Configure point cloud display limit

StephenWitherden — Sun, 07 Aug 2022 03:53:36 GMT

Hi, all, I am using ArcGIS JS version 4.23 and exploring with the SceneView, specifically point cloud layers.

I have observed that the web viewer appears to be culling points down to some maximum (I am assuming 1,000,000). Is there a configuration or setting I can use to increase this upper limit for ArcGIS JS?

Any thoughts would be welcome!

I was excited to discover this
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-views-SceneView.html#qualityProfile

I have set this to "high" and the render quality is more crisp, but I suspect the total number of points is still being capped.

Hi @StephenWitherden

Because of the browsers' memory limitations, the maximum number of points is limited to 4 million (in the high-quality mode). Unfortunately, it is not adjustable at the moment.

Out of curiosity, how much bigger are the layers you work with?
