Syntax

C#
Visual Basic (Declaration)

public enum MapViewingMode : System.Enum, System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

Public Enum MapViewingMode 
   Inherits System.Enum
   Implements System.IComparable, System.IConvertible, System.IFormattable

Members

Member	Description
Map	A 2D map.
MapStereo	A 2D map in stereo mode. Applicable if map is configured for stereo mode.
SceneGlobal	A scene (3D map) in global view mode.
SceneLocal	A scene (3D map) in local view mode.

Example

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
}

Test if the view is 3D

public bool IsView3D()
{
  //Get the active map view.
  var mapView = MapView.Active;
  if (mapView == null)
    return false;

  //Return whether the viewing mode is SceneLocal or SceneGlobal
  return mapView.ViewingMode == ArcGIS.Core.CIM.MapViewingMode.SceneLocal ||
         mapView.ViewingMode == ArcGIS.Core.CIM.MapViewingMode.SceneGlobal;
}
