This is a non-commercial, demo application made at the Esri R&D Center Zurich for building exploration in Manhattan. It is built on top of ArcGIS API for JavaScript and allows users to explore some of the highest buildings in Manhattan in 3D.
- Data driven visualization of buildings in Manhattan
- Highlighting of selected buildings
- Display information from different sources for selected building.
- Different visualization options for point features: callout lines, relative to scene elevation mode, decluttering.
- Fork and then clone the repo.
- Run and try the samples.
- Notepad or your favorite HTML editor
- Web browser with access to the Internet
