Name
ST_Force3D — Force the geometries into XYZ mode. This is an alias for ST_Force3DZ.
Synopsis
geometry ST_Force3D(geometry geomA, float Zvalue = 0.0);
Description
Forces the geometries into XYZ mode. This is an alias for ST_Force3DZ. If a geometry has no Z component, then a Zvalue Z coordinate is tacked on.
Enhanced: 2.0.0 support for Polyhedral surfaces was introduced.
Changed: 2.1.0. Up to 2.0.x this was called ST_Force_3D.
Changed: 3.1.0. Added support for supplying a non-zero Z value.
This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.
This method supports Circular Strings and Curves
This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.
Examples
--Nothing happens to an already 3D geometry
SELECT ST_AsEWKT(ST_Force3D(ST_GeomFromEWKT('CIRCULARSTRING(1 1 2, 2 3 2, 4 5 2, 6 7 2, 5 6 2)')));
