Class: QgsPoint3DSymbol

class qgis.3d.QgsPoint3DSymbol

Bases: QgsAbstract3DSymbol

Constructor for QgsPoint3DSymbol with default QgsMarkerSymbol as the billboardSymbol

QgsPoint3DSymbol(other: QgsPoint3DSymbol) Copy Constructor for QgsPoint3DSymbol

3D symbol that draws point geometries as 3D objects using one of the predefined shapes.

Warning

This is not considered stable API, and may change in future QGIS releases. It is exposed to the Python bindings as a tech preview only.
