QChainage QGIS 4 compatibility
QGIS 4 ready Active
Yes — QChainage supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.98.0).
This plugin takes line features and creates a new layer of points in provided distances on top of these Lines. Optionally you can set the startpoint (distance from the start of the line) and the endpoint (stop before reaching the end of the line).
About
QChainage either separates the selected (or all) Line-Features into parts, or performs linear referencing from a chosen distance. Chainage can be all along the whole feature or between a selectable start and endpoint.
