hi people,
I'm getting ready for a simple forest road planning project (line tracing - > 
creation of transversal sections every N meters -> extraction of the slope 
profile from DTM -> drawing of the road type section -> estimation of cut/fill 
volumes).
Being a GIS- more than a CAD-person, my first thought went to the plugin 
repository where I found GeoRoad 
(https://github.com/matheusfillipe/Topografia), probably an abandoned project 
-sigh-. With a really small effort I was able to update the code to make it 
installable: now there's the linguistic barrier (it's only in brazilian) to 
face, and all this only to know if it still works properly.

My actual alternative is to create a pipeline like:

  1.
road tracing
  2.
create cross section ("split lines by maximum length" + "transect")
  3.
extract elevation values (splitting transect into points and sampling the 
raster underneath)
  4.
export everything to a CAD sw (no autocad available...)

...or using ForestRoadDesign (for tracing) + setting up a Postgres environment 
to install riverGIS plugin (for the sections).

Did I miss something? Do you have any other qgis-based viable suggestion before 
investing lots of time in the first mentioned plugin?
Thanks in advance!

nic
