SketchEdges3D | API Reference | ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.31

SketchEdges3D is a symbol type that visualizes edges of 3D Object SceneLayers, extruded polygons or mesh geometries with a sketched line. It can be used to emphasize the form of 3D objects and to improve the three-dimensional spatial understanding. A sketched line aims to look like a hand-drawn line. In architecture this is useful for visualizing planned urban projects.

This symbol can only be set on the FillSymbol3DLayer.edges within a MeshSymbol3D or on the ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer.edges on PolygonSymbol3D.

Example

let symbol = {
  type: "mesh-3d", // autocasts as new MeshSymbol3D()
  symbolLayers: [{
    type: "fill", // autocasts as new FillSymbol3DLayer()
    material: {
      color: [244, 247, 134]
    },
    edges: {
      type: "sketch", // autocasts as new SketchEdges3D()
      color: [50, 50, 50, 0.5],
      size: 1.5,
      extensionLength: 2
    }
  }]
};

Property Details

color Inherited Property color Colorautocast Inherited from Edges3D Autocasts from Object|Number []|String

The color of the edges. This can be autocast with an array of rgb(a) values, named string, hex string or an hsl(a) string, an object with r, g, b, and a properties, or a Color object.

Default Value:"black"

declaredClass Inherited Property declaredClass Stringreadonly Inherited from Accessor

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

extensionLength Inherited Property extensionLength Numberautocast Inherited from Edges3D Autocasts from String

A size in points by which to extend edges beyond their original end points.

Default Value:"0"

size Inherited Property size Numberautocast Inherited from Edges3D Autocasts from String

The size of the edges in points. This value may be autocast with a string expressing size in points or pixels (e.g. 12px).

Default Value:1px

type Property type String

The symbol type.

For SketchEdges3D the type is always "sketch".

Return Type	Summary	Class
	Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object.	Accessor
SketchEdges3D	Creates a deep clone of the object.	SketchEdges3D
*	Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product.	Edges3D
Boolean	Returns true if a named group of handles exist.	Accessor
	Removes a group of handles owned by the object.	Accessor
Object	Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation.	Edges3D

Method Details

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(){SketchEdges3D}

Creates a deep clone of the object.

Returns

Type	Description
SketchEdges3D	A deep clone of the object that invoked this method.

fromJSON Inherited 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 Inherited 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 Inherited Method toJSON(){Object} Inherited from Edges3D

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

Returns

Type	Description
Object	The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
