Here: https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/3d-buildings/

It's possible to draw 3D buildings by taking advantage of extrusions, however the 3D vector layer source is the Mapbox's underlying extract of the OSM:

The 'building' layer in the mapbox-streets vector source contains building-height. data from OpenStreetMap.

What I'm looking for is to add my custom vector layer (Geojson, WFS) which contains Polygons with Z values (3D)/feature property called height. Thus (in case of GL JS, same exists for Android) to extend this example:

https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/geojson-polygon/

To support extrusions or whatever it takes to draw 3D buildings in Mapbox GL JS.

I tried 2 approaches:

  1. Simply add to the draw polygon from GeoJson example features with Z values - this is not working. Probably because from graphical perspective there is no automatic conversion from 2D polygon on the surface to 3D Box (like this is why there is a term called extrusions).
  2. So then I tried to add vector source layer to the extrusion example. It seems that the requirements are: (a) 'type': 'fill-extrusion', (b) Feature property 'height', (c) Add paint attribute with the 'fill-extrusion-X' sub attributes. This is the complete code - and this also not works. Where is my mistake?

Check the error console, it explains that

'fill-color': '#088', 'fill-opacity': 0.8

aren't valid paint properties for fill-extrusion layers.

See the example at https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/3d-buildings/ and documentation at https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/style-spec/#layers-fill-extrusion
