Populating the z-value with a bias

With the Populate Z for selected features tool, you can modify the z-values on existing features by adjusting them using a specified value. For example, if you indicate that the z-value should be adjusted by 10, the z-values on the vertices on the selected features are reduced by a value of 10.
