MeshSymbol3D is used to render 3D mesh features in a SceneLayer in a 3D SceneView. This symbol type is not supported in 2D MapViews.
A MeshSymbol3D must include at least one symbol layer for it to render in the view. One or more of the following symbol layer types may be used to define a 3D line symbol:
Symbol3DLayer Type | Flat/Volumetric | Size Units | Example |
---|---|---|---|
FillSymbol3DLayer | flat | - | ![]() |
The image below depicts a SceneLayer whose graphics are styled with a MeshSymbol3D containing a FillSymbol3DLayer.
See Symbol3DLayer and Symbol3D to read more general information about 3D symbols, symbol layers and how they relate to one another.
let symbol = {
type: "mesh-3d", // autocasts as new MeshSymbol3D()
symbolLayers: [{
type: "fill", // autocasts as new FillSymbol3DLayer()
material: { color: "green" }
}]
};
sceneLayer.renderer = {
type: "simple", // autocasts as new SimpleRenderer()
symbol: symbol
};

Property Details
-
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7
-
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as
esri.folder.className
.
-
styleOrigin StyleOrigin inherited
-
The origin of the style from which the symbol was originally referenced. A reference to the style origin can be either by styleName or by styleUrl (but not both). This information is part of the WebScene persistence model and may be used to understand where a symbol was originally sourced from. It does not affect actual appearance or rendering of the symbol.
-
symbolLayers Collection<FillSymbol3DLayer>autocast
-
A Collection of Symbol3DLayer objects used to visualize the graphic or feature. Individual symbol layers may be autocast as objects and specified using the
type
property.
-
type Stringreadonly
-
The symbol type.
For MeshSymbol3D the type is always "mesh-3d".

Method Details
-
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)inheritedSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 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();
ParametershandleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.
groupKey *optionalKey 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(){MeshSymbol3D}
-
Creates a deep clone of the symbol.
ReturnsType Description MeshSymbol3D A deep clone of the object that invoked this method. Example// Creates a deep clone of the graphic's symbol let symLyr = graphic.symbol.clone();
-
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.Parameterjson ObjectA 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.
ReturnsType Description * Returns a new instance of this class.
-
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25
-
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key.
ReturnsType 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(groupKey)inheritedSince: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25
-
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
ParametergroupKey *optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Exampleobj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group obj.removeHandles("handle-group"); obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");
-
Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.
ReturnsType Description Object The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
