Hi Ray,

Glad that it worked now.

Yes, 3D is a QGIS 3.x feature only. Also, it is still early stages for 3D in QGIS. I expect several improvements in the upcoming releases.

Note that version 3 can also optionally save in .qgs - .qgz is just a .qgs in a zip file. But yes, compatibility is only towards a higher version, not the opposite way.

Greetings,

Andreas

Hi Andrea,

Cracked it but not in a satisfactory manner for me … yet.

The project file is a V2 (.qgs); in order to get the 3D options, I had to “Save As” a V3 project file (.qgz), then close the .qgs project and reopen the .qgz project.

My problem is I am still running V3 & V2 versions on different systems (both Windows and Linux) so have keep all my projects as V2 ones to ensure compatibility.  I have not felt secure enough yet in V3 to completely migrate away from V2, and I know that’s my problem, not QGIS’s J

Hi,

Here you can see a screenshot of how it looks at my QGIS copy: http://www.carto.net/neumann/temp/layer_properties_3d-view.png

Right click on the layer in the layer tree --> choose "Properties".

You really can't see the tab with title "3D View" in your layer properties dialogue?

There are two ways where you have to set your 3D properties:

1. Globally: in the 3d view panel (see http://www.carto.net/neumann/temp/qgis_global3d_settings.png)

2. Per Layer: how to "3D-style" the layer

Please let us know if this works.

Theoeretically, it could be that the graphics card of your computer is not supported - but since you say that you can run "Arc-Scene" I assume your graphics card should be fine ...

Greetings,

Andreas

    Hi Andreas,

    I wish it were that simple LI have a GeoTiff file containing LiDAR
    (DEM) data that I can manipulate readily in 2D but I cannot find a
    way of displaying in 3D.  This option "Layer Properties" --> "3D
    View" does not exist for me. Under “View” I CAN create a “New 3D
    map view” and specify the elevation data (from the same GeoTiff
    file) but I cannot display anything that looks at all 3D. BTW,
    QGIS is 3.2.3 running on Win10 64bit. Am I completely missing some
    option/switch?

    This is particularly annoying as I still have to use (and pay for)
    ESRI’s ArcScene as a way of getting good 3D images of LiDAR data L

    Dear Emanuele,

    You don't need to convert anything. Just go to "Layer Properties"
    --> "3D View" --> checkbox "Enable 3D Renderer" and select your
    basic shape or provide a file with a 3D model (like a tree model,
    car, etc.). There you can also select "Altitude clamping".

    After these settings, it should "just work".

    BTW: don't forget to reply to the "[email protected]"
    <mailto:[email protected]> list. Please do not communicate
    with just me, skipping the mailing list.

    Greetings,

    Andreas

        Hi andreas!

        I have converted the point shape to geometry type then set Z
        value and after all I have added geometry attributes.

        xcoord, y coord and zcoord also appear in the attribute table
        but when I enable 3d render doesn't work, they are all flat

        What can I do?

        Thank you!

        Emanuele

            Hi Emanuele,

            Points in QGIS3D must be represented by 3d shapes (box,
            sphere, model file, etc.). In each layer there are
            separate styles for 2D and 3D (each one in its own
            separate tab in the layer properties or alternatively in




        the styling panel). Did you use the 3D styles? There you can
        specify the source of the third dimension (z-coordinate or
        terrain, absolute or relative).

        Hope this helps,

        Andreas

            I'm trying to plot some point with 3d map in Qgis 3.2 but
            doesn't work.

            I have added the Z but In the 3d plot the point appear at
            the same altitude

            Thank you
