Is FileExport.html template avialable in version 2.0 #135

Hello,

the FileExport.html template available in version 2.0? I'd like to export as a collada file which I believe was possible in version 1.4 .

Thanks image

It is not available.

three.js has glTF exporter. It can export a 3D model and its textures to a single file. This is one of the advantages for plugin development and users.

I think there are some ways to convert glTF files to COLLADA format. Blender has glTF 2.0 Importer (https://github.com/ksons/gltf-blender-importer). 3D Builder of Windows 10 can import glTF files and save them as OBJ format. Of course, Blender can perform OBJ import and COLLADA export.

Hello, "It is not available." ....yes, we know this.

The questions is: WHEN could I use the collada function under QGIS 3?

Export as a glTF file is not for everybody a solution. After export we are leaving the gis-system. In some/many cases not possible. Example: If I use different point layers with many points. Should I change all after an export in for example blender?? No, this is not possible. Example2: If I do an export, after I change the file in blender. Than I must change something in gis. And than? Should I export again, and do the work again in blender?? No, this is not possible.

We need the same possibilities as under QGIS 2. I want work with QGIS and their plugins. I dot not want spend time for example blender. Blender is good, but you need m u c h time for this software. Not all people have this time.

After export with qgisthreejs I have a complete html website. Why should I use other software to do that? Your Plugin is fantastic, I love it. But I love it more with more particular functions.

Is it possible to integrate the same functions under QGIS 3? Or is this not possible to programming this?

Thank you and greetings Jürgen
