ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer

AMD: require(["esri/symbols/ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer"], (ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer) => { /* code goes here */ });
ESM: import ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer from "@arcgis/core/symbols/ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer.js";
Class: esri/symbols/ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer
Inheritance: ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer Symbol3DLayer Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0

ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer is used to render Polygon geometries by extruding them upward from the ground, creating a 3D volumetric object. This is done with a PolygonSymbol3D in a SceneView. MapView does not support 3D symbols.

The color of the symbol is set in the material property. The height of the extrusion is always defined in meters with the size property. Extrusion height and color can also be data-driven by adding size and/or color visual variables to any Renderer that uses this symbol layer.

An ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer must be added to the symbolLayers property of a PolygonSymbol3D. Multiple symbol layers may be used in a single symbol. The image below depicts a polygon FeatureLayer representing building footprints. The features are symbolized with a PolygonSymbol3D containing an ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer. The extrusion is based on the height of buildings.

Example
let symbol = {

    size: 100000,  // 100,000 meters in height
    material: { color: "red" }

Property Details

castShadows

Property
castShadows Boolean
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.11 ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer since 4.0, castShadows added at 4.11.

Indicates whether the symbol layer geometry casts shadows in the scene. Setting this property to false will disable shadows for the symbol layer even if direct shadows are enabled in SceneView.environment.

Default Value:true
Example
// disables shadow casting
symbolLayer.castShadows = false;

declaredClass

Inherited
Property
declaredClass Stringreadonly
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.

The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.

edges

Property
edges Edges3Dautocast
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer since 4.0, edges added at 4.7.

Sets the contour edges on polygons symbolized with ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer.

Example
let symbol = {
  type: "polygon-3d", // autocasts as new PolygonSymbol3D()
  symbolLayers: [{
    type: "extrude", // autocasts as new ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer()
    material: {
      color: [244, 247, 134]
    },
    edges: {
      type: "solid", // autocasts as new SolidEdges3D()
      color: [50, 50, 50, 0.5]
    }
  }]
};

material

Property
material Objectautocast

The material used to shade the extrusion. This property defines the extrusion's color.

Property
optional
Autocasts from Object|Number[]|String

The fill color of the extrusion. This can be autocast with an array of rgb(a) values, named string, hex string or an hsl(a) string, an object with r, g, b, and a properties, or a Color object.

Examples
// CSS color string
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: "dodgerblue"
};
// HEX string
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: "#33cc33";
}
// array of RGBA values
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: [51, 204, 51, 0.3];
}
// object with rgba properties
symbolLayer.material = {
  color: {
    r: 51,
    g: 51,
    b: 204,
    a: 0.7
  }
};

size

Property
size Number

The height of the extrusion in meters. Negative values will extrude the polygon surface downward towards or below the ground.

Default Value:1
Example
// polygon is extruded 50,000 meters
symbolLayer.size = 50000;

type

Property
type Stringreadonly

The symbol type.

For ExtrudeSymbol3DLayer the type is always "extrude".

Method
addHandles(handleOrHandles, groupKey)
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, addHandles added at 4.25.

Adds one or more handles which are to be tied to the lifecycle of the object. The handles will be removed when the object is destroyed.

// Manually manage handles
const handle = reactiveUtils.when(
  () => !view.updating,
  () => {
    wkidSelect.disabled = false;

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
