I want to be able to convert contour lines created from LiDAR data to Polygons with the Elevation intact.  I used to be able to complete this with the feature to polygon tool but this no longer maintains the elevation information that I need.  The work around for this is much longer and introduces more chances for the wrong elevation to be used.

Hi @HeatherAlexander 

The Contour tool in ArcGIS Pro provides a Contour Type parameter to create polygons (filled contour lines) directly.

Can you explain how this may not match your request? 

About Feature To Polygon, it is true that this tool does not maintain attribute information without post processing, and we are working on an enhancement to resolve that, ENH-000132387.
