Hello all,

 

I have a DEM file I am working with. I want to take a polygon of a water body and remove those elevations from the elevation dataset.  What I want to do would be similar to the erase tool but instead of vector data I am working with raster. The DEM file would look something similar to a donut after this. So far I have come up empty-handed as I try to figure this out. 

Does anyone know how to do this or know of a work-around? 

 

Thanks,

convert the polygon to a raster using the same extent, cell size and alignment etc.

You can use the Con tool in arctoolbox to remove the elevations in the water body

Con (Spatial Analyst)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

Con("Lake", "Elev", 0)  # if you want to set the value to 0

or

Setting values to NoData with Set Null—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation

SetNull("Lake", "Elev")

Please ensure you are using Clip function (not Clip Geoprocessing tool).

Where are you using the clip type options for inside or outside? This is the raster clip function but I do not see that option for outside/inside.
