Feature Z

Since version: 1.5

In the Feature Z profile, expressions can be written to calculate z values for features in a 3D scene or to define the draw order for sorting features in a 2D map view. This is useful in datasets where z information is stored in an attribute instead of the feature's geometry. You can use this profile to return the attribute in lieu of a missing z value. Expressions in this profile must return a Number representing the Z coordinate of the geometry.

Context

This profile was created for use in the following contexts:

• ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript
• ArcGIS Pro
• ArcGIS Maps SDKs for Native Apps
