Crop multidimensional raster to exact shape

FrankOuyang — Tue, 19 Jul 2022 01:32:29 GMT

Is there any geoprocessing function that can crop multidimensional raster (CRF and multidimnesional raster service) to its exact shape? By exact shape, I mean actual shape of the input feature not its extent. For example, cropping the raster to cover the exact boarder line of a country.

I have tried following raster processing functions in ArcGIS Pro (v2.9.3) but they didn't really match my expectation:

Clip Raster: Only crop to the extent of the input feature, similar to setting up the processing extent when using subset multidimensional raster function.
Extract by Mask: only crop out the first raster inside the multidimensional raster, not the whole series.

Is there any other function that will work? Or should I develop a geoprocessing process? Such as breaking down multidimensional raster to individual tiff, extract by mask and then recreate multidimensional raster. But I think that can be a very tedious process.

Clip Raster (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

it doesn't work for multidimensional rasters?

Use Input Features for Clipping Geometry
(Optional)
Specifies whether the data will be clipped to the minimum bounding rectangle or to the geometry of the feature class.

Unchecked—The minimum bounding rectangle will be used to clip the data.
Checked—The geometry of the specified feature class will be used to clip the data. The pixel depth of the output may be increased; ensure that the output format can support the proper pixel depth.

It doesn't say extent, it say geometry

Acutally works.. I thought I have ticked the Use Input Features for Clipping Geometry but acutally I haven't. So it works! Thanks!

for me it did not work. It just make a raster of one layer not the 365
