Hi, I need to calculate the highest point of a polygon. But in ArcGIS 10 (with ArcInfo license), "Add Surface Information" interpolates surface elevation properties for only point, multipoint, and polyline features. Can we calculate the highest/lowest point by POLYGON without using Military Analyst? like this: http://webhelp.esri.com/arcgisdesktop/9.3/index.cfm?TopicName=Highest/Lowest_Point_By_Polygon_(Milit...
All Military Analyst was doing to calc high/low values, was to do a Zonal Statistics operation with min/max options, then convert the resulting pixel to a point feature class. The other thing it did was let you interactively draw the polygon. This can be accomplished by using a 'feature set' when building your own model.
If you don't want to build your own tool to do this, you should check out the Visibility and Range Template from our defense team. It has a tool built to do what MA was doing.
