I configured a point layer's "Elevation" to using "Z-value" mode "Relative to ground". 

In editing mode, there's only horizontal move tool, no vertical tool available.

Hi @BrandonGuo 

For changing a feature's Z position, you'd need the following: 

  • The Feature Layer needs to be created so that it has Z-values enabled.
    If that's not so, it would show up like on your screenshot, i.e. without the vertical tool. 
  • For the vertical tool to show up in Scene Viewer (provided the layer has Z-values enabled) you need the layer's Elevation setting to be either Relative to ground, Relative to scene, or Absolute height.
    If the Elevation setting is On the ground, it would show up like on your screenshot, i.e. without the vertical tool. 
  • To change the feature's Z values, you'll also need to turn on the tooltips. This can be done under the settings of the Editor pane:

    Then, as long as your layer has Z values enabled, also the Z field will show up (this is independent of the elevation mode, i.e. the Z can be edited even in the On the ground mode where the vertical tool isn't otherwise shown):

Hope this helps you further!

Thanks, @GreteSoosalu I see what's the issue now. My original feature service does not have Z value. I added Z value through Pro and overwrite the feature service. Might be a bug, the view layer still doesn't have Z value after the overwrite. Fixed by uploading a new feature service and using replace view source function.
