I have a DWG file with 3D polylines that I want to write to Shape file with an attribute for the elevation.  I cannot see this attribute in the Reader anywhere.  There are lots of Format Attributes but nothing stands out as being the Z value I need.  Any thoughts?

Hi,

 

 

have you looked at the ElevationExtractor? It will extract the Z-value from the first coordinate of your polyline and store it as an attribute value.
