The W3DS GetScene operation defines the following request parameters where the CityServer3D implementation deviates in interpretation or ignores the input
Table 3
. Deliberately ignored items indicate conceptual issues seen by Fraunhofer IGD.

1 The X3D 3.2 Geo extension cannot be used without an offset GeoOrigin in X3D 3.2, so there is an ambiguity resolved by this parameter. X3D 3.3 can only use the Geo
extension without offset, so again there is an ambiguity. This is not an issue when not targeting X3D browsers with and without geo extension available. However, we view a
simple decision by the requested X3D profile as insufficient for this use case because
only the “Full” most advanced profile encompasses the geo extension.
