==Generate IDW Interpolation==
Generate a IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted) interpolation of the zZ shape points layer, using the QGIS processing tool 'IDW Interpolation'. For more information about this tool, please refer to <u>[https://docs.qgis.org/3.34/en/docs/user_manual/processing_algs/qgis/interpolation.html#qgisidwinterpolation QGIS Documentation - IDW Interpolation]</u>.
<ol>
<li> In QGIS, load all Z shape point layers within the merge polygon extent (e.g. '''2d_zsh_M02_landscape_002_P''').
<li>Go to 'Interpolation' in the processing tool list and select 'IDW Interpolation'. This opens the dialog shown below:
*Vector layer: Select the zZ shape points layer (e.g. '''2d_zsh_M02_landscape_002_P''').
*Interpolation attribute: Select '''Z'''. This is the attribute that contains elevation data.
*Click [[File: QGIS_3D_Animation_add_keyframe_button_01.png|30px]] to add the vector layer to the table. Repeat the above two points for all points layers within the merge polygon extent.
*Repeat the above three points for all Z shape points layers within the merge polygon extent.
*Distance coefficient P: Leave as default.
*Extent: Click down arrow [[File: interpolation_extent_icon.png|40]] and select 'Calculate from Layer' >> 'Draped_Polygon'.
*Interpolated: Leave as default.
*Tick on 'Open output file after running algorithm'.
