Scene CoClass

A container for the display and manipulation of data.

Product Availability

Available with ArcGIS Engine, ArcGIS Desktop, and ArcGIS Server. Requires 3D Analyst Extension.

Supported Platforms

Windows, Solaris, Linux

Extended Error Information

Use the ISupportErrorInfo method InterfaceSupportsErrorInfo to determine if the object supports extended error information. If the object supports extended error info, VC++ developers should use the OLE/COM IErrorInfo interface to access the ErrorInfo object. Visual Basic developers should use the global error object Err to retrieve this extended error information.

Remarks

Scene is to ArcScene what Map is to ArcMap. There's only one scene object in each ArcScene session. It's the collection of various layers. Similar to that in ArcScene, there's also a scene object in a scene viewer control or a later version, scene control.

[Visual Basic 6.0]

'A common way to get hold of the scene object in VBA from within ArcScene:

dim pDoc as ISxDocument: set pDoc = ThisDocument

set pScene as IScene: set pScene = pDoc.Scene
