@Kateryna created this awesome tutorial on creating 3D context maps using QGIS and Speckle.
I can’t keep from talking about this with everyone, and you may have seen @pauldotnet has already been putting these through their paces. So don’t miss out on gaining instant insights for your project modelling! Happy modelling!
@Kateryna I’m trying to use Mapzen, and configured the same connection as you, getting some psychedelic stuff instead of the black and white gradient you showcased. any idea why?
Hi @Kateryna ,
Saving the region as tiff results in the same coloring, and I checked in the symbology tab, it’s in french but it says “coloured data with single band”
I don’t really know why is this happening, but I would expect that after saving, tiff layer should become a normal editable raster layer. If not, well… we would need to figure it out
Ok… well yes now I see all the options when saving as TIFF, changing to “singleband gray” just makes the psychedelic stuff gray scale… no idea what’s happening, maybe some display/performance issue…
When adding a connection like Mapzen, the Interpretation should be set to Terrarium Terrain RGB, this feature is described in the documentation and is available from QGIS stable version 3.28 and up.
