I have found that if you open a new ArcMap document and add your TIN or Terrain first then the profile tool will work fine (uses decimal elevations instead of rounding to integers).</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 10 Oct 2011 14:33:41 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/profile-graph-now-jagged/m-p/128829#M785 BondHarper 2011-10-10T14:33:41Z Re: Profile graph now jagged https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/profile-graph-now-jagged/m-p/128830#M786 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Thanks,&nbsp; that seems to work.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Mon, 18 Jun 2012 15:12:20 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/profile-graph-now-jagged/m-p/128830#M786 jimvandiver 2012-06-18T15:12:20Z Re: Profile graph now jagged https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/profile-graph-now-jagged/m-p/128831#M787 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>This may be an old thread, but I thought I'd point out that there is also a 'stairs' line mode.&nbsp; I don't believe it is on by default so it may not be the answer to this problem, but if you see your data looking 'blocky' look to see if this option is checked.&nbsp; It is located in the profile graph 'advanced properties' under the 'series' tab and 'format' page.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:05:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/3d-questions/profile-graph-now-jagged/m-p/128831#M787 FranklinEbner 2013-01-10T16:05:38Z
