Z (geometry)#
The Z (elevation) value of the instance. The semantics of the elevation value are user-defined.
Syntax#
.Z
Arguments#
arg_name
arg_comment
Return type#
float
Remarks#
The value of this property will be null if the geometry instance is not a point, as well as for any Point instance for which it is not set.
Z-coordinates are not used in any calculations made by the library and is not carried through any library calculations.
Example#
Create a Point instance with Z (elevation) and M (measure) values and use Z to fetch the Z value of the instance.
DECLARE @g geometry;
SET @g = geometry::STGeomFromText('POINT(1 2 3 4)', 0);
SELECT @g.Z;
