Name

CG_Extrude — Extrude a surface to a related volume

Synopsis

geometry CG_Extrude(geometry geom, float x, float y, float z);

Description

Availability: 3.5.0

This method needs SFCGAL backend.

This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).

Examples

3D images were generated using PostGIS ST_AsX3D and rendering in HTML using X3Dom HTML Javascript rendering library.

SELECT ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(100 90)'),
                                    50, 'quad_segs=2'),0,0,30);

Original octagon formed from buffering point

CG_Extrude(ST_Buffer(ST_GeomFromText('POINT(100 90)'),
                                50, 'quad_segs=2'),0,0,30);

Hexagon extruded 30 units along Z produces a PolyhedralSurfaceZ

SELECT ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(50 50, 100 90, 95 150)')

Original linestring

SELECT CG_Extrude(
                            ST_GeomFromText('LINESTRING(50 50, 100 90, 95 150)'),0,0,10));

LineString Extruded along Z produces a PolyhedralSurfaceZ
