These are linear features I am talking about (read from a shapefile) that definitely have a 3D coordinate (it shows up in Data Inspector). I don't know if it matters but these features have measures enabled on them as well, all being nil.

In my simple testing, the LengthCalculator calculated correct 2D and 3D lengths. Input line: start (0, 0, 0) to end (0, 1, 1) Results: 2D length = 1 3D length = 1.4142135623731 When z-coordinates of all vertices of a line are the same value, 3D length will be equal to 2D length. Did you check z-coordinates of the line vertices?

If we got a 2d-line and would like to calculate the "true geodetic length" for the entire line and at the same time drape it onto a surface/DEM - how can we compute the length?
Thanks
