This means that, although water levels were flat during the time of a lake's existence, shorelines now form an inclined plane, where the elevation of features changes with their x,y position. </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a way to create an inclined plane in Arc10 that i could fit with the DEM i'm using in order to try to correlate shoreline features?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Riley</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:25:09 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/creating-an-inclined-plane/m-p/363189#M2210 GlacialLab 2010-12-17T14:25:09Z Re: Creating an Inclined Plane https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/creating-an-inclined-plane/m-p/363190#M2211 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Just make a toe and crest line with elevations and offsets that give you your desired slope and create a TIN using them as hardline inputs. I am not sure what "Fitting" them to the shoreline refers to, but I envision bringing this incline and the lakeshore into ArcScene and adjusting the base height on the incline to get it intersecting the shoreline at 2 points and then redigitizing the new shoreline at the intersection of the lake surface and the incline slope. I have tried digitizing in ArcScene before though.... put it in the birds eye view.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 23 Dec 2010 22:23:11 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/creating-an-inclined-plane/m-p/363190#M2211 MichaelStead 2010-12-23T22:23:11Z Re: Creating an Inclined Plane https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/creating-an-inclined-plane/m-p/363191#M2212 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Can you describe in steps how to make inclined plane in ArcGIS 3D analyst</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 28 Mar 2012 03:44:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/creating-an-inclined-plane/m-p/363191#M2212 AhmedEl-Mekawy 2012-03-28T03:44:32Z
