Support for the web scene specification

The ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET provides partial read support for the Esri web scene specification. This page describes support for web scenes and associates web scene features with classes.

This release does not support persistence (write, edit, save, or upload) of web scenes.

Scenes

Basic features of global scenes, including basemaps, ground surfaces, operational layers, initial viewpoints, tables, and spatial references are supported. Local scenes, environment (lighting) settings, app metadata, presentation slides, clipping, range info, or vertical coordinate systems are not supported.

Web scene fieldSupported type
baseMap (except id and transparency)Scene.Basemap
groundScene.BaseSurface
initialState.viewpointScene.InitialViewpoint
operationalLayersScene.OperationalLayers
spatialReferenceScene.SpatialReference
tablesScene.Tables

Scenes with the following values are supported:

  • version - 1.10.0 or greater
  • viewingMode - global

Layers

A subset of the web scenes layers are supported. The following table associates web scene layers with these layer types.
