Rasters to GeoSections tool in the Geoprocessing pane

The Rasters to GeoSections tool is accessed by double-clicking on "ArcGISPro Toolbx Tool.png Rasters to GeoSections" under the "ArcGISPro Toolset.png Features" toolset under the "ArcGISPro Toolset.png Subsurface Analyst" toolset under the "ArcGISPro Toolbx Item.png ArcHydroGroundwater.pyt" toolbox. This tool creates new GeoSection features from two data sources: section lines and a mosaic dataset representing a depositional sequence.

ArcGIS Notes – In older versions of ArcGIS, this tool appears as a dialog and is accessed through the "Arc Hydro Groundwater Tools" toolbox.
The icons vary between ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.
The order of the fields may vary between ArcGIS and ArcGIS Pro.
In ArcGIS there are raster catalogs, but not in ArcGIS Pro. In ArcGIS Pro, mosaic datasets serve a similar purpose to raster catalogs. For ArcGIS, when this document says "mosaic dataset" it usually means "raster catalog".

The following fields are available. Required fields are marked with a ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png icon. In ArcGIS, they are marked with a ArcGIS required - green circle icon.png icon. Fields marked with a ArcGIS Pro Warning Red.png icon may not be supported or the table may not exist.

  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input SectionLine Features – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input SectionLine Features dialog in order to specify the polyline features used to define the location of the GeoSection features to be created.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input Raster Catalog – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input Raster Catalog dialog in order to specify the mosaic dataset containing rasters for each horizon.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Raster Catalog Horizon ID field – Select from the drop-down the field in the mosaic dataset containing the horizon ID of the rasters. Each horizon ID should be unique.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Discretization Spacing – Enter the spacing or interval at which values are read from the raster, which determines the number of triangle strips used to create the multipatch GeoSection features. The smaller the value, the longer the tool will take to execute. The spacing value is in the same units as that of the SectionLine features.
  • ArcGIS Pro Red Required Symbol.png Input GeoSection Features – Click the ArcGISPro Open.png button to bring up the Input GeoSection Features dialog in order to specify the multipatch GeoSection feature class where new features will be created.
  • Raster Catalog Clip field – Optional. Select from the drop-down the field in the mosaic dataset used to specify certain rasters as clipping planes. If a raster is specified as a clipping plane, then elevation values on horizons below that raster will be clipped to the raster if they are greater than the clipping raster. The Clip field should contain one of the following values:
    • "0" – The raster is not used for clipping (default value).
    • "1" – The raster is used for clipping horizons below it.
  • Raster Catalog Fill field – Optional. Select from the drop-down the field in the mosaic dataset used to specify how the horizons are built between Horizon IDs. The Fill field should contain the following values:
    • "0" – Do not fill between a lower HorizonID and a higher one.
    • "1" – Fill between a lower HorizonID and a higher one (default value).
  • Raster Catalog HGUID field – Optional. Select from the drop-down the field in the mosaic dataset containing the Hydrogeologic Unit identifier, as part of the Arc Hydro Groundwater Data Model.
  • Append to Existing GeoSection Features – Turn on to append new GeoSections to the feature class. Turn off to clear the target feature class prior to creating new GeoSections.
