Hello,

I have a 2D polygon file and an EDM file.  I already converted that 2D polygon to 3D polygon with Z value from the EDM surface elevation.  Now I want to create another polygon file based on that 3D polygon file with the elevation of each vertice 5-foot higher than the original one lying on that EDM surface.  I am sorry I cannot explain it very well.

Maybe I should put it this way:  I want to find the nearest grid cell that has an elevation 5-foot higher than the elevation of each vertice of the polygons.  Thanks.

hmmm. convert polygon to raster.  keep the extents the same, cell size the same, snap raster the dem, then subtract the two, query for cells that exceed your threshold


... sort of retired...
