Arcgis Cross Section Tool



  1. The process of creating geologic cross sections in ArcGIS from 2D in ArcMap to 3D in ArcScene using Xacto program output esri.comSpring 2012au29 A GIS and graphics specialist for the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) developed GIS tools that help visualize subsurface geology.
  2. For example, you can edit the classification codes for lidar data and view architectural-style cross-sections of a building. Profile viewing works on all types of data and surfaces. Profile viewing shifts the camera automatically to look at the data from a side-on viewpoint.
  3. Using Hec-GeoRas to Extract Cross Sections from a DTM for HEC/RAS Input Open Arcmapand create a new mxd file (File/New or File/Save As); must have Editor, Georas, and 3D Analysttool bars loaded.

Expand the 'Geocoding options' section. Click the 'Match with no zones' drop-down arrow, and select Yes. For more information on properties listed in the Geocoding options section, refer to the following ArcGIS Web Help topic: Geocoding options properties. Use the Check Geometry and Repair Geometry tools before geocoding.

Make Cross Section and Profile Diagrams Directly in ArcMap

  • Generate detailed diagrams in minutes, not hours.
  • Highlight vertical, as well as horizontal, spatial relationships.
  • Instantly evaluate cross section details and attributes.
  • Develop diagrams that encourage intuitive reasoning and problem solving.

Multi-Surface Visualization

  • Simultaneously visualize multiple GRIDs, TINs, and other surface datasets.
  • Display topographic surfaces with geologic and hydrologic subsurfaces.
  • Depict and highlight spatial interrelationships among surfaces.

Incorporate well, bore, and other down-hole features

  • Depict wells, bores, and other features from input datasets, and retain their descriptive attributes.
  • Expand your workflow to incorporate geotechnical and geo-environmental data.
  • Highlight and infer relationships among features to encourage intuitive data interpolation
