Description

In the [blog post](https://www.mapbox.com/blog/standard-core-style) about the new Standard Style there is a section about real estate listing which shows this image:

I guess the blue 3d dots for each listing is achieved by using fill extrusions? The question is how they have been placed on the roof of each building which varies in height.

I would be very good with an example of how this is achieved in the documentation.

Research direction

Start with the linked Standard Style blog post and the existing fill-extrusion documentation to understand how the blue 3D listing markers are positioned relative to buildings of varying heights. Done means adding a documentation example that explains or demonstrates placing fill extrusions on building roofs.
