I got an elevation raster map which I interpolate from a point cloud with `v.surf.bspline`. Then I digitize a couple of points in a new vector layer. With `v.drape` I'm able to get a height from the raster to those 2D points. I'm exporting the result to DXF and everything is fine, the points are in 3D. When I'm digitizing lines, the same workflow leads me to lines that are still in 2D. I'm missing something ! Thank you. **EDIT 1** : I made a polyline (not in 3D a 2D) in Drafsight, z is equal to 0. I saved it in .DXF. Then I imported it with `v.in.dxf` to grass, gave it to `v.drape` with my elevation raster map. And finally, I ran : v.out.ogr -z input=gloubiDrape@PERMANENT type=point,line,boundary,centroid,area,face,kernel,auto dsn=gloubidrape.dxf format=DXF With the following output : WARNING: The combination of types is not supported by all formats.

I opened this new .DXF with draftsight, now z is not equal to 0, it is equal to 329 which is consistent with my elevation map but it is still flat. **EDIT 2** : When I show attribute data for gloubiDrape my 3Dvector map, under browse data tab I get : cat layer entity label 1 0 lwpolyline 2 0 lwpolyline and under manage tables : columnName dataType dataLength cat integer 11 layer character 255 entity character 255 label character 255
