Assigning elevation to a contour shapefile

Question

Hi,

I have a digitized contour shapefile (polygon) that I'm trying to assign an elevation. The contour line was traced from a construction drawing (.jpeg) that I have imported into ArcGIS.

I tried using the edit z-value feature tool but that didn’t work for me. I wasn’t able to assign an elevation to it. Elevation is still showing as zero. I have attached a screenshot of my contour shapefile and inputs in Create Feature Class and Edit Vertices. Just wondering if there’s something that I’ve done incorrectly? Can someone advise me on this?

Thank you,

Jason
