I've been making experiments with Blender GIS and QGIS.
I'm having problems when importing Shapefiles with contour lines, with a field for elevation (ELEVATION FROM FIELD selected when importing).
I'm describing them below (Blender 2.75 and QGIS 2.10).
Now the fun part: when importing, instead of selecting ELEVATION FROM FIELD, if I select EXTRUSION FROM FIELD, everything is right.
Then I can just delete the 0 value vertices and I end up with just the contour lines in the right Z position (so I can apply Delaunay triangulation to have a surface).
So, conclusion is, I can reach the final result I want, but it needs a bit more working.
Anyone have an idea of what is going on with ELEVATION FROM FIELD selected?
Thanks in advance.

I'm having problems when importing Shapefiles with contour lines, with a field for elevation (ELEVATION FROM FIELD selected when importing).

- When there are contour lines that have no value for elevation (in QGIS for example, Z is NULL) mixed with contour lines that have values, Blender GIS cannot load the SHP. This is no real problem actually, since it's easy to fix in QGIS.
- Now the real problem: when I import a SHP into Blender with all the contour lines with Z values, it worked with a SHP with only 3 contour lines (3 features in QGIS), with Z values 20, 40 and 60.
