[Qgis-user] 3D dxf files

[Siki Zoltan]

Dear Matt,

I've tested your dxf files in QGIS 2.0
Otway_Basin_curves.dxf loaded successfully (2D polylines)
Otway_Basin_Faults-basin.dxf not loaded, 3D faces are not suported by GDAL 
DXF driver
Otway_Basin_Faults-shallow.dxf not loaded 3D faces
Otway_Basin_Granites-magnetics.dxf not loaded 3D faces
Otway_Basin_Granites-gravity.dxf not loaded 3D faces

You should find another way to import 3D faces from a dxf file.

Regards,
Zoltan
