Cost Distance Problem

midsml — Wed, 25 Jan 2023 03:22:50 GMT

Hi! I am kind of new to ArcGIS and I would appreciate some help

I am carrying a cost path analysis over a piece of land and i am getting a strange answer I can not turn it right

I think the output value is too much that the map doesn't show. I don't know what caused it.

Can anyone help me?
thank you

Hi,

We will likely need more information you in terms of what tools did you execute in which order, and share your input parameters and sample data (where convenient), in order to help you narrow down the issue.
Meanwhile, do check below on how the cost distance analysis tool work to see if it can help point you to where in the process did thing go wrong.

I used the slope tool obtained from the dem data. cost distance to find cost path but i can't find it because my cost distance is very valuable I don't know why the values are so abnormal.

This is the slope I'm looking for.
I have quite a bit of knowledge in this area really.
