I'm trying to calculate viewshed from a set a points (gpkg). From what I can understand, I first need to run the "create Viewpoints" algorithm. After I do it, a new layer named "output" is created, but I don't understand what my next step should be. If I try to simply run the viewshed command (from the visibility analysis plugin), it does not work, indicating that no viewpoints exist in that area.

What am I missing here? This used to be quite a simple task in versions 2.14 and 2.18.

As a workaround, I've tried manually creating observ_hgt and radius fields in the points layers and then runing the Viewshed command. It seemed to be working, but in the end I got the following error:
