Using find in a 4D matrix

I have multiple 9 x 96 x 14 x 1356 matrixes. I want to find when one of them meets a certain criteria and then select the same indexes on the other matrixes.
I did this and looked liked it worked...
idx = find(neutral<24.5);
[r, c, v, l] = ind2sub(size(neutral),idx);
With this, I get a r, c, v, l with 4411652 x 1 each, instead of a 4D logical matrix, which was what I was expecting (like what happens with a 2D matrix when using find).
I tried using those indexes to cut my other variables, but I could't do it.
temp_AT = temp(r,c,v,l);
Thanks!

Do you really need it to be 4D logical? If not, you can directly use the indices.
Not necessarily... I just need a way to use the information (neutral<24.5) to select the other 4D variables... And this is the way I know how to do it (in 2D matrixes). But I am open to suggestions...
d = other4Darray(neutral < 24.5) %assuming both arrays are same size
% d will be a vector
idx = find(neutral<24.5);
% d(i) comes from the index idx(i)
this kind of works... but I get the same result as I put in my question (4411652 x 1 matrix). I need it to keep the 4D format...
When you remove or isolate elements from an array, they no longer have the same shape unless you're indexing all of the data. Here's a simple example.
d = [2, 3, 2;
5, 2, 2];
idx = d == 2; %same shape as d
d(idx) % a vector with 4 elements, not 6!
If you're trying to get rid of data and maintain the shape of the data, you can replace unwanted data with NaNs (or any other value).
d = [2, 3, 2;
5, 2, 2];
idx = d == 2; %same shape as d
d(~idx) = NaN; % same shape as d!

neutral<24.5
is the 4d logical matrix. No need for find()

+1 (moving my inferior answer here)
idx = find(neutral < 24.5);
logIdx = false(size(neutral)); %Logical index (default: all false)
logIdx(idx) = true; %Set 'idx' indices as true
Thank you! This also worked!
