Attributes features with spatial information derived from a surface.

Interpolate Shape

Creates 3D features by interpolating z-values from a surface.

Intersect 3D Line With Surface

Computes the geometric intersection of 3D line features and one or more surfaces to return the intersection as segmented line features and points.
