    Example
    Construct 3D special Multipatch shapes
    var sr = MapView.Active.Map.SpatialReference;
    
    var extent = MapView.Active.Extent;
    var center = extent.Center;
    var centerZ = MapPointBuilderEx.CreateMapPoint(center.X, center.Y, 500, sr);
    
    // cube
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Cube, centerZ, 200, sr);
    // tetrahedron
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Tetrahedron, centerZ, 200, sr);
    // diamond
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Diamond, centerZ, 200, sr);
    // hexagon
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Hexagon, centerZ, 200, sr);
    
    // sphere frame
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.SphereFrame, centerZ, 200, 0.8, sr);
    // sphere
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Sphere, centerZ, 200, 0.8, sr);
    // cylinder
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Cylinder, centerZ, 200, 0.8, sr);
    // cone
    multipatch = ArcGIS.Core.Geometry.MultipatchBuilderEx.CreateMultipatch(MultipatchConstructType.Cone, centerZ, 200, 0.8, sr);
    
    
    // use the builder to add materials or textures
    //   - create a cone with a material
