Re: [QGIS-Developer] Tool to create Mesh from raster layer?

Hi Saber, It is a good point - to use the source. I think the source was a point cloud data set. So, ideally, it could be a point cloud to mesh tool (or TIN). I see that Alex Bruy just committed a point cloud to raster tool (going through TIN is an option), but not as a final TIN result.

Hi Andreas, Indeed, there is no native tool at the moment to convert raster directly to mesh. I filed a ticket with a link to this discussion so we can add it to QGIS later: https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/52313 But, in general, I would first try to find the source of the DEM raster (e.g.

Hi, Yes - exporting the raster to xyz points or to contour lines are both workarounds. It would be nice, if QGIS would gain a direct algorithm of creating a mesh from a DEM - as many DTMs are provided as raster. It seems like SAGA has a raster DTM to TIN algorithm (

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 On Mon, 20 Mar 2023 at 13:56, Andreas Neumann via

[QGIS-Developer] Tool to create Mesh from raster layer?

2023-03-20 Thread Andreas Neumann via QGIS-Developer
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
