Ikenna, Please how do I query the building footprints without calling the services api As i do not have the data for my city. I want to be able to get the building footprints in the rendered map. I don't understand these statements at all... How do expect to do any of this if you do not have data for your city? First you have to get a specific polygon from your parcels layer. You can use a querytask for this as well if you know an attribute of the parcel you want to use. Next you use that polygon as the input geometry for your building footprint. app.qBuildings = new Query(); app.qBuildings.geometry = YOUR_BUILDING_POLYGON; app.qBuildings.outFields = ["*"]; app.qBuildings.returnGeometry = true; app.qBuildings.outSpatialReference = map.spatialRefernce; app.qtBuildings.execute(app.qBuildings, function(results){ //work with the results });‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Please how do I query the building footprints without calling the services api var basemap = new ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer("https://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/BloomfieldHillsMichigan/Parcels/MapServer"); app.map.addLayer(basemap); // query task and query for parcels app.qtParcels = new QueryTask("https://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/BloomfieldHillsMichigan/Parcels/MapServer/2"); app.qParcels = new Query(); // query task and query for landuse app.qtBuildings = new QueryTask("https://sampleserver3.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/BloomfieldHillsMichigan/Parcels/MapServer/0");‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ As i do not have the data for my city. I want to be able to get the building footprints in the rendered map. Thanks

Ikenna,

Well this is a basic Spatial Query then You need to use QueryTask and Query classes specifying the polygon that you want to find the building in as the Query.geometry.

See this sample for basic Spatial Query:
