Interesting Kirk,

The QGIS vector to raster conversion is not available in the graphical modeler or do you have another reason behind your solution? I don’t use much the graphical modeler so I appreciate your incite.

Cheers!

If you had hundred or thousands of these to do, I could develop a Python script that could automate the entire thing.   Contact me if you have questions.
