How can you get the most out of mesh data in QGIS? In this one-on-one course, you’ll learn how to import, visualize, and analyze mesh data to create detailed 2D and 3D maps. You’ll explore how to style flow direction arrows and work with NetCDF files for advanced spatial analysis. With expert support and hands-on exercises, you’ll apply these techniques directly in your own GIS projects.
Mesh data in QGIS is a powerful tool for anyone working with geospatial information. It lets you visualize and analyze complex datasets—well beyond what raster or vector formats can handle. Especially useful for 3D data like terrain models, mesh layers support deeper, multi-dimensional analysis.
In QGIS, mesh data helps you build detailed and interactive maps. You can visualize networks and dynamic datasets by combining multiple data types in one project, offering a clearer, more complete overview of your work.
It also allows for advanced tasks like volume calculations and 3D structure modeling, giving you more accurate insights. Whether you’re working in 2D or 3D, mesh data is a flexible solution for a wide range of GIS challenges.
If you use QGIS regularly, mastering mesh data can boost your productivity and significantly improve the quality of your results.
In this course, you’ll learn how to use mesh data step by step within QGIS. You’ll start with the basics—getting comfortable with the QGIS interface and core tools. Then, you’ll move on to importing, styling, and analyzing mesh data for both 2D and 3D projects.
You’ll learn to process different mesh formats, create animations, and build dynamic maps that show change over time or space. Whether you’re modeling terrain or visualizing movement, these skills will help you turn complex data into clear, compelling outputs.
We’ll also show you how to style flow directions using arrows—ideal for mapping patterns like water currents or wind flow. And you’ll learn how to work with NetCDF files, so you can handle more complex and layered geospatial datasets with ease.
By the end, you’ll be confident working with mesh data in QGIS, ready to apply it to real-world projects with clarity and precision.
Blended learning gives you the best of both worlds—live interaction and flexible self-paced study—so you can build real, job-ready mesh data skills in QGIS.
We start with a live session where you’ll jump right into working with real mesh datasets. With expert guidance, you’ll import data, style flow directions, and create animations that show how conditions evolve over time.
Then, our self-paced modules let you build your skills at your own pace. You’ll explore 2D and 3D mesh layers, process NetCDF files, calculate volumes, and create terrain models—all while building workflows that bring multiple data formats together in one streamlined project.
In the second live session, you’ll apply your skills to a realistic challenge. You’ll refine your visualizations, troubleshoot issues, and get feedback to sharpen your approach.
A highlight of the course is its strong visual focus. You’ll learn to produce maps that clearly communicate movement, change, and spatial relationships—ideal for analysis, planning, or reporting.
By blending hands-on practice with expert instruction, this course helps you go beyond the basics. By the end, you’ll confidently work with mesh layers and build powerful, data-driven maps that get your message across.

We aim to make our courses accessible to as many people as possible. If the course fee is a concern, instead of registering directly, you can indicate on the registration form that you’d like to receive a quote tailored to your needs. In many cases, we can offer flexible solutions. For instance, we can adjust the course content for large groups, shorten the course based on existing knowledge, or offer daily rates to suit your requirements.
Yes, you can reach out to the instructor with questions for up to 2 weeks after the course. Since the instructor is likely teaching other courses, we recommend emailing your questions to info@geo-ict.com. We’ll forward your inquiry to the instructor, and you’ll receive a response within 24 hours. After the 2-week period, we recommend using our Personalized Online Support for continued assistance.
Yes, we offer on-site training regularly throughout the Netherlands. Our instructor will bring laptops for the participants, and all you need to do is arrange a suitable room at your location.
Please send your requirements to info@geo-ict.com, and we will provide a customized quote, which will include travel and accommodation costs. Once the quote is confirmed, our course coordinator will reach out to schedule the training days.
After each course, participants receive a link to our evaluation portal where you can share your feedback on what you liked and didn’t like. We strive to provide a great experience for all our participants, but if you have a complaint, please click on ‘Complaints Procedure’ in the portal.
