Assign Elevation to a Map Feature from Feature properties.

[nikoue]

I have some shape files witch contain contour lines.

They appear as linestrings, but they have not a Z value. The Z value appears as a feature property with a Name witch in my case is "CONTOUR" and the value is a number witch represent the contour elevation.

When i try to create geometry from Feature it extract a polyline with a 0 Elevation.

How can i assign the feature property "Contour: as an elevation to the extracted polylines?

I want to do this with an automatic way with all the linestrings.

Thank you for your answers.

Instead of thanks I'll take the Kudos, I can use those like Green Stamps and am a little short on getting the new liquid pen set. 🙂
