Hi everyone
as we know, on arcGIS 9.3 we can create topographic profiles using the 3D Analyst Tool > Interpolate Line > Create Profile Graph...what I wanted to know now is hot to get slope degree on the graph we created.

I mean, I can't see it possible that arcGIS haven't invented a command to get the flank slope degree on the profile graph: if I have my profile graph and I want to see the slope degree between altitude 2000 m and altitude 3000 m, isn't there a way to get it?

Thanks everyone!

Have you found some program or aplication to do so? I think with ArcGIS it is not posible, though it would be really useful.

There is a great blog about how to calculate the slope on a line using the Add Surface Information tool.  So to answer the original question, it is possible once you upgrade to ArcGIS 10.
