Display an ArcGIS scene layer from a URL.
      
  
    
Use case
Adding a scene layer from a URL allows you to author the scene layer elsewhere in the platform, say with ArcGIS Pro or CityEngine, and then add that scene layer to a scene in Runtime. Loading a scene layer from a URL also permits the layer source to change dynamically without updating the code.
How to use the sample
Pan and zoom to explore the scene.
How it works
- Create an 
ArcGISSceneLayerpassing in the URL to a scene layer service. - Wait for the user to tap with the 
sceneView.GeoViewTappedevent and get the tapped screen point. - Call 
sceneView.IdentifyLayersAsync(sceneLayer, screenPoint, tolerance, false, 1)to identify features in the scene. - From the resulting 
IdentifyLayerResult, get the list of identifiedGeoElementswithresult.GeoElements. - Get the first element in the list, checking that it is a feature, and call 
sceneLayer.SelectFeature(feature)to select it.
