GeoCad UAV Toolkit is a QGIS plugin for integrated geospatial
work: technical CAD drawing, reforestation design, and UAV
photogrammetric mission planning. The three modules share one geometry
engine, one terrain model and one cadastral service.

CAD. Parametric geometry -- square, rectangle, regular polygon, circle,
arc, line, polyline -- with dimensional input (side, angle, radius) and
native QGIS snapping. Move, rotate and resize preserve the construction
parameters. Every shape placed queries the cadastre on its own geometry
rather than on a point: the attribute table carries five columns (Area,
Perimeter, Municipality, Sheet, Parcel) and the full reading -- every
municipality, every sheet, every parcel, with cadastral area, intersected
area and percentage -- stays in the panel and on the map.

REFORESTATION. A sixteen-step workflow: area definition, cadastral data,
elevation model, constraints and setbacks, homogeneous zones, species
catalogue and composition, density and planting pattern with
trigonometric slope correction, row orientation, plant generation,
naturalistic pass (glades, irregularity, per-species minimum distances),
comparative optimisation, anomaly checks, plant editing on the layer, map
composition and deliverables.

UAV. Photogrammetric planning in twelve steps: mission area from a
polygon or from a linear axis for corridors, drone and sensor libraries,
bidirectional GSD calculator (flight height and ground resolution are two
ends of the same optical relation), real terrain following on the DEM
with an elevation profile, acquisition parameters and overlaps, strip
generation with a measured azimuth, waypoints and exposure stations,
safety checks against obstacles and endurance, mission preview on the
map, flight simulation with ground footprints and live coverage,
pre-flight validation and export.

CADASTRE. Queries the INSPIRE WFS service of the Italian Agenzia delle
Entrate, with real geometric intersection. A geometry spanning several
municipalities returns all of them, every sheet and every parcel
involved, each with its cadastral area, intersected area, percentage of
the parcel and percentage of the project; Belfiore codes are resolved to
municipality names. Large bounding boxes are tiled, merged and
deduplicated, so a provider that stops at its own feature ceiling does
not silently truncate the answer. The same engine serves the CAD module
and the reforestation module.

DEM AND TERRAIN. One terrain model for the whole plugin: slope and
aspect for the planting pattern, flight height for the UAV mission. The
raster is reprojected from the CRS the QGIS layer declares, which is the
one QGIS draws it with. Waypoint heights really follow the ground.

CARTOGRAPHY AND EXPORT. Map sheets on QgsPrintLayout from A4 to A0,
portrait and landscape, with legend, scale bar, north arrow and grid.
Reports in PDF, Word and Excel. Missions in GeoPackage, GeoJSON, KML,
KMZ, GPX, CSV, Litchi, MAVLink and native DJI WPML, the last one
restricted to the aircraft DJI documents as compatible.

INTEGRATION. GIS, CAD, cadastre, reforestation, UAV, photogrammetry and
cartography work on the same data: the area drawn with the CAD tools is
the reforestation project area, the reforestation DEM is the terrain
following DEM, and the forestry project generates the flight mission
that documents it.

Interface and reports are in Italian.
