ViewingMode Property (MapView)

In This Topic

Gets the perspective of the view.

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)
C#

Public ReadOnly Property ViewingMode As MapViewingMode

public MapViewingMode ViewingMode {get;}

Remarks

This property is used to determine whether the view is displaying a 2D map or 3D scene. A map view can be used to show maps which display 2D data or scenes which display 3D data. For a 3D view SceneLocal and SceneGlobal are valid view modes for the scene.

Example

Test if the view is 3D

{
  //Determine whether the viewing mode is SceneLocal or SceneGlobal
  var result = mapView.ViewingMode == MapViewingMode.SceneLocal ||
               mapView.ViewingMode == MapViewingMode.SceneGlobal;

  // Use the result variable as needed
}

Check if a Voxel Layer can be created

{
  //Map must be a local scene
  bool canCreateVoxel = (MapView.Active.ViewingMode == MapViewingMode.SceneLocal);

  if (canCreateVoxel)
  {
    //TODO - use the voxel api methods
  }
}

Requirements

Target Platforms: Windows 11 Home, Pro, Enterprise (64 bit)

ArcGIS Pro version: 3.0 or higher.
