Summary – Get Elevation of Points using Dem file.
Instructions provided describe how to Get Elevation of Points using Dem files.
Two Steps:
- Interpolate 3d for the layer Using a dem file.
- Get Elevations to attribute table using Calculate Geometry tool.

Procedure
Interpolate 3d for the layer Using a dem file
Prepare Data:
- Load the Point Data.
- Load the Dem file.
Note : To get Elevation data in correct units Both the files should be projected to correct coordinate system which in my case is UTM 43.
Interpolate 3d data for the point file :
- Open Interpolate Shape tool (You can always use search window it’s awesome).
- Select dem file as Input Surface.
- Select point data as Input Feature Class.
- Change the output Location if you want.
- Click on OK to complete this.

Get Elevations to attribute table using Calculate Geometry tool
Interpolate 3d data for the point file copy, After Interpolation finishes:
- Open Attribute Table.
- Add a new Field to the Attribute table.
- Change the field type to double and OK.
- Right-click on the new column header and select calculate geometry.
- Select Z coordinate of point as property and hit OK to write all in the column.
Note: Unit of values would be default as per your projected coordinate system change it using Field Calculator.
Tadda done!!
