Description

The official mapbox map [example](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/set-config-property/) load a [3d building tile source](https://api.mapbox.com/v4/mapbox.mapbox-3dbuildings-v1.json?secure&access_token=pk.eyJ1IjoiZXhhbXBsZXMiLCJhIjoiY2p0MG01MXRqMW45cjQzb2R6b2ptc3J4MSJ9.zA2W0IkI0c6KaAhJfk9bWg) with `glb` format for the 3D landmark buildings generated by Mapbox team.

I'd like to know:

1 What is the original format for the 3d models?

2 How is the `glb` tile data organized from the original model?

3 And open source tool can be used to generated our own 3d tiles?

Thanks.

Research direction

Begin with the linked Mapbox GL JS configuration example and the linked 3D building tile source. The issue names no repository files or tests; done would mean documenting the original model format, how the GLB tiles are organized, and which open-source tools can generate equivalent 3D tiles.
