Default Output Z Value (Environment setting)

Tools that honor this environment will set the z-coordinate for each output vertex that does not already have a z-coordinate.

For example, if using the Merge tool with two feature classes, one that is z aware and one that is not, the default output z-value (or 0, if the environment is not set) will be assigned only to the vertices that originated from the input feature class that was not z aware.
