleX: 1,
    scaleY: 1,
    scaleZ: 1,
    rotationX: 0,
    rotationY: 0,
    rotationZ: 0,
    fixSizeOnZoom: 10
  }
}

Supported data types

• For vector tile data, Features with a type of Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString or MultiPolygon are supported
• For GeoJSON data, Features with a type of Point, LineString, Polygon, MultiPoint, MultiLineString or MultiPolygon are supported
• For vector layers, maptalks.Marker, maptalks.MultiPoint, maptalks.LineString, maptalks.MultiLineString, maptalks.Polygon, maptalks.MultiPolygon are supported.

Dynamic styles

The gltf render plugin supports function-type on the following properties: visible, modelHeight, translationX / translationY / translationZ, rotationX / rotationY / rotationZ, scaleX / scaleY / scaleZ (2026 source code GLTFMixin).

For example, the following makes the model height increase with the map zoom level:

{
 "modelHeight": {
    "stops": [[1, 10], [20, 100]]
  }
}

Note: the GLTF plugin does not support function-type for colors such as polygonFill / polygonOpacity (the old documentation was incorrect; GLTFMixin.getFnTypeConfig in the 2026 source code returns empty).

Supported Symbol style properties

---

visible

Default: true

Boolean — whether it is visible.

---

polygonFill

Default: [1, 1, 1, 1]

String | Number[] — the base color, either a css color value or a normalized four-element array.

---

polygonOpacity

Default: 1

Number — opacity, range 0-1.

---

bloom

Default: false

Boolean — whether to enable the bloom post-processing effect.

---

url

Default: 'pyramid'

String — the URL of the GLTF model, either a url or a base64 string. When omitted, the built-in pyramid model is used.

---

modelHeight

Default: null

Number — the height of the model in the scene (in meters). Once set, the model is scaled automatically to that height.

---

anchorZ

Default: 'center'

String — the vertical anchor of the model. Options: 'center', 'bottom', 'top'.

---

animation

Default: false

Boolean — whether to play the model's built-in skeletal animations, used together with loop, speed and animationName.

---

translationX / translationY / translationZ

Default: 0

Number — the offset of the model along the x (/y/z) axis of its local coordinate system, in meters.

---

scaleX / scaleY / scaleZ

Default: 1

Number — the scale of the model along the x (/y/z) axis of its local coordinate system.

---

rotationX / rotationY / rotationZ

Default: 0

Number — the rotation angle of the model around the x (/y/z) axis of its local coordinate system, in degrees.

Note: in the 2026 source code (GLTFMixin), the model's translation/rotation/scale use the component form translationX/Y/Z, rotationX/Y/Z, scaleX/Y/Z (all supporting function-type); the array form translation / scale / rotation from the old documentation no longer applies (2026 cross-check).

---

fixSizeOnZoom

Default: null

Number — whether to fix the model size at all zoom levels so the model no longer scales with the map. The value is the zoom level, i.e. the model is fixed to its size at that level.
