The idea was to support complex geometries based on the ISO geometric spec (don't remember the number). The effort is stuck, the people that started it left years ago, honestly not sure if it even builds today. I've heard rumors of people interested in full 3d geometry support (as in solids) but nothing materialized so far. In a perfect world this module, or another, gets completed and then it can be moved into core and switch all the rest of the code to use those geometries instead of the JTS ones. In a even more perfect world JTS just learns to deal with 3d geometries and we don't have to change all the code base to use new stuff (well, besides handling the specifics of the 3d objects, topologies, tins and the like) Cheers Andrea -- ------------------------------------------------------- Ing.
