Okay, let me rephrase the question. I did look at ogr2ogr, csv file import. I have a 3D line, but only the beginning vertex has x,y,z. The line is a survey of a cave, so only the entrance has a latitude, longitude, and z coordinate. The rest are relative to the control point. Any suggestions on how to import that?

Hi, I'm a beginner user.
Is it possible to import a 3D line into QGIS? I have the text file with distance, compass, and azimuth and want to have it show as a shapefile(?) in 3 dimensions inside QGIS. How would I go about doing that? Also, correct me, don't I have to use the correct datum to show 3d. Like WGS84? I don't think NAD83 can handle 3D?

thanks,
Tom
