ESM: import Ground from "@arcgis/core/Ground.js";
CDN: const Ground = await $arcgis.import("@arcgis/core/Ground.js");
Class: @arcgis/core/Ground
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.0
The Ground class contains properties that specify how the ground surface is displayed in a SceneView. It contains a layers property, which is a collection of ElevationLayer that defines the elevation or terrain of the map's surface.
On a Map instance, a default ground surface using the World Elevation Service can conveniently be initialized through the ground property:
let map = new Map({
basemap: "topo-vector",
ground: "world-elevation"
});
When terrain and bathymetry values are needed, the TopoBathy 3D Service can be used:
let map = new Map({
basemap: "topo-vector",
ground: "world-topobathymetry"
});
When no basemap is available, the Ground displays a grid by default:
That can be changed by setting a color on the surfaceColor property:
map.ground.surfaceColor = '#004c73';
If the scene contains underground data, reduce the opacity of the ground to be able to see through the ground:
map.ground.opacity = 0.4;
new Ground(properties)
Parameter
optionalSee the properties for a list of all the properties that may be passed into the constructor.

Property DetailsInherited
Property declaredClass Stringreadonly
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Accessor since 4.0, declaredClass added at 4.7.
The name of the class. The declared class name is formatted as esri.folder.className.
A collection of ElevationLayers that define the elevation or terrain that makes up the ground surface. When elevation layers are added to the ground, the topographical variations of the surface are rendered in 3D as they would appear in the real world.
When the layers collection is empty, the ground surface is flat.
Example
// Adds the esri world elevation service to the ground
let layer = new ElevationLayer({
url: "//elevation3d.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/WorldElevation3D/Terrain3D/ImageServer"
});
map.ground.layers.add(layer);The Error object returned if an error occurred while loading.
loadStatus Stringreadonly
Represents the status of a load operation.
Value Description not-loaded The object's resources have not loaded. loading The object's resources are currently loading. loaded The object's resources have loaded without errors. failed The object's resources failed to load. See loadError for more details.Possible Values:"not-loaded" |"loading" |"failed" |"loaded"
Default Value:"not-loaded"
loadWarnings Object[]readonly
A list of warnings which occurred while loading.
loaded Booleanreadonly
Indicates whether the instance has loaded. When true, the properties of the object can be accessed. A Ground is considered loaded when its layers are fully created, but not yet loaded.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8 Ground since 4.0, navigationConstraint added at 4.8.
Specifies the user navigation constraints relative to the ground surface.
The type of the constraint. It can be one of the following:
Value Description stay-above User can only navigate above ground surface none User can navigate above and below the ground surfaceDefault value: stay-above
Possible Values:"stay-above"|"none"
opacity Number
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8 Ground since 4.0, opacity added at 4.8.
Opacity of the ground, including surface default color and the basemap (without reference layers). This property can be used for a see-through ground effect.
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.8 Ground since 4.0, surfaceColor added at 4.8.
The color of the ground surface, displayed underneath the basemap. If this is null, a grid is displayed instead. The alpha value in the color is ignored. Use the opacity property to control the opacity of the ground.

optionalKey identifying the group to which the handles should be added. All the handles in the group can later be removed with Accessor.removeHandles(). If no key is provided the handles are added to a default group.
cancelLoad()
Cancels a load() operation if it is already in progress.
Creates a deep clone of this object.
Returns
Type Description Ground A deep clone of the Ground instance that invoked this method. createElevationSampler(extent, options){Promise<ElevationSampler>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.7 Ground since 4.0, createElevationSampler added at 4.7.
Creates an elevation sampler for the given extent by querying the ground layers for elevation data and caching it so values may be sampled quickly afterwards. The sampler uses the elevation data from the first layer that has data available. For getting elevation data from a specific layer use ElevationLayer.createElevationSampler().
Parameters
Specification
The extent for which to create the sampler.
optionalAdditional sampler options.
Specification
optionalDefault Value: auto
Controls the horizontal resolution (cell size) in meters from which elevation data is sampled (defaults to auto). See Ground.queryElevation() for more details.
Default Value: 0
The value to use when there is no data available.
optionalAn AbortSignal to abort the request. If canceled, the promise will be rejected with an error named AbortError. See also AbortController.
Returns
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.17 Ground since 4.0, destroy added at 4.17.
Destroys the ground and its layers. These can no longer be used once the ground has been destroyed. To prevent the layers from being destroyed, remove them from the ground before calling destroy().
// prevent the layers from being destroyed by removing them from the ground
const layers = ground.layers.removeAll();
// destroy the ground and any remaining associated resources
ground.destroy();
Creates a new instance of this class and initializes it with values from a JSON object generated from an ArcGIS product. The object passed into the input json parameter often comes from a response to a query operation in the REST API or a toJSON() method from another ArcGIS product. See the Using fromJSON() topic in the Guide for details and examples of when and how to use this function.
Returns
Type Description * | null | undefined Returns a new instance of this class.Inherited
Method hasHandles(groupKey){Boolean}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, hasHandles added at 4.25.
Returns true if a named group of handles exist.
Parameter
groupKey *
optionalA group key.
Returns
Type Description Boolean Returnstrue if a named group of handles exist.
Example
// Remove a named group of handles if they exist.
if (obj.hasHandles("watch-view-updates")) {
obj.removeHandles("watch-view-updates");
} isFulfilled(){Boolean}
isFulfilled() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). If it is fulfilled, true will be returned.
Returns
Type Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been fulfilled (either resolved or rejected). isRejected(){Boolean}
isRejected() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is rejected. If it is rejected, true will be returned.
Returns
Type Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been rejected. isResolved(){Boolean}
isResolved() may be used to verify if creating an instance of the class is resolved. If it is resolved, true will be returned.
Returns
Type Description Boolean Indicates whether creating an instance of the class has been resolved. load(options){Promise}
Loads the resources referenced by this class. This method automatically executes for a View and all of the resources it references in Map if the view is constructed with a map instance.
This method must be called by the developer when accessing a resource that will not be loaded in a View.
The load() method only triggers the loading of the resource the first time it is called. The subsequent calls return the same promise.
It's possible to provide a signal to stop being interested into a Loadable instance load status. When the signal is aborted, the instance does not stop its loading process, only cancelLoad can abort it.
Parameters
optionalAdditional options.
Specification
optionalSignal object that can be used to abort the asynchronous task. The returned promise will be rejected with an Error named AbortError when an abort is signaled. See also AbortController for more information on how to construct a controller that can be used to deliver abort signals.
Returns
Type Description Promise Resolves when the resources have loaded. loadAll(){Promise<Ground>}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.9 Ground since 4.0, loadAll added at 4.9.
Loads all the externally loadable resources associated with the ground. For the ground this will load all the layers.
Returns
Type Description Promise<Ground> Resolves when all the loadable resources have been loaded. Rejects if at least one of the loadable resources failed to load.Example
// Load all resources but ignore if one or more of them failed to load
ground.loadAll()
.catch(function(error) {
// Ignore any failed resources
})
.then(function() {
console.log("All loaded");
});Query the ground layer services for elevation values for the given geometry.
The returned result contains a copy of the geometry with z-values sampled from elevation data from the first layer that has data available. The resolution from which the elevation is queried can be set using the demResolution option. In many cases, auto demResolution can be used to get high quality elevation samples without the need to know exactly where the data in the service is located. This is particularly useful for services which combine elevation data from many sources (such as the world elevation service). If more control, or higher quality samples are required, use either finest-contiguous or a fixed {number} resolution.
Parameters
Specification
geometry Point|Multipoint|PolylineThe geometry to sample.
options Object optionalAdditional query options.
Specification
demResolution Number|String optionalDefault Value: auto
Controls the horizontal resolution (cell size) in meters from which elevation data is sampled (defaults to auto). See the table below for more details on the different settings.
auto Automatically chooses an appropriate resolution for each coordinate of the input geometry. The current implementation will try to use the finest available resolution given that the total required number of tile requests does not exceed a certain maximum amount (currently 20). Note that this may result in values being sampled from different resolutions. finest-contiguous Sample elevation from the finest available resolution (cell size) across the entire geometry. {number} Sample elevation from the resolution closest to the specified resolution (in meters). returnSampleInfo Boolean optional
Default Value: false
Indicates whether to return additional sample information for each sampled coordinate.
noDataValue Number optionalDefault Value: 0
The value that appears in the resulting geometry when there is no data available.
signal AbortSignal|null|undefined optionalAn AbortSignal to abort the request. If canceled, the promise will be rejected with an error named AbortError. See also AbortController.
Returns
Type Description Promise<ElevationQueryResult> Resolves to an object with the sampled geometry, resolution information, and no data value.Example
const [Map, Multipoint] = await $arcgis.import(["@arcgis/core/Map.js", "@arcgis/core/geometry/Multipoint.js"]);
const map = new Map({
ground: "world-elevation"
});
// Various points across a ridge of the mount everest
const points = [
[ 86.9252, 27.9883 ],
[ 86.9265, 27.9894 ],
[ 86.9292, 27.9923 ],
[ 86.9324, 27.9960 ],
[ 86.9359, 27.9992 ]
];
map.ground.queryElevation(new Multipoint({ points }), { returnSampleInfo: true })
// Successfully sampled all points
.then(function(result) {
// Print result of each sampled point to the console
result.geometry.points.forEach(function(point, index) {
const elevation = Math.round(point[2]);
const resolution = result.sampleInfo[index].demResolution;
const coordinateText = "(" + point[0] + ", " + point[1] + ")";
const resolutionText = Math.round(resolution) + " meter resolution";
console.log("Sampled " + coordinateText + ": " + elevation + " at " + resolutionText);

.catch(function(error) {
console.error("Failed to query elevation:", error);
});Inherited
Method removeHandles(groupKey)
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.25 Accessor since 4.0, removeHandles added at 4.25.
Removes a group of handles owned by the object.
Parameter
groupKey *
optionalA group key or an array or collection of group keys to remove.
Example
obj.removeHandles(); // removes handles from default group
obj.removeHandles("handle-group");
obj.removeHandles("other-handle-group"); when(callback, errback){Promise}
Since: ArcGIS Maps SDK for JavaScript 4.6 Ground since 4.0, when added at 4.6.
when() may be leveraged once an instance of the class is created. This method takes two input parameters: a callback function and an errback function. The callback executes when the instance of the class loads. The errback executes if the instance of the class fails to load.
Parameters
optionalThe function to call when the promise resolves.
optionalThe function to execute when the promise fails.
Returns
Type Description Promise Returns a new promise for the result ofcallback that may be used to chain additional functions.
Example
// Although this example uses MapView, any class instance that is a promise may use when() in the same way
let view = new MapView();
view.when(function(){
// This function will execute once the promise is resolved
}, function(error){
// This function will execute if the promise is rejected due to an error
}); ElevationQueryResult
Object returned when queryElevation() promise resolves:
The geometry with sampled z-values.
optionalContains additional information about how the geometry was sampled. This property is present depending on whether the user set options.returnSampleInfo = true, for each coordinate in the geometry.
The resolution at which the z-value was sampled. If no data was available for sampling for a given coordinate, the dem resolution value will be -1 for that coordinate.
optionalThe elevation source from which the data for the corresponding coordinate was sampled.
The value used when there is no data available.
