Hello Ujaval,

Thanks for the tutorial, really useful and easy to follow! Just one problem I've encountered:

• I've followed all your instructions to add a menu item and a toolbar button (which I've accomplished) but both the menu item and the toolbar button aren't responsive to clicking. Whenever I click on them I have no response from the program and it's like a useless button.

Also, one question:

• How can I change the menu to be the Vector one instead of the Plugin?

Thanks in advance.

Great tutorial as always. Many thanks

@ArmandCT To add the menu to the Vector menu, use self.iface.addPluginToVectorMenu(). All available methods are in the QgisInterface class.

Regarding the buttons not responding, the button should be connected to a method. In the tutorial, this is done using this line self.action.triggered.connect(self.run).

If you are building plugins, I highly recommend you go through my module on the topic which are on YouTube that covers the topic in much more depth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzwhSOfknck&list=PLppGmFLhQ1HKKnk3riKNyOxb-3MTI-7zE&index=22

HI Ujjaval,
Can you create a plugin using the python code generated by the model builder? Thank you!
