Hi Chris!
It is a bit hard to understand what you have done just from the images. What 
have you done different in the two attempts? Why are they different? And why 
can’t you use the brown one if it is working correctly? Does the pink layer 
allow z-geometries?

Ämne: [Qgis-user] Polygons with heights

I'm trying to make a road bridge over a railway by making a gentle embanked 
slope up to the bridge, then a slope down. So I make the polygon (with z 
values) to represent the plan shape (see first attachment). The attachment 
shows two attempts, one brown, one pink. When I now do a 3d view with 
Qgis2threejs, we see the second attachment. The brown bridge is correctly 
represented, but the pink bridge has the wrong shape.

Why are they different, how do we get the brown shape rather than the pink one?

I next want to raise the bridge to the raster layer. I managed to do this with 
the brown shape by firstly raising the polygon to the raster (I forget exactly 
how this was done, but I think I used the drape function, then raised some of 
the vertices by the required amount). Draping the pink one does not raise the 
z-values.  I also tried the Sample raster values function, but this crashed the 
QGIS session.

What I'm trying to do looks to be quite a simple and natural thing - maybe 
there is a clean way to do it in QGIS, but I've not been able to find it ...

Thanks!
