[Qgis-user] 3d viewer

Hi Ray,

Glad that it worked now.

Yes, 3D is a QGIS 3.x feature only. Also, it is still early stages for 
3D in QGIS. I expect several improvements in the upcoming releases.

Note that version 3 can also optionally save in .qgs - .qgz is just a 
.qgs in a zip file. But yes, compatibility is only towards a higher 
version, not the opposite way.

Greetings,

Andreas
