Hi All,
I have raised a SO question here.
Summary:
I generate a .shp file using las2tin, and then I try to generate a sql script to insert generated .shp into postgres using shp2pgsql utility that comes with postgis. But it fails to do so with error
'Unknown geometry type: 31'.

What may be the cause here?

Hi Manish,
las2tin generates SHP files with MultiPatch polygons (Type 31). It seems shp2pgsql does not support this kind of polygons.
Cheers,
