You cannot load layers into profile layers if they are not in the project layer panel. This apparent duplication is explained by the fact that, with the project layer, you control the layer&rsquo;s appearance in the map window, while with the profile layer you control its profile parameters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First concept: what is a profile?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A profile is the result of intersecting a polyline with a layer of terrain heights, and then displaying the XYZ cross-section of the terrain as a profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From this definition we can draw the first rule of use: at least two classes of entity are required for a profile to be built: a layer with terrain heights (raster, vector, point cloud, etc.) and a polyline entity that defines the profile to be built. This entity can be built freehand, in the map window, using the <strong><em>Capture Curve tool.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"228\" data-attachment-id=\"10507\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/index.php\/comment-faire-un-profil-topographique-avec-qgis-3-26-1ere-partie\/a3-5-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?fit=952%2C339&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"952,339\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"a3-5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?fit=640%2C228&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?resize=640%2C228&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10507\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?w=952&amp;ssl=1 952w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?resize=300%2C107&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?resize=768%2C273&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?resize=150%2C53&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a3-5.png?resize=250%2C89&amp;ssl=1 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Or it can be selected by capturing it from an existing polyline layer, using the <strong><em>Capture curve tool <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"180\" data-attachment-id=\"10508\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/index.php\/comment-faire-un-profil-topographique-avec-qgis-3-26-1ere-partie\/a4-5-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?fit=1023%2C288&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1023,288\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"a4-5\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?fit=640%2C180&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?resize=640%2C180&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10508\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?w=1023&amp;ssl=1 1023w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?resize=300%2C84&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?resize=768%2C216&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?resize=150%2C42&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.sigterritoires.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/a4-5.png?resize=250%2C70&amp;ssl=1 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Second notion: profile layer geometry types<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Layers in the profile layer panel can be of two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2D geometries, i.e. with X and Y values (MultiLineString, Polygon,\u2026)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>3D geometries, i.e. with X, Y and Z values (MultiLineStringZ, PolygonZ, etc.).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A third case may arise when a layer has an XYZ definition and Z values are not specified.
