Hi Guys,

My goal is to create a 3D polyline of a section of road. I have a 2D polyline that represents the road and I have a Digital Elevation Model of the area the road is contained. What I am trying to achieve is to use the z values of the DEM (the elevation) and combine them with the x and y values of the road polyline, to create a new polyline with x, y and z values. Is this possible?

I am using ArcGIS Pro 2.6.3, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Nic

I think you are probably looking for the Interpolate Shape geoprocessing tool. It is available with a Spatial Analyst or 3D Analyst extension license.
