Hello

I am trying to determine the height of slopes from the actual toe to the crest, without having to digitize the toe and crest. I'm not being lazy - the area of interest is large and it will be very time-consuming to do the latter. In essence, I am hoping there is a method in Spatial Analyst / 3D Analyst or a formula that I can use in Raster Calculator.

Dan,

Many thanks for your response. It is much appreciated.

Your questions have got me questioning myself.

I am busy digitizing the crest and the toe as I realized that this will be necessary. I realize i need to calculate the difference in height between the toe and crest; but I don't want to display the actual difference in elevation values between the toe and the crest but rather the length of the slope from the toe (i.e. 0m to e.g. 300m).

Xander has given me a pretty good sense of how to obtain this.
