How to set Z values for a feature class

Question

I've seen the sample GIS tutorial data published for GIS Network analyst where a building floor plans are designated as subtypes and ESRI has used internal feature to set the base heights for first, second and third floors. How is it possible I tried assigning the Z values but could not able to establish any z values. Help me in assigning heights for the different floors using the same feature class instead of using different feature classes.

Any chance there is a solution that doesn't require the 3D analyst extension? Any scripts out there perchance?

Refer to my recent post here:

If you have an elevation field in your feature class, there is a Geoprocessing tool that allows you to create feature into a 3D feature. This can be found in ArcToolbox>3D Features<Feature to 3D By Attribute. Input your existing feature class with a field that contains elevations, select where the new feature class will be output, and specify the field that contains the elevations.

Hope this helps.
