[Gvsig_english] New User - problems withsplitting geometries andattributes.

[Cain Hegarty]

Wolfgang, you're a star.  That make sense, as the gps data would have the
height 'y' attributes attached.  At least I know what the problem is now.
Can I ask, how you examine its properties to find this out?

Many thanks

Cain

Dear Cain,

I threw a glance at that layer's properties: it is a 3d shapefile, and it is
known (...) that gvSIG has some problems dealing with this kind of data.
Therefore, I used ogr2ogr (command line tool) to convert it to 2D:

ogr2ogr -f "ESRI Shapefile" /tmp/TB_n.shp -nlt LINESTRING /tmp/TB.shp

Afterwards, splitting lines was possible  - at least using the nice
OpenCAD-extension I was talking a bit earlier. It was also possible to edit
the attribute table. Therefore, I assume that converting those data into 2D
would solve your problem. However, I do not know if there is a way to
convert to 2D withi gvSIG. Maybe there's another gvSIG user (geek?) who has
also an answer for that question.

Best,
Wolfgang
