ArcGIS Pro 3.1 API Reference Guide
ArcGIS.Core.Geometry Namespace / Multipatch Class / GetPatchPriority Method
The index of the patch. Must be greater than or equal to zero and less than PartCount.
Example

In This Topic
    GetPatchPriority Method
    In This Topic
    Gets a value representing the priority of the specified patch (part).
    Syntax
    public int GetPatchPriority( 
       int patchIndex
    )
    Public Function GetPatchPriority( _
       ByVal patchIndex As Integer _
    ) As Integer

    Parameters

    patchIndex
    The index of the patch. Must be greater than or equal to zero and less than PartCount.
    Exceptions
    ExceptionDescription
    The patch index must be >= 0.
    The patch index must be less than the number of patches (parts) in the multipatch.
    Remarks
    When overlapping patches are defined within the same multipatch, patch priorities can be used to explicitly specify the order in which patches should be drawn when rendered. The larger the number assigned, the higher the patch priority or precedence the patch takes when rendered.
