Properties

Property	Details
activeFilterId	specifies the id of the currently active filter
customParameters	A sequence of custom parameters appended to the URL of all requests related to a layer.
filters[]	A list of filters available for this layer. Overrides filters defined on the service.
id	A unique identifying string for the layer.
itemId	Optional string containing the item ID of the service if it's registered on ArcGIS Online or your organization's portal.
layerDefinition	Additional properties that can define an elevation offset for the layer. See layerDefinition properties table.
layerType	String indicating the layer type. Valid value of this property BuildingSceneLayer
listMode	To show or hide the sublayer in the layer list. If the layer has sublayers, selecting hide-children will hide them in the layer list. Valid values: hide hide-children show
opacity	The degree of transparency applied to the layer on the client side, where 0 is full transparency and 1 is no transparency.
showLegend	Boolean value indicating whether to display the layer in the legend. Default value is true.
sublayers[]	An array of objects specifying overrides for building scene layer sublayers
title	A user-friendly string title for the layer that can be used in a table of contents.
url	The URL to the service.
visibility	Boolean property determining whether the layer is initially visible in the web scene

layerDefinition properties

Property	Details
elevationInfo	Elevation info defines how features are aligned to ground or other layers.
maxScale	Represents the maximum scale (most zoomed in) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the web scene is zoomed in beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means the layer does not have a maximum scale. If set, the maxScale value should always be smaller than the minScale value, and greater than or equal to the service specification.
minScale	Represents the minimum scale (most zoomed out) at which the layer is visible in the view. If the web scene is zoomed out beyond this scale, the layer will not be visible. A value of 0 means the layer does not have a minimum scale. If set, the minScale value should always be larger than the maxScale value, and lesser than or equal to the service specification.
