Identify the problem in the original code, which needs more information and an edit to the question, per the comments. Or deal with just fixing your current data. To do that you'll need tables anyway - your shapefiles aren't really valid with no valid geometry, so essentially they already are tables. You might be able to use them (or their dbfs) directly as inputs, but ultimately the quickest route is the Make XY Event Layer (Data Management) tool. | |

Exporting to table then back to shapefile is certainly an option though. It's not the z-non-inclusion that's the problem through, it's that there is no coordinate information in the point geometry (however a duplicate was made in the attribute table for x,y,z columns that wrote fine) | |

| Nov 13, 2014 at 1:38 | comment | added | Michael Stimson | If you are doing this as a one off, export the table and then right click in catalog - select Create Feature Class > From XY Table which will allow you to select the 'z' coordinate for 3d data. It would be much faster than writing code updating the Z. If you're looking to fix your original code you need to do shape@x, shape@y and shape@z on your insert cursor, not just shape@xy. If you want to fix your original code please post some so we can see where you're not including the Z. | |
