Selecting features by z-values

Dieses Thema gilt nur für ArcEditor und ArcInfo.

When interacting with a map, you may want to select features based on elevation. The Select By Z Value tool allows you to query data layers using z-values, then select features based on them.

For instance, suppose you want to see how many bridges have an elevation of 100. You could create a new selection set and choose BridgeL as the selectable layer, then only features with a z-value of 100 would be selected in the map.
