Convert Vertex Type (2D/3D)

Description

The tool allows one to convert the vertex type of shapes from 'XY' (2D) to 'XYZ/M' (3D) and vice versa. The conversion from 3D to 2D is not lossless for lines and polygons, as only the Z/M value of one vertex can be retained (currently that of the last vertex).

Parameters

	Name	Type	Identifier	Description	Constraints

Output	Output	shapes, output	`OUTPUT`	The converted shapefile.	-
Options	Z	table field	`FIELD_Z`	Field with z-coordinate information.	-
Options	M	table field	`FIELD_M`	Field with measure information.	-
