I have a polyline with 10 vertices at A-B-C-D-E-F. The distance between vertices varys and i know the elevation of A and F (200 and 120) is there a way to assign elevation to B-C-D-E? Without manually calculating the height difference.

Create a 2 point line and set the start and end z values as needed, then use Edit Vertices to add vertices while snapping along the line. The new vertices will have interpolated Z values based on the elevation of the start and end vertex:

Does that help?
