LineSymbol3D is used to render features with Polyline geometry in a 3D SceneView. This symbol type is not supported in 2D MapViews.

A LineSymbol3D must include at least one symbol layer for it to render in the view. One or more of the following symbol layer types must be used to define a 3D line symbol:

Symbol3DLayer TypeFlat/VolumetricSize UnitsExample
LineSymbol3DLayerflatpointss3d-line
PathSymbol3DLayervolumetricmeterss3d-path

See Symbol3DLayer and Symbol3D to read more general information about 3D symbols, symbol layers and how they relate to one another.

let symbol = {
type: "line-3d", // autocasts as new LineSymbol3D()
symbolLayers: [{
type: "path", // autocasts as new PathSymbol3DLayer()
profile: "circle",
width: 10, // width of the tube in meters
material: { color: [ 128,128,128 ] }

Properties

Any properties can be set, retrieved or listened to. See the Watch for changes topic.

color

inherited Property
Type
Color | null
Inherited from: Symbol3D

3D symbols do not support colors on the symbol level. Colors may be set on individual symbol layer materials instead. Setting the color property on a 3D symbol will not have any effect. The color property is present for consistency with other symbol types.

Examples
// CSS color string
symbol.color = "dodgerblue";
// HEX string
symbol.color = "#33cc33";
// array of RGBA values
symbol.color = [51, 204, 51, 0.3];
// object with rgba properties
symbol.color = {
r: 51,
g: 51,
b: 204,
a: 0.7
};

declaredClass

readonlyinherited Property
Type
string
Inherited from: Accessor
Since
ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7

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

styleOrigin

autocast inherited Property
Type
StyleOrigin | null | undefined
Inherited from: Symbol3D

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

autocast Property
Type
Collection<LineSymbol3DSupportedSymbolLayerTypes>

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

readonly Property
Type
"line-3d"

The symbol type.

fromJSON

inheritedstatic Method
Signature
fromJSON (json: any): any
Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

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.

Parameters
ParameterTypeDescriptionRequired
json
any

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
any

Returns a new instance of this class.

clone

Method
Signature
clone (): LineSymbol3D

Creates a deep clone of the symbol.

Returns
LineSymbol3D

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();

toJSON

inherited Method
Signature
toJSON (): any
Inherited from: JSONSupportMixin

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

Returns
any

The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
