[QGIS-Developer] QGIS-Developer Digest, Vol 209, Issue 25

Hi Andrea,

I faced the same issue recently and found these two tools to convert DEM into TIN:

- dem2mesh: https://github.com/OpenDroneMap/dem2mesh
- tin-terrain https://github.com/heremaps/tin-terrain

dem2mesh worked in my use case to convert a large DEM for 3d visualization. It produces nice triangular faces of uniform size. Tin-terrain creates large triangles in flat parts of the mesh.

It would be great to have an algorithm like dem2mesh directly in QGIS!

Best,

Hi all (and sorry for the cross-post)

Richard has raised the issue a couple of times with no specific feedback/decision but I think now we NEED to go forward : there is not enough space on our servers to store everything we want to share.
Yesterday, I updated the docs infrastructure to serve translated versions of the 3.28 documentation but they are not published this morning, probably because of lack of space to get them pasted.

# du -hs *
255M    doc-test
579M    QGIS-Documentation
7.2G    QGIS-Documentation-2.14
6.3G    QGIS-Documentation-2.18
7.7G    QGIS-Documentation-2.8
12G     QGIS-Documentation-3.10
11G     QGIS-Documentation-3.16
9.4G    QGIS-Documentation-3.22
579M    QGIS-Documentation-3.28
8.0G    QGIS-Documentation-3.4
31G     QGIS-tests
16G     QGIS-Website

An option could be to rent a bigger  webserver but a few questions/suggestions so far (I'm only speaking for the docs as I don't know what is behind other folders):
- Do we need to serve all these versions? FYI we recently silently removed and redirected <2.8 docs (and nobody complained) so we could probably be more "aggressive"
- It could be nice to define some strategy on this area: e.g. we keep publishing master, current LTR, previous LTR and any older URL is redirected to current LTR --> meaning that today we would be serving only testing in English, 3.28 and 3.22 in English + translations. OR one more older LTR (ie 3.16)?

PS: this issue somehow also affects the PyQGIS documentation repo [0], due to github-pages size limits

Regards,
Harrissou

Hi QGIS devs,

Is there a tool available to create a Mesh (or TIN as a special mesh
variation) from a source raster layer containing terrain values?

I did not find one - but maybe I didn't look everywhere.

If not in QGIS - do you know an external Open Source tool that could do that, while keeping real world coordinates?

Thanks,

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

There should be a tool to convert vector to mesh (under Processing > Mesh > TIN Mesh Creation). There will also be some new Processing tools for handling point clouds. But I am not aware of any Raster > Mesh tools.

Kind regards
Saber

The ridiculous work around I use is to go through Blender using the BlenderGIS plugin. Import the raster into Blender as a new mesh > Decimate the mesh > Export as a shapefile > Run TIN Mesh Creation in QGIS.

Hi all,

I think it is not nessasary to go through Blender, just use theese two
algorithm:

  * pixeltopoints
  * tinmeshcreation

Best regards

Stefan
