    <p>Hi Ray,</p>
    <p>Glad that it worked now.</p>
    <p>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.</p>
    <p>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.<br>

    <p>Greetings,</p>
