Property Details

analysis

Property
analysis SliceAnalysisautocastreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.23 SliceViewModel since 4.10, analysis added at 4.23.

The slice analysis object being created or modified by the view model.

This property can be set during view model construction, to provide an existing analysis to the view model for modification. Properties on the analysis can also be updated once it's assigned to the view model.

If no analysis is provided during view model construction, the view model automatically creates its own analysis and adds it to the view. In this case, the analysis will also be automatically removed from the view when the view model is destroyed.

Example
// Construct a slice analysis object outside of the view model
const analysis = new SliceAnalysis({
  shape: {
    type: "plane", // autocasts as new SlicePlane()
    position: {
      type: "point",
      x: -0.1,
      y: 51.5
    },
    width: 50,
    height: 50,
    tilt: 45
  },
  tiltEnabled: true
});

// Ensure that the analysis is added to the view
view.analyses.add(analysis);

// Frame the analysis in the view
view.goTo(analysis.extent);

// Pass the analysis object as a constructor parameter to modify it using the view model
const viewModel = new SliceViewModel({
  analysis: analysis,
  view: view
});

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor

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

excludedLayers

Property
excludedLayers Collection<(Layer|BuildingComponentSublayer)>

Add layers to this collection to exclude them from the slice. Layers that are draped on the ground surface are not affected by this property

excludeGroundSurface

Property
excludeGroundSurface Boolean

Indicates whether the Ground and layers that are draped on the ground surface are excluded from the slice.

Default Value:false

shape

Property
shape SlicePlaneautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 SliceViewModel since 4.10, shape added at 4.16.

The shape used to slice elements in a 3D scene. Currently the only supported shape is a plane.

Example
// Clone the shape to modify its properties
const shape = viewModel.shape.clone();

// Set new values for heading and tilt
shape.heading = 180;
shape.tilt = 45;

// Set the new properties on the viewModel's shape
viewModel.shape = shape;

state

Property
state Stringreadonly

The view model's state.

Value Description
disabled not ready yet
ready ready for slicing
slicing currently slicing
sliced finished slicing

Possible Values:"disabled"|"ready"|"slicing"|"sliced"

Default Value:disabled

tiltEnabled

Property
tiltEnabled Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.16 SliceViewModel since 4.10, tiltEnabled added at 4.16.

Enable tilting the slice shape. If set to true, the slice shape will orient itself as best as possible to the surface under the cursor when first placing the shape. If set to false, the slice shape is restricted to be either horizontal or vertical.

Default Value:false

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

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

clear

Method
clear()
