Cesium Cylinder Can't Move Across Dateline/Antimeridian

[mlptownsend]

What happened?

We had a Cesium example crash, and it appears to not like it when a Cesium cylinder entity is moved across the dateline. I made a Sandcastle repro, linked below. A big cylinder is moved from longitude 175 towards 180, but after a few steps Cesium crashes with "DeveloperError: All attribute lists must have the same number of attributes."

Hi there,

We've seen some similar reports of problems with geometries crossing the IDL, but this looks like it may be a unique case due to the crash.

It looks like there is a problem when the geometry is split across the IDL. This is done to allow visualization in 2D. Is 2D mode needed for your case? If not, a workaround would be to create the viewer with the following scene3DOnly option:

const viewer = new Cesium.Viewer("cesiumContainer", {
  scene3DOnly: true
});

Yeah I can do that in this case, thanks!
