You are the brightest star that shines in the sky, and you saved a student's life.

Wow! It is a really useful video! I definitely will try to use it in my GIS-projects. Thank you Klas!

[@KapildevAdhikari]

Great ideas

Fantastiskt ❤ klas

cool

[@iltonmsfreitas]

Thank you Klas! Your videos are really good! Unfortunately, in my case this didn't work, even though I downloaded your 3d model from the QGIS Hub page. I'm using QGIS 3.22, what is your QGIS version?

[@KlasKarlsson]

I use the latest version at the time of the video. In this case it should be 3.22.

This is really cool, I did not know that you could add real 3D models to QGIS. This totally slipped under my radar somehow ... Unfortunatly my experience with the 3D-Map in QGIS is a mixed one, there's always something not rendered correctly so I gave up on it. Maybe I should give it another try. Since I am working with architects, did you try to use 3D models with polygons? I am thinking of houses to place on a map where I have the building footprint as a polygon. In any case, thanks for the great tutorial, I will definitely give it a try

[@KlasKarlsson]

In Blender you can get a plugin "Blender GIS" that makes it possible to work with GIS files like Shape. You could import a polygon for a building footprint, model the house in Blender, and then load it back as an object in QGIS. There are some rendering issues in QGIS still, and some are caused by underlying Qt framework issues, while others are simply caused by limited funding. If more users are interested in 3D in QGIS, and are willing to fund it, there are companies willing to do the work.
