Load a Scene from the Portal

Question

Hi guys, I'm trying to load and show a Scene that I created on my Online Portal. I am currently able to load WebMaps using the WebMapViewModel class, but I can't find any way to load a Scene from the Portal directly ? Is there any way to do this ? Do I have to take the layers and add them to a local Scene manually ?

Thanks !

I think that WebMap is working with a Map (2d) and not with a Scene (3d). Also note that when you are working with 3d data, you need to use SceneView (with a Scene).

You should have two options here:

1) Create SceneView and Scene manually in code

2) Build your own deserialization from JSON that is returned from ArcGIS Portal Item and construct the Scene from that.

Hey guys, it's me again.

After messing around a bit I found out that Web Scenes can be loaded through the WebMap.LoadFromPortalAsync method. But anytime I have a 3D layer on the Scene, I would receive an exception in that method concerning a "simpleRenderer" JSON deserialization issue. Does anyone have this issue or is there a fix/workaround to show 3D layers on the MapControl ?

Thank you for your answers
