MapKit Custom 3D Models

Dear Apple Team and everyone who has experience with MapKit.

I am building an app where I need to hide some 3D models and replace them with my custom 3D meshes using SceneKit. Up until now I was using Mapbox it allows to get mesh row data to reconstruct all maps 3D. Is there something like this possible with MapKit?

Use cases

  1. Say you navigated to Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39 and there is no 3D model of actual building. I would like to be able to hide simple massing and replace it with my model.

  2. In 3D Satellite VIew some areas have detailed meshes. Say London The Queen's Walk. I would like to make specific area flat so I can place my 3D model on top of Satellite 3D View to illustrate new structure or building.

  3. Last one. Is it possible to change existing buildings colours? I know it is possible transparency

Thank you @apple
