I am following the example to add a point to a 3D map found here;

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/beta/sample-code/3d/add-graphics/

... and the example works great for adding a point graphic to the map in London.

But I cannot change the location of the graphic that gets added. For example, I need to change the point to appear in Minnesota USA,  not London.  So I change the XY in the example from London to US like this:

var point = new Point({ x: -94.15011, y: 45.55305, z: 1500 }),

... but the point will not appear on the 3D map. It appears on the 2D map in the right spot. The problem appears to be the Z value. The only value that seems to work is 30000, and that puts the point up in the upper atmosphere. No other value for Z will display the point.

Can anyone help me understand where I am going wrong?  It must be simple I am sure!

Thank you!!

This seems to work correctly

your example link works for me.

Also if I save your example to an .HTML file and host on my own web server it works - so long as I view the page in IE or Firefox.  But in Chrome the point does not appear.  Any ideas why that would not work for chrome?

to clarify, your example does not work for me in chrome but does work in IE.  In IE I see the line and the point, but in chrome I only see the line. The point is missing.

I'm seeing the same issue. It works in IE (11.0.9600) and Firefox (40.0.2), but not Chrome (44.0.2403.155)
