This page describes the method for extracting ground elevation (or any other variable) from raster files or polygon attribute using "Point Sampling Tool". This method is useful when you want to:
* Extract ground elevation for theat points snapped to breaklines
* Define ground elevation forat 1D nodes/pits snapped to 1D channel/pipes
* etc...
In the example below, the "Z" attribute (ground elevation) forof the 2d_zsh point layer in the [[Tutorial_Module03Tutorial_M11 | TUFLOW Tutorial 0311]] is extracted from the DEM file.
