I don't understand what is a 3D polyline. Your 3D points have x, y coordinates and a z value. If you make your polyline from a selection of points in a raster DEM, you will just have a polyline representing something from the 3D. With st_simplifiy, you will symplify this representation.
Instead your polyline is a multiline, I think you can use st_simplify instead of st_simplifypreservetopology.

So if I had a linestring which I composed from several 3D points using ST_MakeLine, would the DP algorithm still work? Cheers, Ed* *
