My organization does not use Z values and I should be able to disable them entirely. I have encountered more problems with tools failing because of a null Z value than not and we don't even utilize them.
edit: running Repair Geometry doesn't really help, as I could run it every single time I make an edit and still run into this problem. The fabric I'm working on passed Repair Geometry before attempting to use Copy Parcels, then Copy Parcels failed with a null Z value error.
So your data is z-enabled, meaning the Shape field shows PolygonZ, PolylineZ, PointZ?
To disable z values in the data, see How To: Remove Z- and/or M-values from a feature class
If there is a problem specific to Copy Parcels, that may need to be reported as a bug rather than idea.
It looks like this has been requested before without much traction, https://community.esri.com/t5/data-management-ideas/enable-disable-3d-to-2d-geometry/idi-p/940748 , though I'm not even sure if it is a possibility at the geodatabase level.
All parcel fabric feature classes are Z enabled.
@anna_garrett This is the first time we hear of such problems.
1. What type of problems did you encounter?
2. Did you submit a technical support case (bug)?
I'm running into problems where a tool will fail (it's been several) because there's a null z value. I should be able to disable z values across the board if our organization doesn't use elevation/height values in our data.
I am running in the same issue. I started having this today on a test parcel fabric. This issue started after I ran the applied a least squares adjustment to the fabric.
These are the issues I am dealing with now.
I am going to probably put this in ideas. Do not allow the use the LSA when the topology is turned off.
Sometimes the error message is correct and sometimes it's wrong.
Sometimes it's a software issue (bug) and sometimes a data issue.
The only way we can determine it is if you submit a technical support case with the data and steps to reproduce it. Could you please submit it?
@anna_garrett COuld you please provide the case # so we can follow up with technical support?
Please report any issues you encounter to technical support.
We are making changes to treat parcels as 2D where applicable.
