## Name

ST_3DDWithin — Tests if two 3D geometries are within a given 3D distance

## Synopsis

`boolean ST_3DDWithin(`geometry g1, geometry g2, double precision distance_of_srid`)`;

## Description

Returns true if the 3D distance between two geometry values is no larger than distance `distance_of_srid`. The distance is specified in units defined by the spatial reference system of the geometries. For this function to make sense the source geometries must be in the same coordinate system (have the same SRID).

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

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

This function supports Polyhedral surfaces.

This method implements the SQL/MM specification. SQL-MM ?

## Examples

    -- Geometry example - units in meters (SRID: 2163 US National Atlas Equal area) (3D point and line compared 2D point and line)
    -- Note: currently no vertical datum support so Z is not transformed and assumed to be same units as final.
