Yes but it has a dev release: https://anaconda.org/freecad/pivy/files ... n=0.6.6dev

I hope so.

Just an FYI, I just took a quick look at the trails error and fixed it. However, there's other broken issues that I have to sort out, so while it doesn't generate any errors at the moment, things may still not work.

Watch the dev branch for updates, if and when I get the time.

Actually, I can confirm, it will import an alignment and allow you to edit it, but actual interactive editing is almost completely broken, undoubtedly because of the numerous API changes that have taken place since I last dealt with it.

I need to come to a stopping point with where I'm at in turns / pivy_trackers before I can get back to Trails.

It has a solution but I don't know when FC developers interest with that.
In general one of the areas Coin3D should be good at includes geological modelling. Based on all that was discussed over there indeed it looks like the mentioned Coin3D classes are intended to be used for such purposes:
A common problem when dealing with geographic data is the reduced floating point precision you often get.
In addition you now do have access to them using the latest Pivy? The initial difficulties therefore should likely be resolved? That for sure would be a nice outcome.

Yes pivy dev give you ability to access SoGeo classes.

No I don't know how to use it.

Great.
No I don't know how to use it.
What likely makes sense now is to open a dedicated forum thread, describing in more detail, maybe add some code, what you are after and where you would need some additional help.

Maybe. But there are already two thread about this bug.

Hello everyone,

How to generate altitudes curves/a Contour Map of terrain on OpenStreetMap, Google Map, etc... into FreeCad 0.18.4 with Geomatics workbench?

Example (English): Google Earth and SketchUp

Hi. Firstly Geomatic and Trails will be merge. So you can use import srtm function but I dont now when Joel complate merging. Here is the a test run. After points created you can triangulate it and create contour.
