Hi,
I have a situation where I have a polygon feature with x,y values for all vertices that I want to keep. Now I want to raise some of them and give them z value. However, I don't want to assign the z-value for all vertices manually since there are a lot of them. For example, I want to raise Vertex 1 (+ 1m) and Vertex 5 (+ 4m). Vertex 2,3,4 should then get a z-value assuming there is a straight line between Vertex 1 and 5.
Is there a tool that I can use to achieve this? The only way I have found is to raise all vertices that should have a given z-value, then remove and again add vertices inbetween and move them back to x,y position. This would be an acceptable solution if there weren't so many vertices in my feature.
Thanks in advance!

It is still manual but via Edit > Edit Vertices you can assign a Z value to vertices you have selected.
Select the line or polygon and all vertices will appear (my example also shows parts from a multipart feature)
Next you can select the vertices in the list or in the map.
Click on the Z and you can assign a new Z value to the selected vertices
There's a way to change the z's of selected vertices while maintaining their relative positions, which is part of what you are asking for:
- Add the polygon layer to a local scene view.
- Open Edit Vertices and select the polygon.
- Select the vertices you want to update.
- Make sure Stretch Proportionately is turned off on the toolbar (this is required in order to use the H key shortcut in the next step).
- Hold the H key while dragging one of the vertices to the desired height (this is the shortcut to change just the height of the selected vertices)
This might help you. I'm not sure.
