Display a web scene

Before starting this tutorial:

1. You need an ArcGIS Location Platform or ArcGIS Online account.

2. Your system meets the system requirements.

Option 1: Develop the code

To start the tutorial, complete the Display a scene tutorial. This creates a scene to display an area of the Santa Monica Mountains in a scene view. You can choose to implement either API key authentication or user authentication.

Continue with the following instructions to display a scene from a web scene stored in ArcGIS.

Get the web map item ID

You can use ArcGIS tools to create and view web scenes. Use the Scene Viewer to identify the web scene item ID. This item ID will be used later in the tutorial.

1. Go to the LA Trails and Parks web scene in the Scene Viewer in ArcGIS Online. This web scene displays trails, trailheads and parks in the Santa Monica Mountains.
2. Make a note of the item ID at the end of the browser's URL. The item ID should be 579f97b2f3b94d4a8e48a5f140a6639b.

Display the web scene

1. In Xcode, in the Project Navigator, click ContentView.swift.

2. In the Editor, modify the scene closure to create a Scene for the web scene. To do this, create a PortalItem providing the web scene's item ID and a Portal referencing ArcGIS Online.

   ContentView.swift

       @State private var scene: ArcGIS.Scene = {
   
           let portalID = PortalItem.ID("579f97b2f3b94d4a8e48a5f140a6639b")!
           let portalItem = PortalItem(portal: .arcGISOnline(connection: .anonymous), id: portalID)
           return Scene(item: portalItem)
   
       }()
   

Run the solution

Press Command + R to run the app.

Your app should display the scene that you viewed earlier in the Scene Viewer. You should see a map of trails, trailheads and parks in the Santa Monica Mountains. Drag, pinch, and rotate on the scene view to explore the scene.

Option 2: Download the solution

1. Click the Download solution link under Solution and unzip the file to a location on your machine.

2. Open the .xcodeproj file in Xcode.

Since the downloaded solution does not contain authentication credentials, you must first set up authentication to create credentials, and then add the developer credentials to the solution.

Set up authentication

To access the secure ArcGIS location services used in this tutorial, you must implement API key authentication or user authentication using an ArcGIS Location Platform or an ArcGIS Online account.

Set developer credentials in the solution

To allow your app users to access ArcGIS location services, pass the developer credentials that you created in the Set up authentication step to the application's ArcGISEnvironment.

Run the solution

Press Command + R to run the app.

Your app should display the scene that you viewed earlier in the Scene Viewer. You should see a map of trails, trailheads and parks in the Santa Monica Mountains. Drag, pinch, and rotate on the scene view to explore the scene.
