Expose AutoCAD 3D polyline z-value
I'm trying to import some AutoCAD contour lines and write them to a shapefile. I need the z-value to be included in the shapefile as an attribute. I've got the reader and an attributeExposer set up. I cannot seem to find which AutoCAD attribute is the z-value of the lines. I've tried writing all attributes that have a Z in the name, but each time the shape file has an empty elevation attribute. Any ideas?

Hi,
If the contour lines read from CAD are 3D geometries, you can use the ElevationExtractor transformer to extract z-value as an attribute.

Thanks, Takashi, that worked. So obvious, but alas, it was Friday afternoon!
