Hi Chris,

Dimensions here are not annotations.  I believe the original post was referring to what AutoCad refers to as "Extrude" as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdysbeHHXo8.

Cheer!

Nicolas, everyone,

Sorry to top post here but I'm not sure where to start below.

What about just using the various drawing tools on the print layout?  Arrows can be added, annotation, polylines, that sort of thing?  Of course it's not in the original data / layers, but is that important?

    Hi,

    Qgis is not a CAD as you are discovering.  Others have given you
    good plugins and tools so I will not add to that.  You can still
    do “3D” as 3D objects like lines, points and polygon are
    supported.  You can use the 3D map windows to visualize the 3D
    objects and a DEM  raster or mesh layers.  I too am an
    archaeologist.  In the past, I have used simple 3D WKT format in a
    text file to make 3D outlines of trenches and survey holes. Looks
    like some plugins can now do that for you now.  QGIS is not quite
    there as a full blown CAD but it’s as good as current Commercial
    GIS I have worked with.  Progress has been slow but steady.

    you can solve it using Geometry Generator see:

        Is there a tool for adding dimensions in QGIS. For those who
        are wondering what I am talking about, it is common in CAD
        drafting to add dimensions to what you have drawn and this is
        a whole part of a CAD program where you can format dimensions
        …etc.

        I have been asked to add dimensions to an archaeological hole
        I am digging on a QGIS map and I was wondering whether there
        is a similar dimensioning tool in QGIS.

        Cheers
