BuildingComponentSublayer | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

BuildingComponentSublayers contain 3D Object features representing building components like doors, pipes or AC units. They are sublayers in a BuildingSceneLayer either directly or as part of a BuildingGroupSublayer. This sublayer is similar to a 3D Object SceneLayer, it can be visualized with a specific renderer, popups can be customized using popupTemplate and SQL filters can be applied by setting a definitionExpression.

Starting with version 4.17, BuildingComponentSublayers support attribute or spatial queries if the the BuildingSceneLayer has an associated feature layer.

Property Details

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

definitionExpression Property definitionExpression String

The SQL where clause used to filter features on the client. Only the features that satisfy the definition expression are displayed in the View. Setting a definition expression is useful when only a subset of the data in the layer should be displayed.

Setting the definition expression of a layer automatically updates all layer views.

If the definition expression is set after the layer has been added to the map, the view will automatically refresh itself to display the features that satisfy the new definition expression.

Note that the initial loading time of the features remains unchanged, even if they are filtered. This happens because, as opposed to Feature Layers, feature filtering is done client-side. This means that all features need to be downloaded for filter evaluation.

This property is evaluated on the client using the cached attributes and it only supports standardized SQL.

id Inherited Property id Numberreadonly Inherited from BuildingSublayer

The sublayer's layer id as defined by the Scene Service.

isEmpty Inherited Property isEmpty Booleanreadonly Inherited from BuildingSublayer

Indicates if this sublayer is empty. This property is only read from the service. Empty sublayers are not loaded for rendering and applications can choose to hide them in their UI.

listMode Property listMode String Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11 BuildingComponentSublayer since 4.10, listMode added at 4.11.

Indicates how the layer should display in the LayerList widget. The possible values are listed below.

Value	Description
show	The layer is visible in the table of contents.
hide	The layer is hidden in the table of contents.

Possible Values:"show" |"hide"

Default Value:"show"

loadError Property loadError Errorreadonly

The Error object returned if an error occurred while loading.

Default Value:null

loadStatus Property loadStatus Stringreadonly

Represents the status of a load operation.

Value	Description
not-loaded	The object's resources have not loaded.
loading	The object's resources are currently loading.
loaded	The object's resources have loaded without errors.
failed	The object's resources failed to load. See loadError for more details.

Possible Values:"not-loaded" |"loading" |"failed" |"loaded"

Default Value:"not-loaded"

loadWarnings Property loadWarnings Object[]readonly

A list of warnings which occurred while loading.

modelName Inherited Property modelName Stringreadonly Inherited from BuildingSublayer

The modelName is a standard name for each sublayer. For example the sublayer containing the doors in a building has the modelName "Doors". Use this property to retrieve sublayers in a BuildingSceneLayer.

Example

// use modelName to identify a sublayer
const doorslayer = buildingSceneLayer.allSublayers.find(function(sublayer) {
  return sublayer.modelName === "Doors";
});

opacity Inherited Property opacity Number Inherited from BuildingSublayer

Opacity of the sublayer.

Default Value:1

outFields Property outFields String[] Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.12 BuildingComponentSublayer since 4.10, outFields added at 4.12.

An array of field names from the service to include with each feature. To fetch the values from all fields in the layer, use ["*"]. Fields specified in outFields will be requested alongside with required fields for rendering.

To include fields in all sublayers, use the outFields property of the parent layer.

Default Value:null

popupEnabled Property popupEnabled Boolean

Indicates whether to display popups when features in the layer are clicked. The layer needs to have a popupTemplate to define what information should be displayed in the popup. Alternatively, a default popup template may be automatically used if Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set to true.

Default Value:true

createPopupTemplate
View

popupTemplate Property popupTemplate PopupTemplateautocast

The popup template for the sublayer. When set, the popupTemplate allows users to access attributes and display their values in the view's popup when a feature is selected using text and/or charts. See the PopupTemplate sample for an example of how PopupTemplate interacts with a FeatureLayer. Setting a PopupTemplate on this layer type is done in the same way as a FeatureLayer.

A default popup template is automatically used if no popupTemplate has been defined when Popup.defaultPopupTemplateEnabled is set to true.

createPopupTemplate
View

renderer Property renderer Rendererautocast

The renderer assigned to the sublayer. The renderer defines how to visualize each feature in the sublayer. Depending on the renderer type, features may be visualized with the same symbol, or with varying symbols based on the values of provided attribute fields or functions.

Example

// all features in the layer will be visualized with
// a blue color
sublayer.renderer = {
  type: "simple",  // autocasts as new SimpleRenderer()
  symbol: {
    type: "mesh-3d",  // autocasts as new MeshSymbol3D()
    symbolLayers: [{
      type: "fill",  // autocasts as new FillSymbol3DLayer()
      material: { color: "blue" }
    }]
  }
};

load Method load(signal){Promise}

Loads the resources referenced by this class. This method automatically executes for a View and all of the resources it references in Map if the view is constructed with a map instance.

This method must be called by the developer when accessing a resource that will not be loaded in a View.

The load() method only triggers the loading of the resource the first time it is called. The subsequent calls return the same promise.

It's possible to provide a signal to stop being interested into a Loadable instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.

Parameter

signal AbortSignal

optional

Signal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named AbortError when an abort is signaled. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Resolves when the resources have loaded.

Executes a Query against the associated feature service and returns the 2D Extent of features that satisfy the query. At the moment the 3D Extent can be returned by using BuildingComponentSublayerView.queryExtent(), but this will return the 3D extent only for features currently in the view. The query succeeds only if the BuildingSceneLayer has an associated feature layer. If an associated feature layer is not available, then an error with the name buildingscenelayer:query-not-available is thrown. Read more about queries in the Querying section of the BuildingSceneLayer class description.

optional

The function to execute when the promise fails.

Returns

Type	Description
Promise	Returns a new promise for the result of `callback` that may be used to chain additional functions.

Example

// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
  // This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
  // This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
});
