3D multipatch examples

How to use

See How to use ArcGIS samples for help on compiling, setting up the debugger, and running the sample. If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

1. Start Visual Studio.
2. Click Debug and click Start Debugging, or compile the sample and run the created .exe file.

1. When the sample starts, you will see x-, y-, z-axes rendered in an embedded SceneControl and buttons on the right side of the form.
2. Click a button on the right side of the Windows form's user interface (UI) to render the selected example in the embedded SceneControl with the x-, y-, z-axes (left in place to clarify where the multipatch is positioned in 3D space). The geometry is rendered with a solid fill color and the outline that makes up the multipatch geometry is rendered for illustrative purposes.
3. The header for the sections of buttons indicates the type of geometry that is rendered, and each of the numbered buttons corresponds to a different example of that type of geometry. For example, clicking the 1 button on the Composite section shows two cylinders and two pyramids. Clicking the 3 button on the Composite section results in the house shown in the following illustration. Each click clears the screen allowing the recently clicked item to appear.
4. To rotate the displayed multipatch, click and drag the SceneControl. Move left and right to move around in the same horizontal plane, and move the mouse pointer up and down to rotate vertically.
5. To zoom out, right-click and hold down the mouse button while moving the mouse pointer away from you.
6. To zoom in, right-click and hold down the mouse button while moving the mouse pointer towards you. See the following illustration:
