bcSwapYZ³: Create Z-coord from Y-coord    
V1.0 - 13 June 2019

This QGIS Processing algorithm creates a 3D vector by setting Z-coord to Y-coord and setting Y-coord to a constant.

This algo is for use in a 2D to 3D workflow, where QGIS raster georeferencer is used to digitalise a section (XZ) into an XY-raster, which is then digitalised (XY) and needs to be rotated to XZ-coords.

This algorithm works only on QGIS version 3.x.

This algorithm is part of the Processing geoprocAlgos plugin. Once installed the geoprocAlgos plugin can be found in the 'Processing toolbox'.

Installation

See here for installation instruction.

Once successfully installed the algorithm is found in the Processing toolbox under GeoProc -> vector -> bcSwapYZ

Double-click "bcSwapYZ" to launch the configuration window.

 

Parameters

The following screenshot shows the parameters needed by the algorithm:

Input vector [required]

Layer to transform geometries (from 2D to 3D).

Y value [optional]

New constant Y-value. Default to 0.

Output 3D vector layer file [optional]

Resulting 3D layer. The Z-coord is added to the 2D input layer and is equal to Y-coord, while Y-coord is given constant Y-value.

 

Results

The geometry of the layer is changed to a geometryZ geometry.
