For many years QGIS has been focused on 2D spatial data and support for
3D data was very limited. This has changed in the last couple of years
and QGIS is getting a full suite of tools to work with 3D data.
QGIS development team has been actively working on better support for
data with elevation - such as point clouds, raster digital elevation models,
3D vectors or meshes. This has been possible mainly thanks to the successful
crowdfunding campaign run in autumn 2021:

In this talk, we will show outcomes of these development efforts including:
- a brand new profile tool for detailed inspection of elevation data
- new 2D/3D visualization options for data
- great improvements to the usability of 3D map views
- support for Cloud Optimized Point Cloud (COPC) format
We will also discuss the plans for future releases and how QGIS can even
better fit requirements of users with the ever increasing supply of 3D data.
Got into QGIS development during university studies back in 2005 and stayed thanks to the amazing community. Working at Lutra Consulting, delivering open source GIS to clients and helping open source GIS ecosystem to grow. Currently based in Slovakia.
