[postgis-users] Import 3D Geometry into PostGIS 2.x

[Frank Henze]

Hello Bobb,
and hello to all the 3D people,

thank you for the only answer!
Your suggestion is a very good idea! However, I have not found a way to 
convert 3DFACEs into 3D polygons (in AutoCAD).

And another Idea: would it be better to store 3DFACEs as 
PolyhedralSurface in PostGIS?
Does anyone have experience with this? And there are tools for that?

Best regards
Frank
