Hi PostGIS folks,

I'm trying to find a way to read two 3-dimensional polygons and test if they 
intersect. It's for a radar-bird-tracking application. I'm hoping that PostGIS 
is a solution.

I've been scanning the Mailing list archives, and I gather that at least some 
of the spatial operations which PostGIS provides are 3d-enabled. Which 
surprises me, as my understanding was that PostGIS spatial operations descend 
from the Java Topological Suite via GEOS, and JTS advertises itself as being 
specifically for 2-d linear modelling.

Could I count on the ST_Intersects function to work with 3d data? Would there 
likely be any special considerations for 3d?

cheers,

Hugh
