I am reading some data from a ESRI based web GIS and need to convert them to DWG. The data contains XYZ data, but the Z-values are missing when opening the DWG in CAD-software.

 

I got Z-values before writing:

Are your Z values being passed through each of your transformers. In other words, if you inspect the features coming out of the Reprojector, are your Z values still present?

I solved the problem by moving the DWGStyler before SurfaceDraper. It looks like the DWGStyler forced the feature to be 2D some how.
