<div>I have a 1-band raster representing the surface of a road - the pixels hold the z-values/elevation.</div>
<div>I have loaded it into QGIS and used "contours" as renedering method. The result looks good, I additionally have the same raster with hillshading as rendering - very pleasent - see</div>
<div>https://imgur.com/XMmMmdj</div>
<div>the fuzzy black lines are the contours, the light area is the hillshaded z-raster.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>One drawback of the on-the-fly contours is that they are limited to a minimum interval of 0.1 m. As the surface is very flat (a road), I would like to have a more dense set of contours (0.02 m, e.g.).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I tried the contours function (GDAL > Raster extraction > contours) from the processing toolbox. It created a new layer with a plausible number of lines, but the lines are not visible, no matter what I try. The log of Contour is below - I do not see anything special.</div>
<div>I tried to calculate the length of the geometries, but I get "nan" for each.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any ideas why the contours function does not produce meaningful output while the rendering as contours works beautifully?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Kind regards,</div>
<div>Roland</div>
