Name
ST_Force_3D — Forces the geometries into XYZ mode. This is an alias for ST_Force_3DZ.
Synopsis
geometry ST_Force_3D(geometry geomA);
Description
Forces the geometries into XYZ mode. This is an alias for ST_Force_3DZ. If a geometry has no Z component, then a 0 Z coordinate is tacked on.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
This method supports Circular Strings and Curves
Examples
--Nothing happens to an already 3D geometry
SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_Force_3D(ST_GeomFromEWKT('CIRCULARSTRING(1 1 2, 2 3 2, 4 5 2, 6 7 2, 5 6 2)')));
