2DForcer

Removes z coordinates from features.

Jump to Configuration

Typical Uses

  • Converting 3D geometries to 2D

  • Optimizing performance when z coordinates are not needed

How does it work?

The 2DForcer receives any geometry type and removes any z coordinates, converting 3D features to 2D.

Features without z coordinates are passed through unchanged.

Point clouds will be reduced to their bounding cube’s footprint.

Raster features, including digital elevation models, are considered 2D and will pass through unchanged.
