Specify the Z resolution that will be used for processing and set to the output geodataset.

Usage tips
- If the output is a feature class inside a feature dataset, the environment will be ignored because all geodatasets inside a feature dataset must have the same Z resolution.
- If the output is a standalone feature class, raster catalog, or feature dataset, the tolerance of the input will be used as the processing and set as the output feature class' Z resolution. For tools that have multiple inputs (Intersect for example), the resolution of the first geodataset in the list will be used as the default. To override these defaults, set the Z resolution environment to the desired value.
- If the geoprocessing tool does not have an input geodataset (for example, Create Feature Class, Create Feature Dataset, and Create Raster Catalog) and if the environment is left blank, the default Z resolution is set to 0.001 units. To override this default, set the environment to the desired value.
