Hello all,

I would like to add military symbols on an ArcGis map in Unity 3D with the ArcGis Plugin for Esri.

The problem is that the sdk is made to add 3D objects, but a military symbol is not a 3D object.

So I would like to add svg-files to the map.

So my question is, how can I add an image to a 3D map in ArcGis Map SDK for Unity.


Thanks for your help

Hi Luis,

So first thing you posted this to the Runtime .NET board. For future reference post it here (I moved the post to the Unity board).

So what you are describing is a workflow in Unity not one specific to our SDK https://learn.unity.com/tutorial/importing-2d-assets-into-unity-2019-3#

I suggest that you do research on how to add images to the scene. You can then attach a location compnoent to these Game Objects to position them geographically and  then update the positions via a script. You can check out the feature layer sample in our Unity sample repo for an idea on how to do the later part https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-maps-sdk-unity-samples
