3D Polygon

[Rahkonen Jukka]

Hi,
 
I suspect your precompiled Mapserver does not support 3D shapefiles.  At least my, a bit old MS4W Mapserver does not.  You may want to try converting your shapefile to normal 2D shapefile with ogr2ogr by using the switch:
-nlt POLYGON.
 
Regards,

I have tried using TYPE POLYGON in this LAYER but mapserver keeps showing the error message:

msDrawShapes() General error message. Only polygon shapes can be drawn using a POLYGON layer definition.

I am using mapserver version 4.8.4 from the precompiled pack that is distributed from maptools.org. I can use TYPE LINE for the LAYER without getting any error but that doesn't result to the map I want to show.Any ideas?

Thank you for the response!

	You should just use TYPE POLYGON. Note I think you need Mapserver 4.6 or 
	greater, best to try with the latest release (4.8.X).
	
	Btw, Mapserver has a compile option determining whether or not it will 
	pick up Z and M values.
	
	# If you want to use shape Z and M parameter this option must be set.
	# It's OFF by default.
	#USE_POINT_Z_M=-DUSE_POINT_Z_M
	USE_POINT_Z_M=
	
	Best regards,
