   (new Uri("ms-appx:///Assets/trainengine.3mf"));    

 var myModel = await MapModel3D.CreateFrom3MFAsync(map3dSphereStreamReference,
     MapModel3DShadingOption.Smooth);

 var my3DElement = new MapElement3D();
 my3DElement.Location = myMap.Center;
 my3DElement.Model = myModel;

 var myLayer = new MapElementsLayer();
 myLayer.MapElements.Add(my3DElement);
