[QGIS-Developer] GSoC QGIS 3D Improvement: Week 3 Report

[Ismail Sunni]

Thanks, Nyall, Tim, and Luca

Do you think you'll bump into the same widget-over-3d issue as you
> encountered earlier here?


Yes, but I think the measurement dialog does not need to be always on top
(not like the navigation widget).  The difference :

- Both the navigation widget and the 3D map view must be seen when using
the navigation widget
- Measurement dialog can be below the 3D map view while using it, and the
user can see it after that.

So, it the limitation of QWidget on 3DWindows won't be a problem in this
case.

How are you planning on doing the actual 3d length calculation? AFAIK

Yeah, I stumble on that one. There is no measure between QgsPoint (but QGIS
has for QgsPointXY). I think I found another missing stuff related to
QgsPoint, but I forget.

I agree that we need to have this feature (it's natural to have one). I
tried to implement it actually. But, after the discussion with Martin, we
will do a simpler approach first by calculating the euclidean distance in
the map unit. From here, we will convert to another unit.

Thanks for the feedback Nyall

Best regards.
