problem is that the clients (Qgis and Udig) can not display them (AFAIK). I was
working with some polinesM recently and I keep two geometries, one with the M’s
for the analysis and one without the M’s for display (using force_2d
function to convert them). So you actually converted the layer, just
cannot display it, but everything else should work.</span></font></p>

Does uDig support 3-dimensional geometries? I couldn't view your<br>
original geometry with uDig or QGIS but I was able to view a<br>
2-dimensional version returned by st_force_2d().<br>
