Examples

Choose this template to create an app for use cases such as the following examples:

• Present a detailed 3D view of a mountainous region at a large scale while the 2D inset map provides an overview of where you are in the world.
• Display a detailed 3D plan for new urban development that app users can explore with slice and measurement tools.
• Allow users to visualize the impact of shadows on a scene using daylight animation.

Data requirements

The 3D Viewer app requires a web scene.

App capabilities

The following list includes some key settings and capabilities that you can configure for this app:

• 3D navigation and Compass—Allows app users to pan or rotate the scene and orient their view to north.
• Locator map—Shows an inset map with the app's map area in the context of a broader area.
• Line of sight—Visualizes whether one or multiple targets are visible from an observer point.
• Measurement tools—Provides tools to measure distance and area and find and convert coordinates.
• Slice—Excludes specific layers to change the view of a scene.
• Bookmarks—Zooms and pans the map to a collection of preset extents that are saved in the scene.
• Layer list—Displays a list of layers with options to turn visibility off and on in the scene. This setting also allows opening a layer's attribute table, which includes an option for users to export records as a CSV file.
• Disable scroll—Prevents the map from zooming when app users scroll.
• Elevation profile—Generates an elevation profile graph across an input line feature that can be selected in the scene or from drawing a single or multi-segment line using the tool.
• Time—Provides a configurable time slider that animates changes in data over time.
• Cover page—Create a page that appears when users open the app and that includes information to establish your app's purpose.

All Instant Apps templates include settings for a Home button and zoom controls, a legend, and the ability to search the map or data.
