DEM Artefacts

[PaulHeersink]

I have a collection of data points from which I am trying to generate a DEM and, ultimately, a hillshade for use as a backdrop in a map. Whichever way I try to process it (using Topo to Raster) I get artefacts where the points are located. See the attached example:

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Dan, It seems the article you referred is from tech support and I added comment for them to update this for 10.x.

For any continuous surface, bilinear or cubic re-sampling should be used instaed of default nearest neighbor to avoid artifacts (such as stair case).

thanks for updating the thread with the information... still no update but the link will be useful because of the image documentation

Does the DEM you have are in known projection rather than geographic coordinate systems ? I'd check on that ..
