Hi, I am looking for an efficient way of clipping around 60 MODIS scenes (or general raster cutting) using one polygon without having to do it on a singular basis which will take a while. I will also need to automatically name the subset images sequentially.
Put the Clip tool in a model, and use the Iterate Rasters tool to loop through the input scenes and have them all clipped to the same shapefile geometry. The Iterate Rasters tool has two outputs: Output Raster and Name, which could be used as in-line variable %Name% in other tools (mainly Clip for your case). This is how you get the sequentially named outputs you desire.
Many thanks for your reply. Your instructions sound straight-forward, however I am using ArcGIS 9.3 and don't have the Iterative Raster tool. I am new to the ModelBuilder, is there anything else that you can suggest?
Iterators are only available in ArcGIS 10.0. Pre 10.0, you can right click on the tool and select Batch. The other option is to write a loop in Python.
