I have geometry of buildings in Shapefile MultiPatch format. I want to import it into PostGIS database in the same format.
Is that even possible? If yes, then how?

Please edit the question to include the software you would use for the conversion. – Vince Jun 29 '15 at 11:57

According to the ogr2ogr docs, "MultiPatch files are read and each patch geometry is turned into a multi-polygon representation with one polygon per triangle in triangle fans and meshes." So, not exactly the same format. – John Powell Jun 29 '15 at 12:05

When I tried to import it with tool pgShapeLoader, it appeared as "unsupported data type". Can you help me how can I get this data to DB, please? Thanks for answer. – Michael Knave Jun 30 '15 at 12:40

This is possible using FME Shapefile to PostGIS. I have achieved it before and it creates Tin Zs and PolyhedralSurfaces – James Milner Jan 9 '16 at 21:27

@JohnPowell From that description in docs I would expect that all the resulting polygons are triangles so they all have exactly 3 vertices, but I'm getting polygons with variable number of vertices. It doesn't make sense to me.. – calavera.info Nov 8 '18 at 20:57
