• Add overlay warning to the Earth editor if the browser width is too narrow

New Features​

• Add scene property overriding to Re:Earth API

  

  To extend the abilities and possibilities of plugin development, the scene property is able to be overridden by a plugin (ex. for Cesium, skybox can be triggered, atmospheric conditions can be changed, etc by plugins).

  So we Added an overridePropertymethod to ReEarth API. This allows plugins to target specific scene property fields and modify them ephemerally (temporarily).

  Now do a merge to sceneProperty. If no overriddenSceneProperty will return the project's sceneProperty. If something is overridden, it'll merge into the project's.
