ABS - AutoBufferSketcher QGIS 4 compatibility
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.
Draw a line and automatically generate pregeocage, geocage, ground buffer, and adjacent-area zones with real-time updates.
About
Interactive route sketching with four metric buffer zones and independent per-segment distances. Includes GeoPackage persistence, GeoJSON, experimental RigiCloud .plan export, and Italian/English interface translations. Requires QGIS 3.34 or later in the 3.x series, using the Python/Qt shipped with QGIS and no external Python packages. Tested on Linux with QGIS 3.34.4 and 3.44.15; Windows, macOS and QGIS 4 are not validated. Buffer calculation is regional (local UTM); broad extents and polar routes are not supported. Full RigiCloud 1.19.9 compatibility, including mission parameters and altitudes, is still under validation.
