they first calculate the rise (y) and run (x) of a slope using sophisticated surveying equipment. They then express the slope as a ratio of the rise to the run (y : x or y/x) and multiply by 100 to get a percentage for the rise. They can then...
In ArcGIS Pro, theAdd Surface Informationtool calculates slope values in percent (percent rise) units. In some instances, it is preferred to obtain the slope values in degrees. This article provides the steps to convert the units of slope from percent to degrees using the Field Calculator in ...
