Seilaplan Tutorial: Load WMS layers as background maps

In order to digitally plan a cable line using the QGIS plugin ‘Seilaplan’, maps with various background information are helpful. In this tutorial we show you how to obtain maps that are helpful for cable line planning, for example a national map of Switzerland at different scales, the NFI vegetation height model or the NFI forest mix rate. For this we explain what WMS datasets are and how to integrate them into QGIS. No download of large data is needed for this, only a good internet connection. Please note that the tutorial language is German!

Für die Verwendung des QGIS Plugins Seilaplan zur digitalen Seillinienplanung sind verschiedene Hintergrundkarten hilfreich. In diesem Tutorialvideo zeigen wir, was WMS Daten sind und wie man diese in QGIS einbinden kann. Dafür müssen die Daten nicht heruntergeladen werden. Es braucht lediglich eine gute Internetverbindung. Für die Seillinienplanung hilfreiche Karten sind bspw. die Landeskarte der Schweiz in verschiedenen Massstäben, das Vegetationshöhenmodell LFI oder der Waldmischungsgrad LFI.
