How to create a FeatureLayer for 3D maps?

VincentLantaca1 — Sat, 11 Dec 2021 23:47:07 GMT

Hello,

I am trying to create my own FeatureLayer and render points with 3D symbols. I am trying to use the sample code Thematic visualization with realistic 3D symbols as an example.

When I try to make a new FeatureLayer from a graphics array, however, I am getting an error:

dojo.js:249 [esri.core.Accessor] Accessor#set Invalid property value, value needs to be one of 'esri.geometry.Extent', 'esri.geometry.Multipoint', 'esri.geometry.Point', 'esri.geometry.Polyline', 'esri.geometry.Polygon', 'esri.geometry.Mesh', or a plain object that can auto-cast (having .type = 'extent', 'multipoint', 'point', 'polyline', 'polygon', 'mesh')

I'm just trying to see if I can add a WebStyleSymbol at the center of the view. As far as I can tell, the error comes when I call newflayer.source.add(). I am declaring a Point object, but I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advanced

You have a problem with agreement between the require modules and function arguments. It should look like this

      require([
            "esri/Map",
            "esri/views/SceneView",
            "esri/layers/FeatureLayer",
            "esri/geometry/Point",
            "esri/widgets/Legend",
            "dojo/domReady!"
         ],
         function(
            Map, SceneView, FeatureLayer, Point, Legend
         ) {‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍
