What it does

Elevation along a line: samples, gain and loss, grades and extremes.

Like Stack Profile (3D Analyst) / Profile graph in ArcGIS Pro and Elevation Profile (QGIS 3.26+) in QGIS. Run by the product's terrain engine on 30 m cells from Copernicus DEM GLO-30 (full resolution): 740 x 930 = 688,200 cells; no model was called.
