This value is used to create a flat buffer around the elevation profile line, visible in the main map canvas.
Any visible feature (point, line, polygon, etc.) overlapping that buffer will be captured in the plot canvas.

.. note:: **Limitations - Line and polygon extrusion**

In the |elevationscale| :guilabel:`Elevation` properties tab of a layer, it is possible to activate the extrusion.
This works fine for points or lines in any case.
However, when tolerance is enabled and for 3D lines or 3D polygons,
extrusion is not trivial because it is equivalent to representing a 3D object
(the 3D polygon is re-projected into a 2D polygon in the elevation profile view but with the extrusion dimension).
Thus, right now, polygon extrusion is disabled when tolerance is enabled.
.. note:: **Limitations with polygon extrusion**

Geometry extrusion can be set in the |elevationscale| :guilabel:`Elevation` properties of a layer,
and rendered in the profile view. When tolerance is enabled, it is however not trivial to render extruded polygons,
thus, for now, polygon extrusion is ignored.
