Goal:

Extract elevation data (Data B) based on given point file locations (Data A).

Current problem:

I have several sets of xyz data for large areas with a resolution of 1m. I converted those to Point Data (Data B). When I apply the approach of (1) Point to Raster, (2) Extract Points from Raster it requires a lot of time for the geoprocessing. That's why I'm searching for a way to bypass the rasterprocessing.

I was wondering if its possible to just assign the elevation of the closest points (Data B) to my target points (Data A)?

I found some similar questions, but none of them discussing which method is the fastest and most of them were handled in QGIS, while I work with ArcGIS 10.7:

    So you have a raster with elevation? Do you need Data A to be z-enabled or do you just need the elevation field populated? This is not quite clear. – danak Feb 11 '20 at 16:26
  • Hi @danak. No I dont have an elevation raster. What I have are point information with elevations – Olli Feb 12 '20 at 08:13
  • Spatial Join tool might help – user2856 Jul 19 '20 at 21:43
