SimpleMarkerSymbol hidden behind Polygons

PhilippHaupt — Tue, 14 Mar 2023 12:28:42 GMT

SimpleMarkerSymbols are being set to not visible, when any Polygon (like buildings or a Polyline) is between the SimpleMarkerSymbol and the Views Camera.

Is there any way to control the visibility by hand?

The use case is the following:

I am trying to depict waypoints for a path trough a city. And I always want to show those points, even when they are behind buildings or other graphics.

Hi @PhilippHaupt

Unfortunately, this currently not possible and I cannot suggest any workaround.

It is in our backlog, though, not yet planned for a release. I'll write your use case down, thanks for sharing it!

By the way, are the buildings/polygons/polylines through what you'd like to see the symbols transparent or opaque?
