Scene symbols

Show various kinds of 3D symbols in a scene.

Use case

You can programmatically create different types of 3D symbols and add them to a scene at specified locations. You could do this to call attention to the prominence of a location.

How to use the sample

When the scene loads, note the different types of 3D symbols that you can create.

How it works

1. Create a GraphicsOverlay.
2. Create various simple marker scene symbols by specifying different styles and colors, and a height, width, depth, and anchor position of each.
3. Create a Graphic for each symbol.
4. Add the graphics to the graphics overlay.
5. Add the graphics overlay to the SceneView.
