Description
## New Feature
We need a way to draw lines on 3d maps that have specific elevation/altitude. Currently, it seems that every path is only defined by lat/long and is always glued to the terrain.
This is what we want to achieve:

## Why
The value is that now paths, points, and possibility annotations wouldn't be bound to the terrain anymore.
Not sure if there's a workaround to make this possible with the current beta sdk or if there's a plan to support this soon!
Thanks!

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the beta SDK's current path, point, and annotation APIs and documentation to determine whether altitude is supported or has a workaround; done means enabling lines and points to use explicit elevation instead of being bound to terrain.
