Although this function works with Z-coordinate, it does an averaging of Z-Coordinate values when <code>postgis.backend=geos</code>. <code>postgis.backend=sfcgal</code>, it will return a 2D geometry regardless ignoring the Z-Coordinate. Refer to <xref linkend="postgis_backend" /> for details.</para></warning>
