Getting elevation data from contour lines

[edward33]

I have a DEM tif file that I created contour lines with by using:

• raster functions
• contour
  • Z base from the DEM tif
  • contour interval of 1
• output is a raster layer

The output layer looks great, but the issue is if I click on a contour line there is no data to tell me what the elevation of that line is. I need to be able to click on a line and it tell me its elevation is 15m for example.

Is there a different way I should be creating contour lines?

Hi @edward33,

With the 3D Analyst or Spatial Analyst extension, you can use the Contour tool.  This will create an output feature class.
