When working with geometric objects that include elevation data (Z-values), you can control how these Z-values are handled when snapping to other objects. The Handle Z-value when snapping function allows you to choose how elevation data should be managed when connecting or adjusting geometry.

The function provides three different copying methods to choose from:

•Copy Z-value - The Z-value from the snapping point is copied and assigned to the new geometry. This is useful when you want the new geometry to exactly match the height of the point it snaps to.

•Ignore Z-value - The new geometry retains its original Z-value, or no Z-value at all if it lacks elevation data. This option is most commonly used in 2D environments where elevation data is not relevant.

•Copy Z-value with editing - The Z-value is copied from the snapping point, but you can edit it before it is applied. This is practical when manual adjustments to Z-values are needed, such as correcting minor deviations or customizing the Z-value.
