Export contour lines as shp with values

Hello,

I created contour lines of a point cloud and exported them as a shapefile to open it in ArcMap. It opens successfully but I can't find any height values in the attribute table of the exported shape. My question is: How can export contour lines as .shp with height values included?

Thank you in advance

No, I meant to "compute/create" the contour polyline?

Hello Daniel,

Tools --> Projection --> Rasterize --> Contour Plot --> Generate --> Export --> Close
Afterwards I save the contour plot as a .shp file.
