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
- Create a
GraphicsOverlay
. - Create a
SimpleMarkerSceneSymbol
by specifying the size and color. - Create a
Graphic
using the symbol and aPoint
geometry. - Add the graphics to the graphicsOverlay.
- Add the graphicsOverlay to the sceneView.
Relevant API
- SceneSymbol.anchorPosition
- SimpleMarkerSceneSymbol
- SimpleMarkerSceneSymbol.style
About the data
This sample shows arbitrary symbols in an empty scene with imagery basemap.
