I need to create a "city profile". You can see something similar in the attachment.

I can do it if I do a profile every meter and then append them together but there must be a better way.

I am doing some wind analysis, and need to know what areas will be blocked from the wind (in any height above ground).

Any ideas?

Hi Mody,

You could try and experiment with the Skyline Toolset if you have a 3D Analyst license available in Desktop/Pro. You would need to have the buildings in question rendered in 3D or as Multipatches to use this Geoprocessing tool. It might take some work, but this might give you something to work with.
