Wolfgang,

There are at least 2 ways of achieving this :

- use -nlt flag of ogr2ogr. For example if your src.shp contains 3D points : ogr2ogr dest.shp src.shp -nlt POINT. See http://gdal.org/ogr2ogr.html

- or, equivalently, use the SHPT creation option of the Shape driver : ogr2ogr dest.shp src.shp -lco SHPT=POINT. See http://gdal.org/ogr/drv_shapefile.html

Hi,

I hope that I'm on the correct mailing list. Otherwise please excuse my
posting here.

How can I flatten a 3D shapefile? The problem is, that a software, where
I need to import my shapefile, does not handle 3D shapfiles and
therefore it can only display 2D shapefiles. However my shp is generated
automatically and there is no option to flatten the shapes.

I just had a look at ogr2ogr but I did not figure out how to do this
task. Any ideas?

Best regards
Woflgang
