Adding a 3D layer to a Google Maps object

I want to add a 3D layer displaying the location and height of the cloud on Google Maps.

The idea is that when you tilt the map (ctrl + drag in Earth mode), you can see how high each cloud is.

I found this article explaining how to add 3D buildings, but it "fakes" by tricking latitudes to get a height effect:

3d layer

I could not find anything relevant in the document.

Google doesn't seem to know about the 3D features in the Javascript API. The closest I can understand is that it is Styled Maps, but nowhere does this indicate 3D. Only Android versions are currently available.

I did some research and found this library that will help you build 2D and 3D: https://github.com/OSMBuildings/OSMBuildings

Another option is Cesium JS:
