Symbol3DLayer

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

Symbol layers are used to define the visualization of Point, Polyline, Polygon, and mesh geometries rendered with 3D symbols. 3D symbols may only be used to render features in a FeatureLayer, SceneLayer, or standalone graphics in a 3D SceneView. There is no support for 3D symbols in 2D MapViews.

All 3D symbols have a symbolLayers property, which is an array of Symbol3DLayer objects. All symbols must have at least one symbol layer added to the symbolLayers property. Think of the symbol object as a container that holds multiple symbol layers which define the appearance of the symbol. One layer may be an outline, another the fill, etc. The relationship of symbol layers to symbol is similar to the relationship of operational layers to a Map.

Each symbol layer type may only be applied to certain Symbol3D and Geometry types. See the table below to learn more about when to use each type of symbol layer.

The size of flat symbol layers is usually defined in either points or pixels (screen space) whereas the size of volumetric symbol layers is defined in meters (real-world space).

addHandles

Inherited
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;
  },
  { once: true }
);

this.addHandles(handle);

// Destroy the object
this.destroy();
Parameters
handleOrHandles WatchHandle|WatchHandle[]

Handles marked for removal once the object is destroyed.

groupKey *
optional

Key identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.

fromJSON

Method
fromJSON(json){*}static

Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.

Parameter
json Object

A JSON representation of the instance in the ArcGIS format. See the ArcGIS REST API documentation for examples of the structure of various input JSON objects.

Returns
Type Description
* Returns a new instance of this class.

hasHandles

Inherited
Method
hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Inherited from Accessor
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.

Returns true if a named group of handles exist.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key.

Returns
Type Description
Boolean Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
  obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
}

removeHandles

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

Removes a group of handles owned by the object.

Parameter
groupKey *
optional

A group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.

Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group

obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group");

toJSON

Method
toJSON(){Object}

Converts an instance of this class to its ArcGIS portal JSON representation. See the Using fromJSON() guide topic for more information.

Returns
Type Description
Object The ArcGIS portal JSON representation of an instance of this class.
