ViewshedAnalysis enables the creation and display of viewshed and view dome type of visibility analysis in a 3D SceneView.

The analysis can contain multiple viewsheds. These can be created interactively or programmatically, and the analysis can be added directly to SceneView.analyses or to the ViewshedLayer.source in a SceneView.map.

 const viewshed = new Viewshed({
   observer: {
     spatialReference: {
       latestWkid: 3857,
       wkid: 102100
     },
     x: -9754426,
     y: 5143111,
     z: 330
   },
   farDistance: 900,
   heading: 64,
   tilt: 84,
   horizontalFieldOfView: 85,
   verticalFieldOfView: 52
 });
 const viewshedAnalysis = new ViewshedAnalysis({
   viewsheds: [viewshed],
 });

 view.analyses.add(viewshedAnalysis);

To start adding viewsheds interactively to the analysis, use the ViewshedAnalysisView.createViewsheds() method.

view.whenAnalysisView(viewshedAnalysis).then((viewshedAnalysisView) => {
  viewshedAnalysisView.createViewsheds();
});

ViewshedAnalysis can be persisted in a WebScene as part of a ViewshedLayer.

Known Limitations

  • ViewshedAnalysis is only supported in a 3D SceneView.
