I'm a newbie using QGIS 2.12 and I'm trying to split a line in QGIS and place points every x meters. There is a tool in ArcGIS (divide by length add in). How to achieve this in QGIS?

    You can use a tool in the processing toolbox called "densify geometries at a given interval". You can found it at Qgis geoalgorithms/vector geometry tools/densify geometries at a given interval. The tool will add nodes at the interval desired. Bear in mind to use the processing toolbox in advanced interface.

  • In case anyone is still looking for this like I was: There is now a 'Points along geometry' in the Processing Toolbox

I think this requires 2 tools, both of which can be accessed from the Processing Toolbox:

  1. GRASS - v.split.length

Line example

v.split.length

Line split

  1. SAGA - Convert Polygon/Line Vertices to Points

Convert Polygon/Line Vertices to Points

Vertices

  • @Jeff - Most welcome buddy! As pointed out by others, there are other tools which you could also use (I always use the ones mentioned above).
