geological cross section

[MaximeGuillois]

HI everybody,

I have a soil classification (raster ans shapefile), and topographic cross section made from a DEM.

I would like to ''colorize'' the cross section depending on the classification. to summarize I want to visualize on the cross section the soil occupation.

is it possible ?

Many thanks

If you can create polygons from the cross-section then that would be easy.  If your cross-section consists or raster or vector lines, then they would have to be closed to form either polygons or raster zones.

A picture of what you have would help

check the code sharing site eg.  http://www.arcgis.com/home/item.html?id=e86077dc453e4152a14c2e861de7fc01

I have :

- a DEM

- Polygones files, with a field depending of the soil occupation on the attibute table

- A polyline where I want to have my cross section

- then, with the 3D analyst toolbar I've mad the cross section according to the elevation of the DEM

well you can't make that profile into a colorized depth plot... look at the tool that does cross-sections or examine the options on the code sharing site

Thank you for your help,

I will check then come back to update this post

It is possible when doing clip using vector layers...

This is top view but is it possible to see as a topographic cross section ?

mhmhmp., this could be viewed through arcscene..
