I want to create points along a polyline.
The distance between each „nearest-to-point“ position on the line and the shortest distance of each point to the line should be 2 parameters that can be set before creating this point layer. The points should also alternate the sides.
The wished result would loke like the this:
You can use Geometry by expression with the expression:
nodes_to_points( triangular_wave( $geometry, 100, 10))
It will create a zigzag-wave along the line where 100 is the wavelength and 10 the amplitude, then extract the vertices:
