Problem with elevation command (non-ASCII characters in raster filename)

Question

When using the elevation command appear a phyton code error, that says:

"Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:/Users/carhuich/.qgis2/python/plugins\rivergis\rivergis_plugin.py", line 56, in run

self.dlg = RiverGIS(self.iface)

self.rgis.addInfo('Layers sources:\n {0}'.format('\n '.join(self.uris)))

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe1' in position 5: ordinal not in range(128)"

What does it mean?

Best regards,

It seems like some of your vector or raster layers loaded in QGIS view has non-ASCII characters in their names or paths (for example: ę, ą, ż, ź etc.). Please remove non-ASCII characters from your files names, directories names and paths. Then try to run tool again.

if you are not sure what characters are ASCII characters check this table:

Thank you for your help.
Another question, is the option to create cross-sections automatically as it does HEC-GeoRAS?
Best regards,

Sorry, there is no such tool in the RiverGIS.
