Extract data from multidimensional raster to points.

Question

I have a number of NetCDF files converted to raster, these contain bands for different times. I also have point data for study locations. I am wanting to extract a value for each of the time layers at each of the point locations. Is there a way to do this? Multipoint to value only allows me to extract data from one layer of the raster file.

(I don't have a license for 3D analyst if that is where the solution lies).

Interesting that the tool only works with shape file. My points as a feature class did not work ...

I had the same problem and I could solve it as follows:

1- Create  a Multidimensional raster layer with the netcdf data and a point shapefile.

2-Through Catalog, create a geodatabase and inside it create a mosaic raster.

3-Add your Multidimensional raster layer to the mosaic.

4-Use sample tool to cross the mosaic and your points shapefile.

5-Right click on your points shapefile and make a join with the output from point 4, which should be a table (beware with your primary key).

6-Go to the attribute table of your point shapefile and confirm that everything is ok.

I hope this helps 🙂

I'm looking for the same functionality. Dan's suggestion, which I've tried, doesn't work for multidimensional rasters.

Anyone got a solution?
