Description

## New Feature

I am using the new experimental maps, and I am able to select/deselect buildings using FeatureSet.

My use case is highlighting a single building, but in really dense environments like NYC, the other buildings come into the viewport and hide the selected building.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to achieve this?

Maybe hiding the other buildings or reducing their extrusion height?

How do I get a clear viewport between the camera and the selected building?

## Why

A building in dense environments is hidden by other buildings in the viewport.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by investigating experimental maps and FeatureSet selection for 3D buildings, then establish whether a supported way exists to keep a selected building visible in dense environments; done should clearly define the resulting behavior or document that it is unsupported.
