Displaying Custom Symbols in ArcGIS runtime

Question

Hi i am new to arcgis and i want to display my custom symbol of 3d type with .obj format on a layer of data, i would like to display this particular symbol in all of the layer data's 2d points.

I know how to convert 2D Points using renderer to 3D I also know that to convert the custom made symbol into arcgis runtime i will have to use model scene symbol. I thought that publishing the symbol and using it would work but i came to know that it is the process for javascript api not runtime

Can anyone tell me how to use the custom made symbol into the layer of data?

Answer 1

First, let me clarify that you cannot use 3D model symbols to symbolize layers in map(2D). But if you have custom symbols, you can use those symbol in ArcGIS Pro and create a mobile stylx file. Then you can open the stylx file in runtime to symbolize the features. See following topics for more information
