Usually the simple solution is to generate a profile using an arbitrate projection system - essentially creating another map, and then adding a frame with that map into the main layout/map your are building in composer. You might need to use some pseudo coordinates like the projection your plan is in to make is simpler. This can be helpful when your sections are N-S or E-W and then the elevation is an offset from the northing (or easting)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Having said that, we are looking at the possibility of supporting an extension to QGIS that would develop into an open source section and drill hole package. Adding that to QGIS will make it very attractive to many kinds of geological work. We estimate that the cost of supporting the initial work will be not much different than a few commercial licences for … something else.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Please let me know if this makes enough sense or you need other suggestions. Or if you are interested in geological plugging for QGIS as well!</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regards,</div><br class=""><div class="">
