Identify is a query operation that is used to interactively find feature attributes based on a point in a map. When users click or tap on an object in a 3D object scene layer, the identify operation returns the attribute set. It can be used to:

  • Display pop-ups or information panels showing feature attributes.

  • Highlight the identified feature using its MaterialReference.

  • Trigger contextual actions such as zooming or flying to the feature.

Identify layer attributes

Use IdentifyLayerAsync to run the identify query between two geographic points. The method returns an ArcGISIdentifyLayerResult, which contains the identified GeoElements and associated attributes.
