I'm having some trouble creating a 3D topology using totopogeom method, I don't know if I'm not using the functions correctly or if there's indeed a bug, so any help would be appreciated.</div>

I reduced the problem to an example with two lines.</div>

The first line is added with no errors to the topology but the second one throws this error "Corrupted topology: ring of edge -3 is geometrically not-closed".</div>

The second line intersects with the first one, but there's no vertex on the intersection.</div>

I found two workarounds but both of them have some disadvantages in my point of view.</div>

The first one was to add manually a vertex on the intersection (this involves someone doing that work manually).</div>

The other one was to add the start and end point of every line using topogeo_addpoint before calling totopogeom (this involves remembering to do this every time that I create a topology and I think it's redundant and overhead for most cases).</div>

Not having much knowledge of the c code base, just looking at the code surrounding the error (<a href="https://www.postgis.net/docs/doxygen/3.0/d6/d03/lwgeom__topo_8c_source.html" id="LPlnk119426">https://www.postgis.net/docs/doxygen/3.0/d6/d03/lwgeom__topo_8c_source.html</a>),
my wild guess is that when it creates the ring of the newly closed area, and as there is no vertex on the intersection so no snap made, the ring is closed on 2D dimension but there is a 3D gap that makes the ring not geometrically closed. My reasoning for
this is that the same data with a 2D topology has no errors and if I reverse the insertion order (there would be a node on the intersection), it also works. I can also be completely wrong.</div>
