I'm using ArcMap 10. For my thesis I need to simulate a debris avalanche, but in my elevation raster the avalanche deposit is included so I'd need to take it off to simulate on a pre-avalanche-like surface. Unfortunately the only data I have is the average (and supposed uniform) thickness of the deposit of 24m. I removed this thickness from my raster using raster calculator ("my raster" - "raster of tickness created from polygon to raster"). What I obtained is a raster without that thickness, but like a valley with sub-vertical walls! I need to smooth these edges to make it look more realistic (now it looks like a print with the shape of the deposit).</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>Which tool can use? What I was able to find is the Filter tool which smooth these edges too mildly or the Smooth Line tool which could work on the contour lines. Is there a tool to smooth directly the raster?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thank you,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Michele</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:45:08 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-smooth-an-elevation-raster/m-p/241992#M13762 MicheleCordini 2013-06-14T09:45:08Z Re: How to smooth an elevation raster? https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-questions/how-to-smooth-an-elevation-raster/m-p/241993#M13763 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hello,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Depending on the scale use the focal majority filter - might work.
