I have a 3D vector [test_3D] created using v.drape, confirmed as 3D with
v.info. I used v.split to split the polyline at the vertices:

v.split input=test_3D output=test_3D_split vertices=2

The resulting vector [test_3D_split] is a 2D vector (i.e. it lost the z geometry data according to v.info, and v.to.db reports all slopes = 0).

This happens due to the fact that the new vector file (output) is opened
without the Z geometry:

cd v.split/
grep open * | grep new
main.c:    Vect_open_new(&Out, out_opt->answer, 0);

Is this intended behavior?

Certainly not ideal. I don't know if changing to

 Vect_open_new(&Out, out_opt->answer, WITH_Z);

would be sufficient (of course recompile after that). If you could
provide a test case with the Spearfish or North Carolina test
datasets, I could try if you aren't able to compile GRASS yourself
to test above suggestion.

Markus, I would appreciate if you would be able to compile and test for me. Here is a Spearfish example that shows the same behavior (using v.info to test 2D/3D vector status).

v.drape input=t_hydro rast=elevation.dem output=t_hydro_3D method=cubic
v.split input=t_hydro_3D output=t_hydro_split vertices=2

Thanks, -Dwight
