Name
ST_LocateBetweenElevations — Returns the portions of a geometry that lie in an elevation (Z) range.
Synopsis
geometry ST_LocateBetweenElevations(geometry geom, float8 elevation_start, float8 elevation_end);
Description
Returns a geometry (collection) with the portions of a geometry that lie in an elevations (Z) range.
Clipping a non-convex POLYGON may produce invalid geometry.
Availability: 1.4.0
Enhanced: 3.0.0 - added support for POLYGON, TIN, TRIANGLE.
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
