I think 3D is still in it's infancy in the world of GIS, so for many things you have to things manually. If it's just visualizing, you may try to export them as X3D and open them in an X3D capable viewer. Regina made a first (impressive) effort on a viewer with this:

Hey, I went trough a similar quest recently. The only solution I found that worked easily was to export the 3D shapefile, and visualize it in an external software (in my case , CloudCompare ) Sadly it's difficult to find a mature x3d viewer. Cheers, Rémi-C 2015-07-08 13:22 GMT+02:00 Tom van

There's the Horao plugin[1] for QGIS that might let you view postgis 3d geometries. It can run stand-alone as well, without QGIS. It was developed for the SFCGAL 3D geometry types, but haven't tested on ...Z geometry types. Donovan [1] http://oslandia.github.io/horao/ On 07/07/15
