qgis - Create points at 50m intervals along line in EPSG:4326

I have read multiple post on how to create points along the line. I have lines that represent routes. On this lines i would like to create point at the distance of 50m. I have tried different things:

• QChainage Plugin



• Geoalgorithims->Vector is the "Convert Lines to Points" option


• and also GRASS module v.to.point

However, I do not get the desired output. I have been trying for a while. I must be missing something very basic.

When using the aforementioned techniques, I only get point at the start of my route and at the end. I would like to use a 50m interval between the points. I tried to specify that, but failed...

QUESTION

1. Am I using the right technique?


2. How do i specify the distance between the points?

Answer

There is an alternative way how to convert lines to points at 50m interval, which I found somewhat more straight forward:

1. Convert the layer that contains your line to CRS: *CRS = Belge Lambert 1972, because this one is in meters.


2. download the plugin QChainage


3. go to vector|QChainage|QChainage. Notice, now we work with meters. Select the layer that you would like to convert to points. Set Chainage every 50m. Click on OK.

Doing these 3 steps you will convert your line to points at every 50m
