Assign z coordinates to polyline verteces from underlying points

Hi,

I have 2 data sets (shape-files). A point dataset with 3d-points or at least points where the elevation is stored in an attribute field (different data quality) and a polyline dataset with 2d-lines whose vertices are identical to the points from the point dataset. Is there a way to assign the elevations from the point datasets to the line vertices and then create 3d polylines from them?

Thanks for your help

Yes, you can use the SurfaceDraper to do that. Send your 3d points to its Points/Lines input, no need to input breaklines.

If the points are not 3D yet you can use a 3DForcer to do that.
