How to create filled contour lines

MikeStuart

Hi, I am quite new to ArcGIS, I'm an undergrad at Uni.

I am currently stuck trying to create filled contour lines of my map of sea level rise like this: http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/files/2012/11/screenShot.png

These are the stages I've currently completed:
1. Imported the .tif map files from Digimap and Mosaic'd them together
2. Imported the .tif profile DTM files from Digimap and Mosaic'd them together
3. Extracted contour lines at an interval of 0.5m from the DTM using the Arc Toolbox: Spatial Analyst Tools>Surface>Contour
4. Changed the contour lines properties from 'Single symbol' to 'Graduated colours' under the Symbology tab
5. Changed the range to show only: 0.0-0.5, 0.6-1.0, 1.1-2.0, 2.1-3.0 and 3.1-4.0 meters

This produces the attached map:

So yeah I don't know how to create filled contour lines, without resorting to using MS Paint or something.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Mike

Yes. This software is company-owned, however.

Do you have 10.1 and do you have a Spatial Analyst license?

I tried looking for the extracted file in the Catalog, and this is what I saw. Why can't I still use the tools? [ATTACH=CONFIG]22537[/ATTACH]

In ArcMap, use the Catalog window and browse to the folder where you extracted the zip files. There is a toolbox, expand it and you'll find the script tool. Double click it.

I've download and extracted the zip files, I tried to add the script to ArcGIS 10 using the ArcCatalog? by looking on other threads but I've been unsuccessful. Could you explain how I add the tool please?

Thank you everyone for your help!

Mike,

The Spatial Analyst team recently published a blog post introducing the "Spatial Analyst Supplemental tools". One of the supplemental tools is a Filled Contours tool.

You can download the tools here:

http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=3528bd72847c439f88190a137a1d0e67

Requirements:
ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 and Spatial Analyst Extension
The Filled Contours tool requires ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced or ArcGIS for Server Advanced and Spatial Analyst Extension.

Best,
Eric

I suspect that they symbolized the DEM and not the contour lines.
