[postgis-users] Is there any way to find and select parallel lines in 3D?

[Marcin Mionskowski]

*Have a look at
https://postgis.net/docs/PostGIS_Special_Functions_Index.html#PostGIS_3D_Functions
<https://postgis.net/docs/PostGIS_Special_Functions_Index.html#PostGIS_3D_Functions>*

*especially ST_3DDWithin and ST_3DDFullyWithin.*
*ST_Intersects(geomA,ST_Buffer(geomB,tolerance)) is basically the same as
ST_DWithin(geomA,geomB,tolerance).*
*And for segments, I can't explain it better than first hit of duckduckgo
search for 3d lines parallel
