Custom Elevation Layer with Exaggeration

[Wade]

This example is for all elevations

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/sample-code/layers-custom-elevation-exaggerated/

If i want to a range  elevations make changes, Is there a way?

[JohnGrayson]

Here's a modified version of the example that shows how to control which elevation values get exaggerated:

Thank you.

This example is for Elevation data values, Can use Elevation extent?

if((data.values[i] >= onlyExagerateElevationRange.min) && (data.values[i] <= onlyExagerateElevationRange.max)){
      data.values[i] = data.values[i] * exaggeration;
}

One possible way to do this is to use a local viewing mode and set the clip area as needed.  I updated the codepen example to show this concept.

I build localArea, SceneView can use, and ExaggeratedElevationLayer load fullExtent use clippingArea.

Want to present Depth effect, Seems inappropriate.

const localArea = new Extent({
            spatialReference: { wkid: 3857 },
            xmin: -2.0037507842788246E7,
            ymin: -2.0037508659999996E7,
            xmax: 2.0037507842788246E7,
            ymax: 2.0037508340000004E7
});

this.addResolvingPromise(
              this._elevation.load().then(() => {
                     this.tileInfo = this._elevation.tileInfo;
                     this.spatialReference = this._elevation.spatialReference;
                     this.fullExtent = clippingArea;
               })
);

So you want to have two different exaggerations in the same display?  I don't think that using a clippingArea or setting the fullExtent will not work for that use case.  You'd have to modify the elevation values in such a way where you provide a smooth elevation transition at the edges of the overall extent of your area of interest.  Another possibility is to publish a new Elevation Layer that already has the elevation values exaggerated and smoothed at the edges to ensure a good visual transition between your area of interest and the rest of the display.

I want to have different exaggerations in the same display,It's like being able to freely choose the area to be changed.

Thank you for your advice, I will try.

I want to dig a hole at elevation layer, Can only be created with BaseElevationLayer way ? 

These problems are due to the display of objects underground.

[JohnGrayson · Accepted solution]

Creating a custom elevation services specific to your needs is one option.  If you'd like to use the BaseElevationLayer then you have full control of the extent of the layer and the elevation values used.  I updated the codepen to show how you could use a constant elevation, an elevation offset, or an exaggerated elevation value.  https://codepen.io/john-grayson/pen/YzxXKLO

I hope this helps.

Thank you very much for your help.
