Hi there,

 

Currenly working on a file of site boundaries and need to determine how "flat" sites are.  I have 2m contour data and also spot height information.  Just wondering how best to interrogate this data in order to get a good result!  Any ideas please??!

Hi,

 

 

perhaps the TINGenerator (or SurfaceModeler) could be helpful, it will generate TIN polygons based on your points (spot heights) and lines (contours). The resulting triangles will contain attributes for slope, percentage slope and aspect angle (see the help for details). You could use the site boundaries as breaklines.
