Comment (by nbvfgh):

 Since there is currently no implementation of 3DContains or 3DWithin (at
 least I haven't seen it in the documentation), I have a simple suggestion.
 For ST_3DDFullyWithin (a, b, dis), you can use ST_3DClosestPoint(a. b) to
 first calculate the cloest point from geometry a to geometry b, then use
 ST_3DMaxDistance(p, b) to calculate the maximum distance from the point p
 to geometry b, and finally compare the obtained distance with dis.

 That is, ST_3DDFullyWithin (a, b, dis) <=>
 ST_3DMaxDistance(ST_3DClosestPoint(a, b), b) <= dis.
 The same applies to 2D.
