Also a good point, Blake. Perhaps the ultimate solution is to post the "correct" answer as an edit at the bottom of your original question, mark as correct the person who gave the closest answer, and give a helpful to everyone who contributed.

Hi Brenda, not to worry. I'm sure nothing is beyond repair--you can always download the data again. I opened your attached zip, but it only contained the file hdr.adf. Where exactly did you go to download the data, and what county is it for? In the meantime, you might read up on the grid format here: ArcGIS Desktop Help 9.2 - About the ESRI grid format ...

Yeah, sometimes it is a grey area, and you come up with the answer yourself, although people may try to help, but I think I would have said Jake Skinner wrote most of the final piece of code in this particular post. ... View more

Hi Robert, I don't know anything more about the job than you see here. I am just forwarding it in case it is of interest to anyone else. If you need any more details, I would contact the person at the bottom of the job listing. Good luck! ... View more

Haha! I love how the answers to this question perfectly illustrate the point that there are so many ways to get a task done in ArcGIS. We should see just how many we can come up with! ... View more

What a fun question, Dan! I don't have graphing capabilities on this computer, but I would imagine the level/point relationship will appear linear using a logarithmic scale on the Y-axis. As it is, it looks exponential. Assuming it will take 1.6 million points to reach level 10, it makes me wonder if one could even turn it up to 11. At the rate you suggest, it would take 40 years to reach level 9. It certainly doesn't seem obtainable in my lifetime. I wonder why they made the first few levels so closely spaced, and the rest so distant? I guess one could think of level 6 as the "weed-out" level. I suppose that makes you a rare plant. ...

Hey Jason, can you mark your question as answered? This will help others looking for a similar solution, and also let the rest of us know that you no longer need help. Thanks! ... View more

Here's one idea: If it's not a very large analysis area, convert your DEM to an integer, and then use raster to polygon conversion, using the value field. Intersect these polygons with your polyline. Once you have the polygon elevation values in your polyline table, you can add a field called "elev_diff" perhaps, and then calculate that field by subtracting the polyline elevation from the polygon elevation. After this, select all polylines where that value is negative, and delete! Viola! ... View more
