Create topographic contours from a digital elevation model (DEM). This QGIS tutorial will cover how to create contours and customize the appearance of contour lines and labels. One common way to display contour maps is creating and labeling only index contours. This process may seem a little complicated, but can actually be done quite quickly. This video tutorial will show you how!

Thank you for this video, great step by step instructions.

@zacmac5134 3 года назад

Great video! It would be great to see a tutorial on how to use the DEM to draw transects and label those with the slope.

Fantastic tutorial, and easy to follow too. It helped me to design a hiking trail for a signage in my city, and then exported them to Illustrator, many thanks for your help!

Thx for the tutorial! While watching your first step I came up with a more simple but less elegant solution for the second step: I just made a second contour with a larger interval, thicker lines and labels.

I am having trouble using symbology by rule to identify peaks. Seems like the small length or lack of a higher valid integer contour line at peaks could be used with python. Maybe even the contour ID could be utilized. So far I have this but isn't what I want "elev" >= 500 AND length

Nice video , very helpful. I am trying to make a contour map using QGiS. The map contains a lot of trees and grass , so when I do the contour processing the output is very bad and confusing. Can you guide me through it?

@geospatialschool 4 года назад

I'm not sure how you are making a contour map of trees and grass. Generally contours are used for topography. If you need help on a specific task please use my business contact so we can discuss a contract.

@ActionEcology 3 года назад

Nice tutorial but sadly it didn't work for me. All I got was the '100' line bolded.. no idea why. I then tried to learn how to use the AND operator (from a QGIS forum), but that didn't improve things.. any tips?

@xeler8r 3 года назад

This is a GREAT video! Thanks! Any idea why my topo lines appear directly above my heightmap, not 'over' it (or on top, as in your example)? I'm using a height map from a game engine terrain rather than 'real', if that makes a difference. I'm not sure how to get them aligned. Any ideas? Thanks again!

@geospatialschool 3 года назад

Not sure what you mean by 'above and not over'?

@xeler8r 3 года назад

Open Source Options thanks for your reply. The lines in yours are drawn directly over the height map, as you’d want. But, in mine, they are actually flipped (mirrored vertically) and shifted up. Ie my map is 4096x4096, and so my topo lines are shifted exactly 4096 pixels in y, and mirrored. If this were photoshop, I’d just drag the topo lines down 4096 pixels and transform flip them and call it a day! But in qgis ... not sure what the issue is or how to fix it. :-/

@geospatialschool 3 года назад

I see. Not sure what the problem could be without seeing the data, but I'd guess something with the projection/CRS. If the end product you want is an image, then you can export the contours as a PNG and make the edit in photoshop.

@xeler8r 3 года назад

Open Source Options thanks! I’ll give that a try!

@joshuah.9687 2 года назад

If using 2' contours, and you want to create 10' index intervals, would the expression be- if("ELEVATION"%10=0, 1, NULL) ? Thank you for you videos and work.

Nevermind! That expression worked for 2' contours with 10' indexes. high 5s!

Thank you for your video. I am trying to generate isocontours to specific elevation values (e.g., 100m or from 100m to 1000m with 100 m interval). How can I define the min and maximum values to generate the isolines? TIA

@geospatialschool 2 года назад

You can generate all the contours then select and delete elevations that fall outside the range in the attribute table.

Your DEM is probably quite large, or you are calculating the contours at a very close intervals. Use a smaller DEM or make the contour interval larger
