Convert 2D to 3D
This page describes the tool “Convert 2D to 3D”.
Tools > Convert 2D to 3D
Concepts
2D Vector data with point, line or area objects can be converted to 3D vector data using a 3D reference.
Source
Set the source vector file or directory via drag & drop or browse to the file location.
Target
Set the target file for the result dataset.
- Optionally when target file already exists, overwrite the existing file.
- Optionally when processing is completed, add converted resource automatically to the dataset list.
Options
- 3D Vertexes from Vertexes
All vertexes of the point, lines or area objects will be separately converted to 3D vertexes.
- 3D Boxes from Areas
- Vertical Areas from Segments
- Vertical Lines from Points
3D Reference
- Attribute Value
Select an attribute from the source vector file to be used as the height. - DEM Resource
- Fixed Height
- Pointcloud
Select the point cloud from the dropdown list. The search radius parameter defines the points around the object to be used to calculate the Z value.- Lowest Z
- Highest Z
- Average Z
Results
Objects that could not be converted to 3D are added to a new vector dataset <original_dataset_name+'_no3d.ovf'. Change the parameters and run the tool again to improve the results.
