3D Viewer

3D Viewer showcases a scene with default 3D navigation tools, including zoom controls, pan, rotate, and compass. Include an inset map and bookmarks to provide context to the scene and guide app users to points of interest. Line of sight, measure, and slice tools allow users to interpret 3D data. Set the option to disable scroll in the app to seamlessly embed this app in another app or site.
