3D Point symbols can be attached to both tracks and draw object points in 3D. They can be rendered as simple billboard Icons, as 3D models, optionally with text labels or a combination of these.

These options are controlled through the Styling engine in a styling category called `3DModel`. The following is an example of such as style:

<stylecategory name="TrackSymbol">
    <style>

      <compositeitem name="3D">
        <valueitem name="ClampToGround" value="true"/>
      </compositeitem>

      <compositeitem name="Icon">
        <valueitem name="SymbolKeyField" value="symbol.2525code"/>
        <valueitem name="Symbology" value="MilStd2525"/>
        <valueitem name="ElevationOffset" value="50.0"/>
        <valueitem name="Opacity" value="0.5"/>
      </compositeitem>

      <compositeitem name="3DModel">
        <valueitem name="ModelId" value="huge_duck" />
        <valueitem name="ModelScale" value="2.0" />
        <compositeitem name="GroundLine">
          <valueitem name="Color" value="255,255,255,255"/>
        </compositeitem>
        <compositeitem name="TextLabel">
          <valueitem name="FontName" value="Arial Black"/>
          <valueitem name="FontSize" value="18.0"/>
          <valueitem name="Color" value="255,255,255,255"/>
          <valueitem name="OutlineColor" value="0,0,0,255"/>
          <valueitem name="OutlineThickness" value="2"/>
          <valueitem name="Background" value="128,127,127,127"/>
          <compositeitem name="LabelText1">
            <valueitem name="Fields" value="name,ais.name"/>
          </compositeitem>
        </compositeitem>
      </compositeitem>
      ....
   </stylecategory>

Styling the Icon =

The 3D Icon is styled similarly to the *CoreSymbol* item, but with some 3D specific value items:

Name Description
SymbolKeyField Controls which data field to use for setting the symbol ID.
Symbology Which symbol standard to use for the symbol. See [here](http://docs.maria.teleplanglobe.com/wiki/Track_style_categories/Symbol#Symbology) for full description
