Example

Set Elevation Mode for a layer

//Note: Use QueuedTask.Run
ElevationTypeDefinition elevationTypeDefinition = featureLayer.GetElevationTypeDefinition();
elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.OnGround;
//elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.RelativeToGround;
//elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.RelativeToScene;
//elevationTypeDefinition.ElevationType = LayerElevationType.AtAbsoluteHeight;
//..so on.
//Optional: Specify the cartographic offset
elevationTypeDefinition.CartographicOffset = 1000;
//Optional: Specify the VerticalExaggeration
elevationTypeDefinition.VerticalExaggeration = 2;
if (featureLayer.CanSetElevationTypeDefinition(elevationTypeDefinition))
      featureLayer.SetElevationTypeDefinition(elevationTypeDefinition);
