SceneModification

AMD: require(["esri/layers/support/SceneModification"], (SceneModification) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import SceneModification from "@arcgis/core/layers/support/SceneModification.js";
Class: esri/layers/support/SceneModification
Inheritance: SceneModification Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16

The SceneModification is used to perform a client-side geometric modifications. Clip, mask and replace are supported modification types. A collection of scene modifications could be applied with SceneModifications to the modifications for IntegratedMeshLayer property.

The modifications for IntegratedMeshLayer need to be in the same spatial reference as the IntegratedMeshLayer. Reprojection between WGS84 and WebMercator will be done automatically. Reprojection of the geometry to other spatial references can be done with the client-side projection engine.

Illustration Modification Description
modification-type-clip clip - removes selected area Clip-out portions of the integrated mesh to see features below. For example, utility work on gas or water lines in an area. Planners can create a scene in which the integrated mesh is clipped out at a site to expose the water or gas lines below it.
modification-type-mask mask - displays only selected area Define an area of interest. Use a polygon and draw only parts of the integrated mesh inside that polygon. For example, if you want to show only a portion of an integrated mesh within the boundaries of a city.
modification-type-replace replace - flattens selected area Replace an area of an integrated mesh based on a 3D polygon. For example, to add constructed buildings, flatten the integrated mesh at the footprint of a building so the new building can be visualized. Create different scenarios of the new construction area and share the scenarios as a web scene to discuss with stakeholders. The integrated mesh flattens to the minimum z-vertex of the modification polygon.

Possible Values:"clip"|"mask"|"replace"

addHandles

Inherited
Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

clone

Method
clone(){SceneModification}

Creates a clone of this object.

Returns
Type Description
SceneModification A clone of the SceneModification instance that invoked this method.

fromJSON

Method
fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter
json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
Type Description
* Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles

Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles

Inherited
Method
removeHandles(groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

toJSON

Method
toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.
