ST_3DIntersects

8.11.1. Topological Relationships

Name

ST_3DIntersects — Tests if two geometries spatially intersect in 3D - only for points, linestrings, polygons, polyhedral surface (area).

Synopsis

+boolean +ST_3DIntersects( geometry geomA , geometry geomB );

Description

Overlaps, Touches, Within all imply spatial intersection. If any of the aforementioned returns true, then the geometries also spatially intersect. Disjoint implies false for spatial intersection.

This function automatically includes a bounding box comparison that makes use of any spatial indexes that are available on the geometries.

Changed: 3.0.0 SFCGAL backend removed, GEOS backend supports TINs.

Availability: 2.0.0

check This function supports 3d and will not drop the z-index.

check This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

check This function supports Triangles and Triangulated Irregular Network Surfaces (TIN).

check This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM IEC 13249-3: 5.1

Geometry Examples

  FROM (SELECT 'POINT(0 0 2)'::geometry As pt, 'LINESTRING (0 0 1, 0 2 3)'::geometry As line) As foo;
