Hi Claus,

assume we have a matrix with xy values: XY and a vector with z values: 

Z. First we Flatten XY to a list of xy pairs. Then we append to every 

pair the corresponding z value. Finally we restructure the matrix:

Partition[  MapThread[Append,{Flatten[XY,1],Z}]  ,3]

hope this helps, Daniel
