Topo profile (cross section) in ArcGIS: How to make one.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- This video shows you how to extract a topo profile using the 3D analyst extension. Using ArcGIS you can then make a "blank" cross section (with a grid and the profile) and export it as a pdf.
Use the template provided here: www.download.ot...
To get XY data out of ArcGIS
The shapefile you created (e.g. "PG1.shp") will only have M and Z values in the attribute table.
You can either run the Export Feature Attribute to ASCII ( help.arcgis.com... ) which will export XYMZ.
Or run the Add XY Coordinates tool ( resources.arcgi... ) which will add the X and Y values to the attribute table. Then copy and paste.
I cannot thank you enough for such a wonderful and carefully thought out tutorial. I had been ripping my hairs out in frustration for a couple of years now, trying all sorts of tools developed by the GIS community, with random successes or failures (depending on the mood of ARCGIS!). Your solution is surprisingly elegant, and I wish I had found your video a long time ago, would have saved me a lot of trouble! I constantly need to create profile sections in 1:1 scale, and export them to autocad, so that further editing by my colleagues can take place. For the life of me, I cannot understand why ESRI hasn't created a tool that could do this in a simple and fast way... Thanks a million!
Thanks a lot! This really helped me immensely. You have a very clear and professional way of explaining things. Thanks!
Thanks! Good tutorial. But I wish I have seen creating cross-section template in details.
Thank you very much for such a nice tutorial on the cross sectional profile using ArcGIS
best tutorial ever
Still struggling to see how you created the cross section template? How do you create a blank graph area like that in arcgis?
how do you change the unit of the x axis?
The template location changed from the link above. You can find it below.

Thanks - I've updated the video description
Good video but I can't find information anywhere that lets me at least see the basemap or other layers when I'm using the interpolating line tool. I have a DEM but I want very fine scale cross sections and I can't see the locations of my cross sections from the DEM.Is there anyway to have both open at the same time?
the link for template doesnt work, can you please fix it ???!!!
hey download link for template does not work :(( is it possible to fix it sir ?? I would appreciate that !!
Still can create cross section template but my problem is the grids
Hi, Thank u very much for the Video, it was really very useful to me but i m confuse, how did u create .txt file ??? can u please tell us.....
tnx
Dear SIGeologyOtago,
I have enabled 3D Analyst, have added the 3D analyst extension and have selected terrain in layer. Still, all the icons in the 3D Analysis toolbox (Create contours, Create steepest path, Create line of sight, etc.) are cold (not coloured). i.e. I can't select them.
What could be the reason for that?
Very nice, thanks. But... how did you create the cross section template?!?!
Hi, I couldn't find the sectionMZ.txt file, could you help me to find it?
Hi, can you please tell me what is y and x axes value represents is it elevation in Dem or Distance or another things.
hi. i've been playing around with this a bit today. do you know if you're able to extra x,y and z information using arcgis, or just the chainage and the z value?
Dear SIGeologyOtago,
First of all, thanks for the video. It is very helpful for me.
I would have a question. How can I make a profile graph with this methode for an exact rout (like roads or rivers)?
The profile graph icon is too simple, i can not edit the graph the way i want to.
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for your answer.
Layout you use for cross section??? can you guide me?
Hi, how would i alter the cross section for vertical exaggeration?
I cannot build the cross section when it happens to cut two DEMs raster datasets. Is there a way to do it?
I think I understand. Maybe combine the rasters into a mosaic, then run the tool on that.
Why i do as your instruction, but when i preview in arcgis, it is not like what i want.
Can u tell me about the cross section template layout? how to create it??
Many thanks
Hi I have downloaded your template, but doesn't work , I see my shape from above, not as section, What I have to do? thank :D
Can I have the link of cross section template please?
@@shraddhadhakal6731 have you get link of cross section template ..i want too
ur voice/audio is too low
very bad audio and accent......couldn't understant 80% of wtf he was saying......
