ArcGIS Javascript API 2.5D View with VectorTiles

Question

Greetings everyone,

I'd really love to use vector tiles in a 2.5D map view. It looks like you are not able to use vector tiles in SceneView. Is there a way to view vector tiles in SceneView or is there another way to load vector tiles into a view to give a sense of perspective? Are vector tiles only for 2D viewing?
Thanks, Tyler

Hi there,

Yes you can add and use VectorTileLayer in SceneView as long as the layer meets the following requirements:

1. VectorTileLayer's spatialReference must match the SceneView's spatialReference.

2. VectorTileLayer's tiling scheme has to match ArcGIS online tiling scheme.

3. VectorTileLayer's tile size has to be 512x512.

Here is a simple app that uses VectorTileLayer that meets all requirements mentioned above.

Hope this helps,
