Xsection is a Python-written script for creating cross sectional river profiles, normally used in 1D hydraulic modelling. The program features:
- vertex sampling of 2D shapefiles to pick their elevation values from underyling Digital Elevation Models (DEM)
- automatic setting of river and cross section direction/orientation (no need for careful manual creation anymore!)
- automatic calculation of the profile chainages according to the desired incrementation (upstream or downstream)
- conversion of the results into ASCII version of the XNS11 geometry file from Mike11 by DHI software.
- different profile creation options:
- auto-generated profiles (based on DEM and input parameters)
- profiles from 2D Line Shapefile and DEM
- profiles from a 3D geodetic suverying points in Shapefile
For installation and usage guidelines, see the Official documentation.
- Conversion into a QGIS plugin (GUI)
- EPSG projection equality checking
