qgis-impl-3d-visualization

qgis-impl-3d-visualization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Impertio-Studio/QGIS-Claude-Skill-Package. It costs 132 tokens per session (3,626 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

Guidance for creating 3D map views in QGIS, an open-source geographic information system, and for displaying terrain, vector features, and point-cloud data in three dimensions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Configuring terrain, 3D symbols, materials, cameras, lighting, vector and point-cloud rendering, and 3D map items in QGIS.
Why use it?
It helps avoid slow 3D maps and incorrect terrain or rendering settings by specifying the appropriate QGIS classes and setup patterns.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

qgis-impl-3d-visualization scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Quick Reference

Import Pattern

3D classes live in qgis._3d (underscore prefix because Python modules cannot start with a digit). Base classes live in qgis.core.

# 3D-specific classes: ALWAYS import from qgis._3d
from qgis._3d import (
    Qgs3DMapSettings,
    QgsVectorLayer3DRenderer,
    QgsPolygon3DSymbol,
    QgsLine3DSymbol,
    QgsPoint3DSymbol,
    QgsPhongMaterialSettings,
    QgsGoochMaterialSettings,
    QgsMetalRoughMaterialSettings,
    QgsPointLightSettings,
    QgsDirectionalLightSettings,
    QgsCameraPose,
    QgsPointCloudLayer3DRenderer,
    QgsLayoutItem3DMap,
    QgsFlatTerrainSettings,
    QgsDemTerrainSettings,
)

# Base classes: ALWAYS import from qgis.core
from qgis.core import QgsAbstract3DSymbol, QgsAbstract3DRenderer

Symbol Construction Pattern

Symbol Class Construction Notes
QgsPolygon3DSymbol QgsPolygon3DSymbol.create() Factory method returns QgsAbstract3DSymbol
QgsLine3DSymbol QgsLine3DSymbol.create() Factory method returns QgsAbstract3DSymbol
QgsPoint3DSymbol QgsPoint3DSymbol() Regular constructor

Material Types

Material Use Case Since
QgsPhongMaterialSettings Standard Phong shading (default choice) 3.0+
QgsGoochMaterialSettings Non-photorealistic warm/cool rendering 3.16+
QgsMetalRoughMaterialSettings PBR metallic-roughness 3.36+

Terrain Providers

Provider Class Use Case
Flat QgsFlatTerrainSettings Flat plane at a fixed elevation
DEM QgsDemTerrainSettings Raster elevation model terrain
Mesh QgsMeshTerrainSettings Mesh layer as terrain

Critical Warnings

NEVER use setMaterial() on 3D symbols — it is DEPRECATED and removed. ALWAYS use setMaterialSettings() instead. Old code examples referencing setMaterial() will fail.

NEVER import 3D classes from qgis.core — they live in qgis._3d. The ONLY exceptions are QgsAbstract3DSymbol and QgsAbstract3DRenderer, which live in qgis.core.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
