Elevation Charts: Reference polygon feature information under elevation profile line
This is a shameless grab from Elevation Profile Widget - Reference polygon featu... - Esri Community by @JavierML .
They'd like to know which soils they'd find along an elevation profile. Considering that there's a soil polygon feature availaible, it should be possible to represent this soil information with different colours within the elevation profile.
Maybe this idea is already possible, but I couldn't mange to do it. The only idea I had is convert the polygon borders into lines so the are intersected along the profile (as you can do with other lines), but the process is tedious, unreliable and not aesthetically pleasing.
I'd like to see this functionality in ArcGIS Pro, as well. For example, one of my users wanted something similar to show land ownership along the length of a trail.
For profile charts made from 3d line layers - it's possible to color fill below a profile line using the color of the line. The only way to accomplish multiple colors like this is to split the line into multiple (e.g., where the line crosses over polygon boundaries), color/symbolize each of the lines as desired, then create a chart from the multiple lines and turn on the Fill and Chaining options. To chain properly, the lines must be oriented consistently so the endpoint of one meets the start point of another.
