[QGIS-Developer] 3D Polygons in PYQGIS

[Jean Garcia]

Sorry for the confusion my request might have created.
I am quite new to QGIS and have had to do a lot of online research with not much success. (mostly vaguely searching through QGIS Documentation)

The project I am working on is to generate a layer based on given parameters, one of said parameters being the slope of each layer's Z Values.
	(one said layer being stated as a slope of 20 to 1 for a horizontal distance of 4,000 ft)
With said slope I wish to make the 2D layers I have already generated appear in a 3D view.

I did some research into the drape tool, and while I do believe it could work my issue is how would I create the raster layer with the Z values?
Since the Z values would depend entirely on the different parameters, it would not be set Z values. 
	(What even is the function to create the raster layer?)

My current thinking is to calculate the Z values based on the slope and starting height of each layer.
How do you think I should go around doing so?

Thanks,
Jean A. Garcia

What exactly are you trying to do? There's many ways this request could be interpreted.

(Maybe the "drape" tool from the processing toolbox does what you need?)
