[QGIS-Developer] GSoC 2019 for QGIS 3D Improvement Proposal

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Ismail, 

Looks nice - thanks for the proposal. Hopefully it will be accepted! 

I'd love to see all of these improvements, esp. the billboard ones -
because currently there is no way to properly label something in 3d. 

I added a suggestion for the billboards: Allow leader lines between the
original point feature and the billboard location above the point
feature, with a configurable vertical offset (best also data-defined).
It would help better locate the position of the actual feature that is
labeled. 

------------------------- 

There are two other ideas regarding QGIS 3D: 

 	* allow highlighting of objects in 3D when using the Identify tool.
Currently one can pick an object in 3d and query the attributes, but
there is no visual feedback what object was actually selected. perhaps
with the new line rendering that Martin is currently working on, this
could be used to draw a red 3d outline of the object picked?
 	* allow a per layer (or per category) wireframe mode for 3d polygons
and terrain (in order to be able to look through the terrain or 3d
objects).

I understand that this would be too much for the GSOC proposal, but
nevertheless I would like to mention those here, as I think they are
important. I totally understand, of course, that they are too much for
the GSOC proposal. 

Thanks and good luck, 

Andreas

I am interested to contribute and work on the 3D improvement [1]. It's still young and I think that I can help with making it more complete.
