Delphi MapWinGis OGR Issues

Hello Alex. Thanks for your response.

I would very much like to get to the bottom of this. The OCX “should” handle the 3D (2.5D) data, so if there is a breakdown somewhere, I would like to get it resolved.

Notes:

  1. We rely on the GDAL driver for PostGIS for data retrieval and conversion. I believe that should be a robust driver, so I don’t expect any issues there.
  2. Can you tell me how PostGIS classifies the geometry types you are trying to load? (for example, PolylineZ, MultiPolygonZ)?
  3. The MapWindow5 program uses this OCX, so any issues with the OCX will also be present there.
  4. The Shapefile created by the GetBuffer command should not drop the Z values - they should still be present. Would you mind posting the Shapefile to this site? That would help me to analyze the problem. You should be able to just drag/drop it onto this post.
  5. Although I don’t use PostGIS, I use MS SQL Server quite a bit, and I should be able to set up a test

Thank you,
Jerry.
