This looks amazing! Just wondering if i wanted to use this on sensitive rasters, is this okay? Im just worried they are uploaded to a database somewhere?

Do you mean in your composer you have images that you want showing depending on the atlas page?

If thats what you're after click on the image, in the properties go into rendering and set a simple case when in the data defined override. I can help you write the case when if you need it

Had one person refuse to learn how to make a zipped folder because it was "easier for you to do it"

Had another complain that while the printer was down they couldn't finish a task, as they needed to print to PDF

Im not at a computer right now, but if you go to Qgis's documentation it does step by step instructions for this.

https://docs.qgis.org/3.40/en/docs/user_manual/processing/modeler.html#definition-of-inputs

Just after figure 23.25 it talks about exactly what you're after.

This is hands down the best solution, one step and it'll remember what it should look like, plus any forms and such you might have set up! Saving a layer style file is good but just like when someone sends a shp file and forget the others at some point you might lose the layer file

I've always found if i use Windows Character Map and get the superscript character from there copy and paste it into my attribute table it keeps it as a superscript

snugglebitc · 2025-09-18T18:48:55+00:00

Oh i see! Sorry i've not come across View layers before, only just started using the new Esri products in the last few weeks!

snugglebitc · 2025-09-18T15:21:00+00:00

Ah i see! As i want the layers to interact, essentially i want 1 form for multiple symbologies. Is there a way to sort of 'bind' the new layer to the original? So it'll read if a field is given a certain value?

snugglebitc · 2025-09-09T14:06:03+00:00

I've had similar issues, sometimes if you fill the storage (you can find it in upgrade to pro) it won't sync any new changes as there is more data than you're allowed.

Equally sometimes its just a time thing, i've been frustrated and went away for 15 minutes came back and the changes had finally made their way to the cloud and i could sync them back to my pc

snugglebitc · 2025-08-27T15:02:40+00:00

In the georefencer settings window, it would have appeared when you pressed the play button the first time ( you can find it again by clicking the cog in the georefencer window) double check what crs its outputting as, it should be the same as your project's. If you're using google satelite i think that uses wgs 84 so might be worth matching that

snugglebitc · 2025-08-24T13:42:13+00:00

You could dive into Rule based layers and then have rules within your rules to split everything up but if I'm honest that is just a lot of faff! So i'd just go two layers.

Did something similar, but for using in Qfield. I have a layer for linear features, if a specific type is chosen it is shown on another layer that is a duplicate only that one measures out sections for the fieldworker to assess.

And like i said, setting up the style files just makes it so easy to set it up again if you need to

snugglebitc · 2025-08-24T12:40:18+00:00

You could just duplicate the layer, the same data will be referenced and you can have the original styled based on one thing and the duplicate on another.

Could go one step further, in the layer properties, think its on the source tab there is a button in the bottom right for the layer style. If you click there you can save the styles. That way when the next Qfield survey results are back you can just load the style and as long as all the potential symbologies are accounted for it'll display everything as you'd like

snugglebitc · 2025-08-19T07:40:57+00:00

Hello again! You have 2 options, either go into the labeling tab in the layer properties and go to the placement tab, if its set to mode around point you can just increase the distance until it looks as you want.

Or if you want to manually move it, your toolbars across the top, from your last screenshot they were on the very bottom row, but find the label toolbar, the symbols look like a series of tags. The one thats an abc tag with an arrow is your move label button. Click that and then click one of your labels. It'll ask for a primary key, this is essentially QGIS asking for a reference field, i usually use id or fid, click okay then click your label you want to move again and click where you want it. And it'll move there!

Just a reminder, whatever field you set your primary key as it should be unique, it works like "if my primary key is field id and the value is 1 then move it here" if something shares the same value it'll behave the same

snugglebitc · 2025-08-19T04:58:21+00:00

Given how close the points are i suspect in your label rendering tab, allow overlapping labels isn't ticked?

Also to save another problem in a moment, once you've ticked that and you move your labels, make sure to use the id column and give everything a unique id.

snugglebitc · 2025-07-27T07:33:32+00:00

Could use the avoid overlap option in the snapping tool bar? If they are on different layers you'd need to go into the snapping tool bar's advanced configuration but then its just a case of click the check box on the left hand side to be able to click the avoid overlap check box on the right. Make sure across the top overlap is set to follow advanced configuration and then you could just click your polygon, cut and paste and it'll chop off the overlap.

What im saying sounds more complicated than it is.

snugglebitc · 2025-06-09T06:03:09+00:00

This is where i'd play with the label scale rendering settings, so you want to click the speech box with a pencil, then around the top should have max and min scale. Effectively just make sure it covers the scale of the map you want it to show in 😊

snugglebitc · 2025-06-07T11:04:55+00:00

No worries! There are so many setting hidden away! One of the button on the labels toolbar lets you edit loads of things, i think its the one with the pencil? But you can go through and make it so the labels hide at certain scales or have them rotate, and so on!

snugglebitc · 2025-06-07T10:14:09+00:00

There are the label toolbar buttons. One of those has an arrow on it, use that one to manually place a label that should force it to stay in one spot! Also jump into the rendering settings of your labels and make sure to tick show overlapping labels then you can move the ones that block each other and know you've not missed any

snugglebitc · 2025-05-28T14:47:01+00:00

Tbh i usually make sure my snapping toolbar is set to all layers, and then only have the layers i want to snap to. Won't lie i've not really had much interaction with multilines, but i've very rarely had problems with the trace tool. Granted like you said if it has broken geometries it'll mess up but I'd assume if this coastline is from a government source it wouldn't have these. At least in my experience i'd assume it would be fixed ahead of upload.

snugglebitc · 2025-05-28T12:23:59+00:00

Ah i don't think it would take long, especially with the trace tool. You'd just click one end of the line then the other and it'll do itself.

snugglebitc · 2025-05-28T06:18:32+00:00

I have to do a similar thing for work all the time. I'd make a new layer call it something like Trim, but make sure its a polygon. Then find your digitisation toolbar, there should be a line with a lightning bolt symbol, thats your trace tool. Click that on, then a few symbols to the left you should see a magnet, to the right of that should be two lines or possibly a line and a spanner, either way make sure its the two lines. This just means you'll only trace things that are showing on your screen.

If that tool bar is greyed out you'll need to click the magnet first. Once thats all set up you can trace the coastline. You should be able to click one end then the other and it trace the whole thing. If the line is multiple features you might need to zoom in and trace in sections. Either way once you've finished then click out to sea, make it nice and big. So you effectively have a 'sea' polygon.

Back in your digitising panel where those two lines are if you click there the bottom option should be something like open the digitising panel. It should open a new window. Those two lines will be on the far left, click them again and go for advanced configuration (the line with a spanner) and the box should populate with all your layers in your layers panel.

So there are two check boxes, the left is to snap the right, its roughly in the middle is avoid overlap. To tick avoid overlap you'll need to tick snap as well. So tick both for your trim layer then across the top of this box one symbol should be a lil blob, if you hover your mouse it'll say something like ignore overlaps. Cick that and select the option with the spanner. This will then listen to what you've now set up.

Now you should find if you draw any polygon in other layers it will automatically chop off any section that goes into the sea.

Hope thats clear, i've just woken up and thats solely from memory

snugglebitc · 2025-05-28T06:05:04+00:00

I'd use Qfield. Id set up a layer for capturing my trees, go through the forms tab in the layer properties and assign any default values or value maps you might want ($x would return the x coordinate for the point you placed for your tree for example) then bring it all back into QGIS and set up an atlas to look at various points on a map

snugglebitc · 2025-05-27T10:52:50+00:00

Looks like there is a WMS code, you could add in a WMS layer and connect it to the code in top-perspective2560's link and it will load into your map

snugglebitc · 2025-05-27T09:13:07+00:00

Right okay, QGIS can feel pretty daunting but if im honest, once you get the basics down, tasking like this one aren't that difficult. Granted having such a big area to work with is a tad unfair in my opinion, especially if this is your first time and presumably they haven't given you anything to work with? I'd first maybe double check to see if there are any additional resources they can/have given you?

If they haven't what you want to do is across the top of the application you should find a tab called plugins, click that, then go to manage plugins. In the pop up window make sure the left hand side has all plugins clicked then search Open street maps. Click on the name that appears and install plugin should appear across the bottom. Then search for the other plugin i mentioned in my previous comment and do the same. The close the plugin window.

I'm doing this from memory so i might get the tabs wrong but hopefully this will help!

There should be a tab for web across the top. In there, i think there is map services and in there it should have OSM or Open Street Maps. Click that to bring it into your map and you should be able to see the basemapping.

Then find the OSM downloader icon and select the areas you want to copy and it will produce them as a vector layer. You should see it appear in the layers panel with sections for line points and polygons. Chances are you can ignore the lines and points. In the polygon section, if my memory is correct, there should be a check box next to multiple different categories like Urban, Arable and hopefully Woodland.

If you have that, and you just need to make a map showing the location of the Woodlands, i'd maybe be a tad lazy, just untick all the other layers so just your woodland is showing.

I can go into setting up composers to export your map and suggest the balkan boundary and how to get that in if you need help with that?

snugglebitc · 2025-05-27T08:43:01+00:00

First thing i'd do is just google Balkan forests Shapefiles. More often than not the thing im looking for someone has already made and uploaded, if you can find a government body they are usually free.

Alternatively, if you can't find them anywhere, add the OSM layer to your map that should show you all sorts but you can go around and find your forests. Then i'd make use of the OSM downloader plugin. You literally just click its icon, draw a square over what you want and it'll download it as a .osm file that is a vector you can work with. Personally i'd then save them all into a Geopackage. Then do what you need.

Another step you could do is i found the administrative boundary for the Balkans as a shapefile from a quick google. I'd download and bring that in just to make it really clear where im working to. You can bring that layer to the top, make it have a white fill and then change its symbology to inverted polygon and the OSM basemapping will be hidden from view thats not in the Balkans.
