    Detailed Description

    Scene layers display content from a scene service or a scene package.

    ArcGISSceneLayer optimized to displaying large amounts of data in a SceneView. It can display data published as scene services, scene layer packages (.slpk), and scene layers in mobile scene packages (.mspk).

    ArcGISSceneLayer supports:

    • 3D Object (e.g. buildings)
    • Integrated mesh (e.g. buildings, trees, and elevation) (see IntegratedMeshLayer)
    • Point features (e.g. trees)

    The scene layer complies with the Indexed 3D Scene layer (I3S) format. It is an open 3D content delivery format used to disseminate 3D GIS data to mobile, web, and desktop clients.

    Functional characteristics

    • 3D object — 3D object scene layers contain objects explicitly modeled in three dimensions and are used to represent objects such as buildings. These features have attributes and can be identified. See the 3D Object Scene Layer for more information.
    • Integrated mesh — 3D mesh data is typically captured by an automated process for constructing 3D objects out of large sets of overlapping imagery. The result integrates the original input image information as a textured mesh including 3D objects, such as buildings and trees, and elevation information. Integrated mesh scene layers are often created for citywide 3D mapping. They can represent something as small as a single building or as large as a city or state. They are often assembled automatically from imagery collected by a drone; they cannot be restyled because there is no underlying feature data. See the Integrated Mesh Scene Layer for more information.
    • Point features — To ensure fast visualization, cached scene layers are used to display large amounts of 3D point data about individual features, such as all the trees in a city. Point scene layers have features that can be identified and that have attributes that may be cached or available from an associated feature layer. The display of point scene layers is automatically thinned to improve performance and visibility at smaller scales and longer distances. Automatic thinning means that not all features are displayed at small scales; as you zoom in, additional features are displayed. See the Point scene layer for more information.

    Point scene layers are generated from point feature layers. Point scene layers can be generated by ArcGIS Pro and hosted as a scene service or scene layer package.

    Note: When publishing a scene from ArcGIS Pro (sharing as a web scene) any point feature layers in the 3D Layers section of the contents pane will be published as a scene service. The scene service will be referenced within the web scene.

    Performance characteristics

    For a scene layer, the rendering of 3D data is based on the current level of detail (LOD), which is determined by the distance from the camera. Each object in a 3D object service is represented differently at various LODs determined by the camera distance. As the camera distance changes in the scene, objects will be displayed appropriately for the current LOD. This results in good client performance and low memory usage, at the expense of frequently loading and unloading objects.

    Member Function Documentation

    [explicit] ArcGISSceneLayer::ArcGISSceneLayer(const QUrl &url, QObject *parent = nullptr)

    Creates an ArcGIS scene layer from the specified URL.

    • url - The URL of an ArcGIS scene service, an ArcGIS scene service portal item, or a scene layer package (.slpk) file.
    • parent - The optional parent QObject.

    If the specified URL is a portal item URL (see PortalItem::PortalItem for the supported URL formats), the underlying PortalItem will be created and accessible through Layer::item.

    See also PortalItem, PortalItem::PortalItem(const QUrl&, QObject*), and Layer::item.

    ArcGISSceneLayer::ArcGISSceneLayer(const QUrl &url, Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Credential *credential, QObject *parent = nullptr)

    Creates an ArcGIS scene layer from the specified URL with a credential.

    • url - The URL of an ArcGIS scene service, an ArcGIS scene service portal item, or a scene layer package (.slpk) file.
    • credential - The credential used to access the remote resource.
    • parent - The optional parent QObject.

    If the specified URL is a portal item URL (see PortalItem::PortalItem for the supported URL formats), the underlying PortalItem will be created and accessible through Layer::item.

    The credential is applied if the provided URL is to a secured service or portal item.

    [explicit] ArcGISSceneLayer::ArcGISSceneLayer(Esri::ArcGISRuntime::Item *item, QObject *parent = nullptr)

    Constructor that creates a scene layer object with a portal item.

    • item - The scene layer item (only PortalItem are supported).
    • parent - The optional parent QObject.

    The item's type should be PortalItemType::SceneService.

    See also PortalItem, PortalItem::PortalItem(const QUrl&, QObject*), and Layer::item.

    [override virtual] ArcGISSceneLayer::~ArcGISSceneLayer()

    Destructor.

    [since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.6] double ArcGISSceneLayer::altitudeOffset() const

    Returns the layer altitude offset.

    This raises or lowers all features in the scene layer by the given offset.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.6.

    See also setAltitudeOffset().

    [override virtual, since Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.10] QString ArcGISSceneLayer::apiKey() const

    Reimplements: ApiKeyResource::apiKey() const.

    Returns the API key allows your app to access ArcGIS location services and private portal items.

    An API key is a unique long-lived access token that is used to authenticate and monitor requests to ArcGIS location services and private portal items. You can create and manage an API key using your portal when you sign in with an ArcGIS Location Platform account or an ArcGIS Online account with administrator access or a custom role that has the `Generate API keys` privilege. To learn how to create and manage API keys, go to the Create an API Key tutorial. You must ensure that your API key has the correct privileges to access secure resources.

    Note: An API key created with a referrer is not supported. If you need service requests to include the referrer, use the SDK's functionality to intercept the request and add an HTTP referer header.

    In addition to setting an ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment::apiKey at a global level for your application, you can set it on any class that implements ApiKeyResource. This overrides the ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment::apiKey and enables more granular usage telemetry and management of ArcGIS location resources used by your app.

    Classes that expose an API key property by implementing ApiKeyResource include:

    For more information, see API key authentication and Types of authentication.

    This function was introduced in Esri::ArcGISRuntime 100.10.
