Native Support for ParquetLayer in 3D SceneView

While the introduction of the ParquetLayer has greatly optimized client-side streaming of columnar spatial data, its utilization is constrained strictly to 2D MapView environments. Attempting to mount a valid, OGC-compliant GeoParquet dataset into a 3D SceneView breaks the application lifecycle, throwing the following error in the console:

“Failed to create layerview for layer ... of type 'parquet'”

This occurs because the SDK lacks a 3D runtime implementation capable of intercepting and compiling the incoming Well-Known Binary (WKB) spatial streams directly into the 3D WebGL/WebGPU graphics pipeline.

Please implementation of a native 3D rendering pipeline (ParquetLayerView3D) for the ParquetLayer within the ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript (5.x+). This enhancement will unlock the ability to stream cloud-native GeoParquet datasets directly inside a 3D SceneView.

Thanks for the feedback. While ParquetLayer is currently limited to 2D MapView, we're actively working to expand Parquet support across ArcGIS, including support for 3D visualization workflows in SceneView.
 
I appreciate you raising this idea. Feedback from the community helps us better understand where there's interest and where we should continue investing as Parquet capabilities evolve.
