Inroads Isopach surface

Is there a way to create an Isopach surface that uses a distance(length) for each color code instead of elevation ranges?  I am comparing landslide surfaces and would like to show, 1-2 foot change, 2-5 foot change and so on.

  • Are you trying to display lateral movement of features?
    Obviously when a landslide occurs, some areas will loose elevation, but other areas may gain as debris piles up. These will show as elevation changes in an ISOPACH Surface between the before and after condition. And if you enable custom intervals, you can specify your own intervals.
    But if you are trying to indicate what areas moved laterally, it would be difficult to identify the same area as being a before and after, would it not? But even if you could, I don't see how you could use an isopach to display the information.
