I have a few feature classes in an sde that need to be z enabled but are connected to related tables, attachments etc. which need to be preserved that way. The ideal thing would be if each can be "upgraded" with z values, rather than being recreated.</P> Wed, 01 Feb 2023 19:26:40 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1254023#M64955 jchester73 2023-02-01T19:26:40Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1254043#M64961 <P>Not my knowledge.&nbsp; The Z-field is created with a new feature class with zero data in it or running the Feature Class to Feature Class GP tool.&nbsp; No "upgrade" as of yet...</P> Wed, 01 Feb 2023 20:14:27 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1254043#M64961 Robert_LeClair 2023-02-01T20:14:27Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1408520#M81716 <P>Definitely would like to get behind this idea. As we aim to develop our Digital Twin, we certainly don't want to have to proliferate data sets (thousands) in our enterprise geodatabases. We need a user friendly method to move to a 3D GIS implementation.</P> Thu, 11 Apr 2024 14:18:48 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1408520#M81716 RossFindlayCOC 2024-04-11T14:18:48Z https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1408575#M81722 <P>In reviewing this post, I came across several workflows that may work to convert 2D features into 3D features.&nbsp; This Esri Support <A href="https://support.esri.com/en-us/knowledge-base/enable-attribute-and-edit-features-with-z-values-146248-000012292#:~:text=1%20Use%20the%20Raster%20to%20Point%20geoprocessing%20tool,now%20appended%20to%20the%20feature%20class%20table.%20" target="_self">document</A> was originally created for ArcMap users but there is one tool in particular that will convert 2D features into a 3D feature class called Interpolate Shape.&nbsp; You can read more about the details <A href="https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/tool-reference/spatial-analyst/how-interpolate-shape-works.htm" target="_self">here</A>.</P> Thu, 11 Apr 2024 16:02:32 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/enable-z-values-on-existing-feature-class/m-p/1408575#M81722 Robert_LeClair 2024-04-11T16:02:32Z
