idea Profile Graphs preparation using Interpolate Shape (3D) tool in ArcGIS Pro Ideas https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/profile-graphs-preparation-using-interpolate-shape/idi-p/975654 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>When I want to create a Profile Graph from a polyline it needs to have Z and M attributes.<BR /><BR />However if the featureclass has already got M attributes, adding the Z attributes with Interpolate Shape drops the M.<BR />So I have to recreate yet-another-temporary-featureclass to add the M values back.<BR /><BR />The reason I want to have M values is to be able to add label points to the graph such as peak names and huts and these need to be in a table with Measures and Z values.<BR /><BR />It is also a pity that I cannot refresh a profile using Python, but since the graph process is a third party add-in there is no hope of that. Back to being a "professional button-pusher". If I was able to create the graph template and then load a new featureclass and export it, that would be great.<BR /><BR />I get a crash when I try to remove a theme, which generates a crash report. (10.0 SP2 plus patch on win 7)<BR /><BR />BTW The mandatory option BILINEAR for a raster DEM surface is not mentioned in the help for the tool, but is in the example help script.<BR /><BR /><BR /> <!-- content transformation source ID: 08730000000bpIM --> </BODY></HTML> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 03:34:34 GMT KimOllivier 2011-07-06T03:34:34Z Profile Graphs preparation using Interpolate Shape (3D) tool https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-ideas/profile-graphs-preparation-using-interpolate-shape/idi-p/975654 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY>When I want to create a Profile Graph from a polyline it needs to have Z and M attributes.<BR /><BR />However if the featureclass has already got M attributes, adding the Z attributes with Interpolate Shape drops the M.<BR />So I have to recreate yet-another-temporary-featureclass to add the M values back.<BR /><BR />The reason I want to have M values is to be able to add label points to the graph such as peak names and huts and these need to be in a table with Measures and Z values.<BR /><BR />It is also a pity that I cannot refresh a profile using Python, but since the graph process is a third party add-in there is no hope of that.
