I figure I could change the XYZ assignment from the table (contains millions of records).&nbsp; I was checking if there was some other option before I started that route. The image shows some of the modeling on the ceiling and as with the walls, they too have an undulating surface that creates some challenges</P><P><IMG alt="nestbats.jpg" class="jive-image image-1" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/2740_nestbats.jpg" style="width: 620px; height: 518px;" /></P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:39:59 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-spatial-analyst-questions/surface-modeling-on-vertical-surface/m-p/743940#M10783 warrenroberts 2014-07-29T22:39:59Z
