ST_AsText(Geometry) returns the WKT representation according to OGC standards, which does not include 3D values.

Try PostGIS's WKT extension instead: ST_AsEWKT(Geometry)

Hi,

I have a 3D Shapefile, which I am trying to export to a PostGIS table.

This is the an extract from the ogrinfo on the shape file :

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ogrinfo -so streets3d_new_shps/ testogr

Geometry: 3D Line String

Feature Count: 49746

Extent: (610869.384850, 196653.348553) - (676816.248304, 258102.572101)

Layer SRS WKT:

PROJCS["Lambert Conformal Conic",

    GEOGCS["grs80",

        DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",

SPHEROID["Geodetic_Reference_System_1980",6378137,298.257222101]],

        PRIMEM["Greenwich",0],

        UNIT["degree",0.0174532925199433]],

    PROJECTION["Lambert_Conformal_Conic_2SP"],

I exported this shapefile to PostGIS table and this is the result of this
query :
select astext(the_geom) from streets_3d where gid=1; :

"MULTILINESTRING((625304.649659493 214113.544271209,625301.199687227
214078.520974251,625299.489760683 214056.176602372,625299.289850496
214050.649031119))"

And this is the resulting query from the streets table which is the normal
2D table :

select astext(the_geom) from streets where gid=1; :

"MULTILINESTRING((625304.649659493 214113.544271209,625301.199687227
214078.520974251,625299.489760683 214056.176602372,625299.289850496
214050.649031119))"

Any idea what I can do so I can start using elevation on this table please?
Any help will be extremely appreciated

Regards

Matthew
