[Qgis-user] wkt multipoint via delimited text requires internal parens

[Andreas Plesch]

Hi

Using 2.18.3, I found that Add Delimited Text Layer required a WKT of the
form:

MULTIPOINT Z ((-119.00 34.82 1487),(-119.01 34.81 1450))

rather than just

MULTIPOINT Z (-119.00 34.82 1487,-119.01 34.81 1450)

without the internal parentheses which is also allowed, and perhaps more
common.

I searched through the bug tracker for 'MULTIPOINT' but could not find a
relevant issue.

Did anybody come across this ?

On a related note, I did this in order to convert a LINESTRINGZ to POINTZ
since the Extract Nodes tool did not preserve Z. CSV Exporting, text
editing and reimporting as MULTIPOINTZ seemed the easiest option. Is there
another option ?

Thanks, Andreas
