Updated soon after posting to add new imagery and additional credit.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been working on a cartographic side project that some of you may have seen via my social media posts.\u00a0 It’s continuing work I had previously submitted to the Esri Map Gallery specifically called ‘London Walk’<\/a> (which last year when I got third place for and is this years Mapbook 35<\/a>) and ‘What lies above the underground?’<\/a> map. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The idea is similar, take a line and a terrain or surface (DTM\/DSM) and use the interpolate tool, adjust intervals for control on smoothness etc… except this time I figured out how to flatten the lines and turn it into a GP (Geo-Processing) tool via Model Builder in ArcGIS Pro. The tool clearly takes inspiration from Nicholas Duggan’s work who did a map gallery entry here<\/a> the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think the results look pretty good, I hope you like them. I’ve also worked on the tool to work on just lines to make a cross section effect (for mountains etc..) also I have an automated way of taking labels along the line and placing them on the new profile created with the tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve created a demo video showing the tool at work in the new ArcGIS Pro 2.6<\/strong>, below and yes I sped it up (apologies for lack of smoothness!).  In the video I’ve combined it with a hillshade of the DSM I used, plus the ‘Distance and Direction’ tool which I quite like as well!  Oh, I also used the new graphics layer capabilities in ArcGIS Pro 2.6! The video is far from perfect but I hope you can see the possibilities! You can also see I’ve used a few of John Nelson’s styles who is a constant source of positive inspiration<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
