Building Filter

Allows users to toggle the visibility of different levels, construction phases, disciplines, and categories within a building scene layer. This sample demonstrates how to explore building scene layers and filter based on various criteria.

How to use the sample (SampleViewer)

1. The SampleViewer scene should open by default. If it is not open, click the SampleViewer scene to open it.
2. Click play.
3. Using the UI, enter an APIKey in the input field to the top left.
4. Open the Samples drop-down and click Building Filter to open the level.
5. Use the UI to toggle visibility of different levels, construction phases, disciplines, and categories.

How to use the sample (BuildingFilter Scene)

1. Open the BuildingFilter Level:
   • Navigate to the BuildingFilter level in your project and open it.
2. Set the API Key:
   • In the outliner, locate and select the ArcGISMapActor.
   • In the Details panel, find the field for the API key and enter your API key.
3. Start the Simulation:
   • Click the play button to start the simulation.
4. Interact with the UI:
   • Service URL:
     • There is a space in the UI where you can add a service URL for a building scene layer. Enter the URL to load a specific building scene layer. You can also use a local file path for the URL.
   • Building Scene Levels:
     • Use the provided controls to adjust the building scene levels. This allows you to focus on specific levels of the building.
   • Construction Phases:
     • Use the slider to adjust the construction phases of the building scene layer. Slide it to view different stages of the construction process.
   • Disciplines and Categories:
     • The UI provides a list of disciplines and categories. You can:
       • Set the visibility of specific disciplines or categories by toggling them on or off.
       • Enable or disable all disciplines or categories at once using the provided options.

How it works

1. Create an ArcGISMap actor with a building scene layer.
2. Create a default building filter to apply different where clauses.
3. Create an actor with a C++ script to filter different criteria.
4. The GetSubLayers function is used to fetch a collection of the building scene layer's sublayers.
5. The GetSolidFilterDefinition function is used to get the filter definition of the default filter.
6. The SetWhereClause function is used to set a dynamically created where clause based on filter criteria.
7. The SetActiveBuildingAttributeFilter function is used to set the default filter with the new where clause to active.
