Add a blog post, "One More Dimension: Apache Sedona Enters the 3D World", covering the Box3D type and 3D query support that shipped in 1.9.1.
ST_Box3DandST_3DMakeBoxconstructors,ST_XMinthroughST_ZMaxaccessors,BOX3Dtext form, and a two-box example where the z axis changes theST_Intersectsanswer.Box3Dvolumes; FAA UAS Facility Map cells turned into above-ceiling airspace boxes; oneST_Intersectsbox join that finds buildings taller than the drone ceiling above them (31,425 total, 139 in cells where flight is allowed), shown to compile to the planner'sRangeJoinonbox3d; a hypothetical delivery corridor built fromST_3DMakeBoxsegments with five obstructions.ST_3DExtentaggregate.create_geometry_mapcall used for the 3D building view, plus a paragraph on Box2D, the PythonBox3DTypebindings, and Flink support.Includes five images: four generated by the author (an isometric cover and ceiling-plane scene drawn from the real building data, a concept diagram, and a corridor side profile) and one SedonaPyDeck screenshot.
