Class: QgsDemTerrainSettings

Terrain settings for a terrain generator that uses a raster DEM layer to build terrain.

Warning

This is not considered stable API, and may change in future QGIS releases. It is exposed to the Python bindings as a tech preview only.

Added in version 3.42.

Static Methods

create

Creates a new instance of a QgsDemTerrainSettings object.

class qgis._3d.QgsDemTerrainSettings

Bases: QgsAbstractTerrainSettings

copyCommonProperties()

static create() → QgsAbstractTerrainSettings | None

Creates a new instance of a QgsDemTerrainSettings object.

Return type:

Optional[QgsAbstractTerrainSettings]

equalsCommon()

layer(self) → QgsRasterLayer | None

Returns the raster layer with elevation model to be used for terrain generation.

setLayer()

Return type:

Optional[QgsRasterLayer]

readCommonProperties()

resolution(self) → int

Returns the resolution of the terrain (how many elevation samples are taken on one side of a terrain tile).

See also

resolution()

Return type:

int

setLayer(self, layer: QgsRasterLayer | None)

Sets the raster layer with elevation model to be used for terrain generation.

layer()

Parameters:

layer (Optional[QgsRasterLayer])

setResolution(self, resolution: int)

Sets the resolution of the terrain (how many elevation samples are taken on one side of a terrain tile).

See also

resolution()

Parameters:

resolution (int)

setSkirtHeight(self, height: float)

Sets the skirt height (in world units).

Skirts at the edges of terrain tiles help hide cracks between adjacent tiles.

skirtHeight()

Parameters:

height (float)

skirtHeight(self) → float

Returns the skirt height (in world units).

Skirts at the edges of terrain tiles help hide cracks between adjacent tiles.
