I am having problems with r.viewshed.cva in GRASS GIS 7.0.3 and 7.0.4. I run the addon with the DEM and 100 random vector points as input. The vector points are composed by the cat, and X and Y colum with coordinates. Finally I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\GRASS7\addons/script s/r.viewshed.cva.py", line 174, in main() File "C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\GRASS7\addons/script s/r.viewshed.cva.py", line 140, in main if flags['k'] and options["name_col"] is not '': KeyError: 'name_col'

My laptop is a Core i7, Windows 10.

  • Note that the routine is constrained to points in the current geographic region.

Have you set the region Before running viewshed? Maybe its trying to perform viewshed where you have no dem data?

You can set region in menu Settings-Region-Set region. You can also use a command line. To set to your DEM raster use command g.region rast=elevation.dem, replace elevation.dem with raster name

  • I have already set the region, but seems to not be that the problem

  • Did you try to install it from the console? g.extension r.viewshed.cva

The addon was broken and should be fixed now. For running it on Windows please wait for tomorrow to install the updated version. For these cases you might consider asking on grass-users mailing list where you usually get faster response.
