How to add bounding box (W, E, S, N) dataset as feature layer in SceneView

KrishnakanthYachareni — Sat, 04 Sep 2021 06:30:56 GMT

Hi,
I'm a complete beginner to the Esri API and I have a dataset that doesn't have coordinates, instead, it has the following bounding points. I'd like to imports that dataset as a feature layer in the base map. I see Extent (https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-geometry-Extent.html) not seems appropriate for my requirement. Could anyone help here?

BoundingBox {
WestBLongitude: -120.355
EastBLongitude: -120.355
SouthBLatitude: 10.301
NorthBLatitude: 10.301869
}

Is there any way that we can build a feature layer without having coordinates but just with bounding values?

@KrishnakanthYachareni , for 2D features, you can use Minimum Bounding Geometry

for 3D volume boxes, use Minimum Bounding Volume

Thanks for the response but to draw the above suggestions required an array of points like building a polygon, but I don't have points in dataset.

@KrishnakanthYachareni sorry, can you explai in more detail what you have?

If you want to make a rectangle from bounding coordinates then surely you just build a geometry from those:

Pont1 = xMin, yMin

Point2 = xMin, yMax

Point3 = xMax, yMax

Point 4 = xMax, yMin
