QGIS3: bcSwapYZ3
13 Jun 2019

Create Z-coord from Y-coord. 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.

QGIS3: bcStackP3
03 Jun 2019

Stacked profiles from point layers. This QGIS Processing algorithm creates stacked profiles from a point layer having the following fields: Fiducial, line and data. Stacked profiles are created in a new line layer.
In geophysics, stacked profiles are commonly used to display geophysical data (magnetic, gravity, electromagnetic, electric, radiometric, ...) over the lines on which the data has been acquired.
Correctly displayed they will show trends and anomalous areas that can be of interest.
