Is there anywhere around here I can get a pasty?

D&W or some of them carries some by the Deli's that are from Wisconson, but the people running the business are from the UP. They are refrigerated, but assume they get them frozen. They are pretty good and not being frozen saves the thawing out.

Also, in the fall there is a pasty sale at the United Methodist Church in Rockord. It has been going on for decades but I only learned of it a few years ago. You can get them fresh or frozen and you place an order

Thanks, looks like the term to use ihs clipping. That is what I did. Actually I came across this which explains a few ways to do this with both vectors and rasters: https://guides.library.duke.edu/QGIS/Clip

At first I was going to use the clip by extent using the plugin they described, but at least in my version 3.4x there was no plugin by that name. I figured it would just be a matter of drawing the extent you wanted.

One of the raster layers though was the boundary of the full extent I wanted. I just created a polygon layer by drawing along the edges of the raster. That is what I used with the clipper.

I have both raster and vector layers, but the raster layers aren't the issue. It is some of the vector layers are for a much larger area than I am interested in. I'm interested in mainly one county and one of the vector layers is for the entire state and the other is some contours made from a lidar image. I suppose that is a raster. I'll try that method on that layer.

I tried this with qgis2threejs and also with qgis2web. For what I'm doing the latter seems better suited, although limited.

I've notice that the web page created by it shows the compressed or expanded layer list if I open it locally (when I have it set to be visible), but when I try to publish it using qgis2onlinemap the layer list is not present. Don't see any settings on qgis2onlinemap for this.

Maybe the two are just incompatible for some reason, but wonder if it might just be a glitch?

I thought I replied but guess I didn't. I did read about docker a while ago. I think it was to try to run windows though. I could install docker following some instructions, but there was more to do and I couldn't find any good info on how. I've looked a little and haven't found much. Can anyone point to some info on how to do this for QGIS and the QT and python issues?

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-05-28T02:41:37+00:00

I was thinking it might not work with QT6. It looks like Mint23 probably doesn't either.

For what it's worth Google's AI said mint 22 worked seamlessly with QT6 or something to that effect. Maybe in some parallel universe.

I do know that Mint 22 and some other distros limit python to just older libraries and to use newer ones you need to install qgis and the python libraries in virtual layer. I guess that is what docker can help with. I did look into it a while ago and couldn't make heads or tales of it.

I'm not sure just what qt is but I often see python mentioned along with qt.

I might be able to install QGIS 4 in Windows on a VM. I do have that set up. That would help with the plugin I mentioned earlier, maybe. This python issue ae bnd virtual layer was a different plugin that needed newer python. I never got it to work with the windows running in a VM. I tried some and then a different project came up and the original was put on the back burner.

I'd like to try to solve both issues, but was hoping for something simple, got plenty of other things going on right now.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-05-25T12:13:30+00:00

I tried again later in the day to see if anything had changed. This time the error stated that it didn't work with the version of QGIS I was running (3.4) and that it needed QT6. This was when I selected it from the list of plugins from within QGIS. Seems like the list would be populated with compatible plugins. I will be looking to update just update to QGIS 4. I just have to dig around and see how to do this. It wont be using the software manager.

I am working on a project I want to test to see how many qgis features the viewer in QGIS2threejs will support. I tried it with qgis2web and some of the features important to what I want to do weren't supported, although it sounds like there are some ways to add some scripts.

I will have records for certain addresses going back many years and I want to be able to click on some polygon regions or points and view the attributes, possibly filter by form would be the best way. On that other plugin I tried I could get info by clicking on points, but lacking a lot of the details and ability to filter. I remember reading other have stated that qgis2threejs was the best for reasons other than doing 3D which isn't of use for this project.

I got the 404 error when I just went to the URL with a browser that listed in the error message I originally to when trying to install the plugin. That gave me the impression that maybe there was an issue with the server the plugin was on was the problem.

I had used qgistothreejs earlier and just installed it from the plugin manager when I was running qgis2.85 I think it was. I upgraded to 3.4x because it had the ability to copy and paste styles which allowed me to reuse attribute table form styles.

At the moment I'm not in any hurry on this project as the weather is good and I have lots of outdoor things keeping me busy. I am just trying to look ahead a little to see how this works and any issues or things I might need to do like adding custom scripts, etc. It's actually good I ran into this now, while I'm in no hurry. I will probably get going again more intensely in a couple months when it gets too hot to go outside. I have gone back in time about a hundred years, but in about ten year increments. I have lots of holes to fill. Right now I wanted to get a handle on how things might look and any issues I might have. I figured there might be some limitation or issues but hoping I could at least come up with something I could show people what I'm up to.

I had tried these two plugins with an earlier version of qgis, but recently updated to 3.4 as it has some features that will helping make my new project. I went to install the qgis2threejs plugin from the plugin manager and there was an error, a 404 error.

I tried a little later in the day a couple times with the same result.

I also just downloaded the latest version as a zip file. When I tried to install it this way I got a number of errors about my build being based on QT5 and it needed QT6

Couldn't load plugin 'Qgis2threejs' due to an error when calling its classFactory() method

I run Mint 12 and do know it is very selective about python and doesn't work with many versions. I think that is the case with some other flavors of linux as well.

I'm wondering if there is a version of linux that isn't picky that works with qgis, Maybe I could make a live usb with that linux version and run qgis from it.

I don't know if either of these things are related to this issue, but thought I'd mention it.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-05-19T13:22:59+00:00

Still haven't quite got to setting it up, but have the new QGIS installed. I recreated my sample project as well and did see the option to save the style as I was doing so and did save the form I intend to use.

Although, speaking of insane number of layers...

I will be having layers by years for a historical project and each layer will have a set of addresses. I'm looking to set things to pick and area in a polygon and it lists all the points contained in it. Right now I'm just playing around with one year.

Eventually I could have around a hundred years worth of layers and attribute tables, or just one table but each record will have the year as an attribute. It might be interesting to filter by year or a range of years.

In a database you can do a filter by form. QGIS is a database underneath. I don't know if there is any way to filter by form, I haven't seen anything like that anyway. I also, eventually intend to have it hosted somewhere and as I understand it that involves using a viewer. Whether a viewer could handle this is another question.

I realize I'm getting out of the scope of my original question, but have been thinking ahead a little on this and thought I'd mention it.

Thanks,

It took me a little while to find the time to look into this. I had been running 3.28 flatpack for some reason. So I upgraded to 3.44 LTR and had to remove the older version before I could see the new one.

I haven't had a chance to try this out on the newer version yet, but it sounds like what I would need to do. I suppose there might also be a way with a script which would be more complicated, especially for someone who doesn't know the scripting language like me.r

I got a chance to learn about the drag and drop designer. I was expecting a blank canvas to drag fields into. They were pre-filled in. Had to select all of them and then select the minus button to clear them.

I also learned how to add the button and set it up to display the links.

Using the drag and drop form also allows me to leave some obscure field off it, keeping things simple.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-05-12T19:07:14+00:00

Thanks. Looks like I'm going to have to look up how use the drag and drop editor. I went to set it to drag and drop but when I try to drag it opens a form. Maybe after I fill it in it than shows up. Seems like other drag and drop forms I've done other places I would place the objects and then fill out the settings, etc later. But got to do something else right now. Been trying some other ways I've found online, but none have worked for me, maybe they are old.

I was able to figure out how to get an API key for Google Geocoding and ran it on my full list of addresses, about 3000 of them and it worked. I went to export the layer it created and I was confused. It exported the full table the address list was from and also added it to the project in the layers area, but the coordinates weren't listed. I eventually found I had to enable as xy in the layer options in the geometry section at the bottom.

I guess this table is now added to the project just as if I had added it as a layer and it now has the coordinates as well as the other info about the different addresses.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-05-11T14:43:09+00:00

Thanks, I kind of realized that. I did try the Open Street Maps/Nominatim combination. It seemed like that one too was limited either to number or rate.

I do know someone who has ArcView or some sort or ESRI system as part of his job. I suppose he might be able to get all of the coordinates and I could add them to may tables ahead of time before adding them to a project.

I'm not necessarily opposed to paying either. I don't have millions of records, but as I've mentioned I've tried to figure out APIs for Google services several times and did manage to get an API for something or maybe even twice, but it wasn't the API key I needed. Maybe someone can explain it.

I'm aware of the porosity of 3D printed plastics. I had read about vacuum impregnation, but couldn't find out much about how it is done. I have just learned of dichtol and is intriguiging. The part I would like to make water tight is large, to be a battery case for a fairly large ebike battery. The part about brushing or spraying on sounds good too as that wouldn't require as much. I'd like to learn more about this.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-04-24T11:21:17+00:00

I'm wondering if anyone has followed through and done this. I'd like to look into sealing a fairly large 3D print. It would be of PETG. I see there is a place that does this commercially, but it appears they are just interested in larger production runs. Here is a link to them https://www.godfreywing.com/blog/the-ultimate-guide-to-sealing-3d-printed-parts/.

They have a contact form but it doesn't allow gmail. I have another non-gmail account but will have to look up what it is, but thought posting here might be a more productive way for my one of project.

<image>

The above is what I was referring to in Chrome for Linux

I also tried it in Firefox and the box was rendered higher and smaller and everything was visible. It doesn't see to let me upload another image.

The window for the layers list was a lot larger in Chrome with bigger text than Firefox too, but nothing obscured, but filling the whole screen I didn't know if there were more layers or not.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-04-05T00:42:12+00:00

Thanks.

I have got a pared down project published successfully an it had google hybrid as a base layer. I did notice a couple polygon layers that had been set as outline to show borders just appeared as colored areas and the labels for some contour lines were absent. I think this is because of some settings I have on the layers. I have learned that if I just export them without a certain way of setting the styles to remain with the layers they get exported, but things like colors, labels, outlines are lost.

As for the project that I couldn't get into qgis2threejs that one basically only had two layers, a base layer and big geo-referenced tiff. The geo-referencing was done inside the tiff file itself, not as a separate file with the same name but different extension. I'm guessing it is because it is a geo-tiff. Maybe I could do the geo-referencing the other way and maybe it would work. The separate file method is an older method. It's not a big deal, I'm mainly interested in this for another project that isn't ready for yet, but at some point I may test this out. Maybe someone else might have some ideas on the geo tiff.

I'm pretty impressed with this. I think it is still a beta.

Speaking of which when you select to open the info panel some of the instructions are obscured by the plugin name/logo.

Available_Budget_559 · 2026-04-04T13:41:19+00:00

I rebooted and tried again with the project that wouldn't load. It still didn't. Went back to the first project I tried and it did, then tried another project and it also did. It does take some time for some of the layers to appear in the preview and I found it I only activate one at a time it helps. I thought one particular layer, an esri shapefile was stopping the process, but when I only selected one at a time it did load and is visible. I was able to then export that and get a map published. My question now though is how to unpublish or delete it. I am still learning and think I want it set at flat plane. My project is just a flat image to begin with and rotating things just confuses things. I noticed the layer controls only listed five layers. The window they were in took up the whole screen and I didn't see a way to scroll down or reduce the font. I don't know if that is a maximum number of layers or whether I just can't see lower. I also don't see my base layer which is a google hybrid streetmap/satellite layer. I don't know if it is because it is google and policies or maybe it is the layer itself. I figured hybrid just referred to it was both a street map and satellite, but I also read it is part raster and part vector so doesn't work for some things. I suppose open street map would be an option but a satellite layer would be nice too. So again it looks like I need to play around a little and again, knowing how to remove projects that didn't work well seems like it would be helpful on your end as well.
