Arcgis Cross Section Tool

Toolbars within the header block of ArcGIS can be updated via the drop menu item (Customize >> Toolbars) or alternatively by right clicking within the header block. Commonly used toolbars for TUFLOW modeling are listed below:

Working with Cross Sections in ArcGIS by Susan Smith CrossView Earth Surfaces for ArcGIS from A-Prime Software, is a new cartographic tool for ArcGIS users. Manually edit and update LAS classification codes. Manually edit LAS point-bit field flags. Display full-resolution lidar point sets. View and analyse your drillholes in 3D by creating cross sections; Create single sections or multiple parallel sections, easily; Use the Viewer tool to “step through” the entire project, one section at a time; Build professional quality maps for reports, printing, and PDFs with ArcGIS Pro Layout tools. The output of this tool has only one attribute, ORIGFID, which stores the Object ID of the input feature along which each transect line was generated. You can use this field to add additional attributes from the input features to the output transect lines by running the Add Join or Join Field tool.

The Editor toolbar contains a collection of tools to create, update, or delete features directly within the display.
The most commonly used items within the toolbox are:

  1. Create Feature, used to define what feature types will be created.
  2. Edit Tool, used to select a feature which already exists for editing.
  3. Edit Vertices, after selecting a feature using the Edit Tool, this selection will display the vertices of a feature.
  4. Trace, used to trace existing feature geometry when creating new features. The Layers which are selectable for the tracing can be managed using the selection options via right clicking a layer in the Table of Contents. This is shown in the figure below.
  5. Sketch Properties, after selecting a feature using the Edit Tool, this selection will display the geometry properties of a feature in tabular format. Values can be updated within the display, modifying the features spatial display.

Snapping is used to associate point features with lines or polygons. ArcGIS snapping options include: Point Snapping, End Snapping, Vertex Snapping and Edge Snapping. Edge snapping is not recommended for TUFLOW model development tasks. Edge snapping can be disabled by deselecting the Edge Snapping icon in the toolbar. After being deselected, the Snapping toolbar should resemble the figure below.

Items within the edit toolbar are used to modify the location of vertices and add or remove vertices. The Edit and Edit Vertices tools within the Editor Toolbar need to be selected before the Edit Vertices options are selectable

ET GeoWizard is a central location for a wide range of geometry update tools. ET GeoWizard can be downloaded from http://www.ian-ko.com/ET_GeoWizards/gw_demo.htm. The most commonly used items within the toolbox are:

The 3D Analysis toolbar is used to perform analysis tasks on raster datasets. For example, cross-sections can be extracted from 3D raster datasets using the ArcGIS 3D analysis extension. This tool is useful for viewing and extracting creek cross-section or water surface elevation longprofile information.


The steps how to do this are outlined in the following webinar: Webinar Link: Extracting Cross-section Data From Raster
