I want to do this in Asia. Specifically in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. Currently, the delta is facing climate change, rising sea levels and flooding in urban areas. I really like this video, can you help me analyze flooding like this in Asia?
Is this possible in QGIS 3.36.3 for Mac? Could you please advise how to proceed? I don't see the Point Cloud Conversion Tool in the tool menu.. Thank you.
Hi Hans, I have downloaded the latest release and the table is now editable. However, when I drag in the flowdirmesh file it appears in my layers, but not as yellow on the screen. I also can't see the arrows when I change to that. Do you have any suggestions as to what the problem could be? Many thanks.
Hello, I'm having some issues using the 'upslope area' tool. I'm using QGIS 3.28.11 and have gotten the error " SAGA version 7.8.2 is not officially supported - algorithms may encounter issues". Is there another way for me to delineate the catchment using a different tool? Thank you for all of your helpful content
I switched to the PCRaster Tools plugin. Check my videos about that. It's more robust than SAGA. If you srill want to use SAGA, check my work around videos.
First of all thanks very much for this amazing tutorial. I want to do the same analysis for an area in Germany, but I could not find DTM and DSM with higher resolution than 30m. Would this type of analysis work with such resolutions?
Yes, from the temporal controller you can export the frames as PNG and create an animated GIF in GIMP. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--MpdsqbQsYY.html&si=Mqisis_0hOIEaDTC
Hello. I am trying to do something similar to this but with many more points (about 5000). Memory-wise, it is not feasible to load each layer and merge into one file. All I need is the resulting attribute table with costs and ideally distances of all the paths. I can save each path as individual files without loading them, but I was wondering if you have further suggestions on how to approach this issue.
When I use the raster calculator in the model designer it always shows seven layers named A, B, C, D, E, F, G. But not the actual layers like shown on your video. Why does it do this? A works in the calculations, but only if it is the only raster input in that line of algorithms. How do I get it to show the correct raster layers in the raster calculator?
Hello, thank you for all your videos they have been a great help. My first hurdle is my Raster attribute table has the edit toggle greyed out. I also am getting an error when trying to us the Lookup tool, resulting in no excel sheet produced. Do you have any solutions? thank you
Hi. The problem with the RAT is know and fixed. It will be working in the next release. See github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/57795. Lookup tool reads a lookuptable in text format, not Excel and it is an input. The result is a reclassified raster. Lookup table from RAT exports the RAT to a text file in the lookup table format.
Thank you for putting all this together for us. Let God continue to empower you. Please can someone help me with a link to generate 'knickpoints' in stream analysis ?
Why can’t I set a non-integer level elevation value in the raster calculator? For example, a request less than 1 meter is possible, but less than 1.3 is not possible. and how to solve this problem
It should work, but note that the result is Boolean: "DTM_voidsremoved@1" <= 1.3 will result in pixels with 1 (True) for elevations less than or equal to 1.3. Other pixels will have value 0 (False).
Concerning geopackage, is it possible to create and stores relations 1/N? I was able to do it in filegeodatabase, but would prefer with geopackage. Thanks
Hi Hans, is it perhaps possible to use plugins from a new version 3.32 into an older version (mine is now 3.28) ? It always takes me so much time download & customize a new version and then re-install the plugins and add them to my toolbars New versions come out very often and I don't want to keep re-installing QGIS and go through the same process I would like to use the point cloud conversion plugins (from 3.32) as per your example but I don't know if that is easily done? I suspect there is an easier way to download a new version of QGIS and still be able to keep all toolbars and settings, perhaps an idea for a video ? Thanks for your great videos
QGIS installations share the location of your profile. Your profile stores your plugins amongst other settings. See ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mKTRHL5YLjI.htmlsi=bCjHsy5H-h60jtMf. Only if your plugin is not supported by the QGIS version, it will not load. The point cloud tools in the video are core functionality, so you can only use those tools from 3.32.
@@HansvanderKwast hi sir, I ,managed to solve all my errors. I udpsed the ldd layer and the DP second layer I used a rusle map because I needed the sediment yield in my basin. But the final map was not good. I had parts in the map completely missing. The river, where the flow should have been, was completley missing from the map. Like pixels weren't there.,,,idk what happened or what I did wrong
Hey Hans, I have a bit of a video request, would you be able to show us how to do a dam-break model in HEC-RAS using QGIS for the topography files and such. Would be awesome if somebody finally explained in plain clear english what needs to be done! - Isaac
Hi . Thank you for sharing this amazing information . Im new to WebODM . I wanna buy the software . And Im not sure if its going to work offline without internet ! Somtime I travel for long distances fo remote area . And I dont have any link . Is this software can works also by offline situations?
Hi. You can install it on a laptop and use it offline. Basically it runs a server locally. Instructions are here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LT0dYCh8pXw.html
Lo hice y quedó perfecto, solo que tuve un inconveniente con relacion a el paso de (spatial), lo arreglé no guardando la capa temporal, al igual con la herramienta accuflux, tambien le puse una simbología de 1000 y quedó perfecta. Muchas gracias maestro!! :) saludos desde Guatemala.
Hi Hans, If I was to incorporate 'Clip Raster by Mask Layer' on the graphical modeler, it only allows me to clip one 'raster' (allows only one input layer) - however, I would like to clip 2 - 3 using the 'same' mask layer. what do you reckon would be the best way to get around this?
Hello sir, I need to carry out a flood vulnerability assessment of basin using morphometric analysis using Qgis, can you help? Do you have any videos on such a project? Or a step by step?
Hi! You can check this playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PLeuKJkIxCDj1bKCAMEE8NLbaNMVT9w3_X or have a look at these tutorials: courses.gisopencourseware.org/course/view.php?id=10 That's all I have on this topic.
Hello Sir PC raster LDD to Grib is not giving the results, it show an error stating that: "unable to convert to grib file with GDAL: Unsupported or missing spatial reference system" the CSR i am using is EPSG:7763-WSG 84/Himachal Pradesh
@@HansvanderKwast I tried from UTM 43, 44 all other CSR which can be used for this area, and some random other CSR just to check the output. But no success yet. I'll try again tomorrow.
Does the target in the reprojection make a difference? I don't know which UTM target to choose so I just chose Default CRS with the rest of the same parameters for the reprojection. Yours runs so quickly whereas I've been waiting for hours for the projection to finish...any tips?
The target should be the projection you want to work with. If you just want to visualise the DEM, you can keep it in GCS (EPSG:4326) and don't need to reproject. If you want to do analysis, you need to reproject, so the X and Y units are the same as the Z units (m). You can choose a national projection or for example UTM. If you google UTM zones you can find pictures with all the zones and choose the one for your study area. More info about projections: ru-vid.com/group/PLeuKJkIxCDj1c0ffAkIb5P1-80lporfbU&si=4TgTShYRpmrMyCdH
It has potential. I used it on a 25x25m pixel scan of a geologic map with mixed results. My main issue was a constant "cannot connect with completion server" error message although i was connected to good internet. Could not find any way to solve this.
Hi Hans. I get an error in lddcreate tool: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users/Zvone/AppData/Roaming/QGIS/QGIS3\profiles\default/python/plugins\pcraster_tools\processing\algorithms\pcraster_lddcreate_algorithm.py", line 169, in processAlgorithm setclone(input_dem.dataProvider().dataSourceUri()) TypeError: Cannot open 'E:/Documents/GIS/Cvitovic/VirtualRaster_DMR.vrt'. Note: only the PCRaster file format is supported as input argument. Can you help please?
The PCRaster Tools can only read the PCRaster file format. Therefore, you need to convert your vrt layer. You can use the tool from this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7nSh-93z3Ro.html
Maybe this site helps: www.ga.gov.au/scientific-topics/national-location-information/digital-elevation-data. DEM stands for Digital Elevation Model, DTM is Digital Terrain Model (terrain elevation without man-made and natural objects) and DSM is Digital Surface Model (terrain + man-made and natural objects), see ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pnAdasqHxGk.htmlsi=yNfBfJWpUVwa37jC
