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.

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.

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