Hi everybody,
I am totally new to arcgis and this is what I've done to create a 2D cross section using a raster data map (elevation map):
1. Create a new shape file (polyline) using arc catalog
2. then, Make a raster out of the line
In ArcToolbox, �??> Conversion Tools �??> To Raster �??> Polyline to Raster
3. Step 3: Make points out of every cell in the raster
In ArcToolbox, �??> Conversion Tools �??> From Raster �??> Raster to Point
Step 4: Get elevation values for the points (add to attribute table)
ArcToolbox �??> Spatial Analyst Tools �??> Extraction �??> Extract Values to Points
Step 5: Get X,Y coordinates for the points (also add to attribute table)
XToolsPro �??> Table Operations �??> Add X,Y,Z coordinates
I found this instruction on internet and I did exactly the same (I dont really understand why we have to convert polyline into raster then raster to point).then I obtain an attribute table with X,Y and raster value (elevation)
Then I exported the data in the table into .dbf file then tried to open it in Exel (in order to plot the cross section into some kind of graph) but I couldn't manage it. The .dbf file does not contain the value like in the attribute table I saw in arcGIS, i dont understand why?
AND I dont understand this method that I've used also, if anybody knows, please explain to me if the method is right or not? or is this any other method which is more simple to create the cross section in my case. ([email protected])
Thanks so much.

Because the default 'Profile Graph' tool was not sufficient, I wrote a custom VBA script that creates scaled and exaggerated profile cross-sections in ArcGIS but I need more features: https://weiturbo.weebly.com/mechanics-of-materials-8th-edition-gere-pdf-download.html.
- Visualize more than 1 surface
- Visualize vertical and directional boreholes
- Ability to symbolize / edit the output
- Linked with underlying data - changes in terrain (or profile 3D line) reflected in output
A few years ago I tested an extension by A-Prime software called 'CrossView For ArcGIS' but I am not sure if it is compatible with ArcGIS 10 (Contacted A-Prime but they have not yet responded)http://www.aprimesoftware.com/ Program script for 60th birthday.
Area there any alternatives? Other 3rd party software? A functioning script? that can do this?

I use Ianko ET surface, not too expensive for the paid for version, there are some tools which are free, and arc10 is supported. Download adobe photoshop for apple mac. The above link is from earlier. you might read through it is your programming is adept enough it might help.
I can say I am very happy with the ET geo suite which includes all of his tools!just google ianko et tools, lot's of free stuff too

CrossView DOES work at ArcGIS 10. just download the install bundle and select the correct installation file version.CrossView is AWESOME!

Xacto section developed by Jennifer Carrell is another tool which works quite well for 2D and 3D profiles.
