Create RasterDEM from shapefiles

Hello all, I'm just trying to automate a process by creating a DEM with a shapefile which has elevation attribute to it. Once I've got it working with one shapefile I'd like to add further shapefiles. I've tried using the DEMGenerator and the RasterDEM but when checking the output (.tif) in the inspector instead of seeing a raster with a value from 0 to 100 for example it has a value of 0? I can see the data looks fine before it goes into the DEMGenerator and after selecting the attribute with the elevation it appears to then have a value of 0 for some reason so perhaps I'm missing something from the configuration?

I can do this in ArcMap fine but I'm just wanting to streamline this process. Thanks in advance

@articmurf

 

did you add the 3rd dimension to the shapefiles?Is the elevation attribute an actual z value?

If not then use 3dforcer with the elevation attribute.
