Not QGIS 4 ready Active
Not yet — the latest version declares max QGIS version 3.99.0, so it is not offered to QGIS 4 users.
QGIS plugin for hydrological and geomorphological analysis using DEMs, with slope quartiles and drainage extraction.
About
HandModel Plugin is a QGIS extension designed to support hydrological and geomorphological analysis using digital elevation models (DEMs). It provides slope calculation in degrees or percentage with automatic quartile symbology, drainage network extraction using GRASS algorithms, workspace integration to save results as GeoTIFF, simple dialogs for parameter selection and progress monitoring, and automation to add outputs directly to the QGIS project.
