Projecting multidimensional raster creates single raster layer, not multidimensional output

Question

I have a multidimensional raster layer in WGS 84 which I created with no issues from a NetCDF file in ArcGIS pro (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/multidimension/make-multidimensional-raster-layer.htm). The problem is I will eventually need to run the make space time cube tool from multidimensional raster layer tool (https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/space-time-pattern-mining/createcubefrommdrasterlayer.htm) which only takes equal area input.

To use this tool I first want to project my multidimensional layer to equal area, but the problem is the project raster tool produces a raster layer, not an output multidimensional raster layer.

Here is some metadata on my input layer:

which highlights how it is multidimensional, and here is the output after projecting to an equal area:

which is no longer multidimensional.

Is it possible to project a multidimensional raster layer to a new multidimensional layer?

Answer 1

Sorry that this is two years late, but to output a CRF using the "project raster" tool, just add ".crf" to the name of the output raster in the "Output Raster Dataset" field.

The ArcGIS webpage for "Project Raster" states:

This tool supports multidimensional raster data. To run the tool on each slice in the multidimensional raster and generate a multidimensional raster output, be sure to save the output to CRF.

and:

When storing the raster dataset in a file format, specify the file extension...
