I want to change all the elevation of the polygons of a shapefile using the field value ELEV from each polygon. So each vertex of each polygons as all the same Z (elevation). Anyone knows how to do that?

Please

  • Where is the ELEV field stored? – Cezar B Mar 11 '18 at 8:24
  • ... in the attribute table, and each Lakes has an elevation field, which i try to use for actual elevation for each polygon. It is already a 3D polygon. I tried v.extrude and v.to.3d already, but couldnt get the result I wanted... – Steeve Brissette Mar 11 '18 at 8:34
  • If you are using v.to.3d in QGIS2.18, try (1) NOT to use a 3D polygon as the input. You need original 2D polygon with Z attribute field. (2) In Advanced parameters select area in v.out.ogr output type pull-down menu. – Kazuhito Mar 11 '18 at 9:17

In QGIS 3.0, run the "set z value" algorithm. Hit the button next to z value and select the field containing your desired z values.
