+# CESIUM_tile_edges
+
+## Contributors
+
+* Ian Lilley, Cesium
+* Sean Lilley, Cesium
+
+## Status
+
+Draft
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Written against the glTF 2.0 specification.
+
+## Overview
+
+This extension allows terrain tiles encoded in glTF to identify vertices that make up tile edges, modeled after [quantized-mesh](https://github.com/CesiumGS/quantized-mesh). It is helpful to know which vertices are on the edges in order to add skirts to hide cracks between adjacent levels of detail.

+
+Each edge specifies the ID of an accessor containing indices of vertices that make up the edge. The accessor `componentType` must be `UNSIGNED_SHORT` (5123) or `UNSIGNED_INT` (5125).
+
+The four edges form a counter-clockwise ring around the triangle mesh
+
+* `left` indices are on the left edge (generally negative X) and are ordered from top to bottom (generally positive Z to negative Z)
+* `bottom` indices are on the bottom edge (generally negative Z) and are ordered from left to right (generally negative X to positive X)
+* `right` indices are on the right edge (generally positive X) and are ordered from bottom to top (generally negative Z to positive Z)
+* `top` indices are on the top edge (generally positive Z) and are ordered from right to left (generally positive X to negative X)
+
+## Optional vs. Required
+
+This extension is optional, meaning it should be placed in the `extensionsUsed` list, but not in the `extensionsRequired` list.
