GeoCad UAV Toolkit QGIS 4 compatibility

QGIS 4 ready Active

Yes — GeoCad UAV Toolkit supports QGIS 4 (declared max version 4.99.0).

Technical suite for forestry design and UAV photogrammetry: parametric CAD with automatic Italian cadastral lookup, reforestation planning on a DEM, and flight mission planning with real terrain following.

About

GeoCad UAV Toolkit is a QGIS plugin for integrated geospatial work: technical CAD drawing, reforestation design, and UAV photogrammetric mission planning. The three modules share one geometry engine, one terrain model and one cadastral service. CAD. Parametric geometry -- square, rectangle, regular polygon, circle, arc, line, polyline -- with dimensional input (side, angle, radius) and native QGIS snapping. Move, rotate and resize preserve the construction parameters. Every shape placed queries the cadastre on its own geometry rather than on a point: the attribute table carries five columns (Area, Perimeter, Municipality, Sheet, Parcel) and the full reading -- every municipality, every sheet, every parcel, with cadastral area, intersected area and percentage -- stays in the panel and on the map. REFORESTATION. A sixteen-step workflow: area definition, cadastral data, elevation model, constraints and setbacks, homogeneous zones, species catalogue and composition, density and planting pattern with trigonometric slope correction, row orientation, plant generation, naturalistic pass (glades, irregularity, per-species minimum distances), comparative optimisation, anomaly checks, plant editing on the layer, map composition and deliverables. UAV. Photogrammetric planning in twelve steps: mission area from a polygon or from a linear axis for corridors, drone and sensor libraries, bidirectional GSD calculator (flight height and ground resolution are two ends of the same optical relation), real terrain following on the DEM with an elevation profile, acquisition parameters and overlaps, strip generation with a measured azimuth, waypoints and exposure stations, safety checks against obstacles and endurance, mission preview on the map, flight simulation with ground footprints and live coverage, pre-flight validation and export. CADASTRE. Queries the INSPIRE WFS service of the Italian Agenzia delle Entrate, with real geometric intersection. A geometry spanning several municipalities returns all of them, every sheet and every parcel involved, each with its cadastral area, intersected area, percentage of the parcel and percentage of the project; Belfiore codes are resolved to municipality names. Large bounding boxes are tiled, merged and deduplicated, so a provider that stops at its own feature ceiling does not silently truncate the answer. The same engine serves the CAD module and the reforestation module. DEM AND TERRAIN. One terrain model for the whole plugin: slope and aspect for the planting pattern, flight height for the UAV mission. The raster is reprojected from the CRS the QGIS layer declares, which is the one QGIS draws it with. Waypoint heights really follow the ground. CARTOGRAPHY AND EXPORT. Map sheets on QgsPrintLayout from A4 to A0, portrait and landscape, with legend, scale bar, north arrow and grid. Reports in PDF, Word and Excel. Missions in GeoPackage, GeoJSON, KML, KMZ, GPX, CSV, Litchi, MAVLink and native DJI WPML, the last one restricted to the aircraft DJI documents as compatible. INTEGRATION. GIS, CAD, cadastre, reforestation, UAV, photogrammetry and cartography work on the same data: the area drawn with the CAD tools is the reforestation project area, the reforestation DEM is the terrain following DEM, and the forestry project generates the flight mission that documents it. Interface and reports are in Italian. Created by Cap. Niccolò Marco Mancini — RGPBIO.
