These are the stages I've currently completed: 1. Imported the .tif map files from Digimap and Mosaic'd them together 2. Imported the .tif profile DTM files from Digimap and Mosaic'd them together 3. Extracted contour lines at an interval of 0.5m from the DTM using the Arc Toolbox: Spatial Analyst Tools>Surface>Contour 4. Changed the contour lines properties from 'Single symbol' to 'Graduated colours' under the Symbology tab 5. Changed the range to show only: 0.0-0.5, 0.6-1.0, 1.1-2.0, 2.1-3.0 and 3.1-4.0 meters
This produces the attached map:
So yeah I don't know how to create filled contour lines, without resorting to using MS Paint or something.
The Spatial Analyst team recently published a blog post introducing the "Spatial Analyst Supplemental tools". One of the supplemental tools is a Filled Contours tool.
Requirements: ArcGIS 10.1 Service Pack 1 and Spatial Analyst Extension The Filled Contours tool requires ArcGIS for Desktop Advanced or ArcGIS for Server Advanced and Spatial Analyst Extension.
I've download and extracted the zip files, I tried to add the script to ArcGIS 10 using the ArcCatalog? by looking on other threads but I've been unsuccessful. Could you explain how I add the tool please?
In ArcMap, use the Catalog window and browse to the folder where you extracted the zip files. There is a toolbox, expand it and you'll find the script tool. Double click it.
