Description

Hi all,

I've a problem when I try to intersect two files (files attached), the result has some empty area.
This is the chronology:
1. I do intersect 2 files like at the picture.

2. But the result, have some empty area.

3. When I check the geometry, apparently there is a geometry error

4. I do zoom in the map to the error indication zone until 1:1 scale, the geometry showed like at the picture

5. I enter to the editor mode to see the node. I click using the node tool and separate them, apparently there are 4 nodes in there

And the polygon in left and right side is one polygon

FYI, I've been tried this file to process in ArcMap, there is no error, and the result is good.

7. When I try to modification this file like in the picture, then I doing intersect again, the result is good.

My question is
a. What is the type of geometry error of this?
b. Is the error process cause by geometry error or QGIS bug, because when I try the same file in ArcMap, the result is good?
c. If this is just a geometry error, what the best step that must I do, besides that I do in the step in number 7?

Thank you.

Regard,

meanwhile I'll bet that if you the same operation with the v.overlay tool in the qgis/Processing toolbox you'll get the right results.

yep, just tested. And also the tool "polygon intersection" always in processing, returns the right results.

Hi Giovanni

I tried to show him to use v.overlay, but unfortunately QGIS package from ubuntugis is not working with GRASS package. Ubuntugis currently provides QGIS 2.8.1 and GRASS 7 and although grass 7 is enabled in processing options etc. All processing commands currently fail with 'grass could not be found'. Guess we need to wait for Radim's patched version of GRASS to land?

Hi Tim,
please check in the general Processing options (under "providers") if GRASS 7 is active. GRASS 7 is already working with Processing and is not dependent on the work being done on the QGIS/GRASS plugin.

Please let me know if it works

cheers!

Use our repositories (with the ubuntugis repository for dependencies) for QGIS 2.8.2 (see QGIS Installers Debian/Ubuntu). We don't upload to launchpad anymore - the ubuntugis packages are created as any other debian packages.

Hi Giovanni,

The setting that you mean is this?

Hi Giovanni,

The setting that you mean is this?

yes, but if you are on Linux and using repositories to install packages then you will have only GRASS7 or GRASS installed (likely GRASS7 if you are on a recent release of Ubuntu): uncheck the version you have not installed.

Hi,

I've tried to do this process in my windows computer.
I just could try the v.overlay process that available in GRASS Commands, because when I use the v.overlay process in GRASS 7 Commands, there is an error notification

And also, when I use the v.overlay in GRASS Commands, I could use it

But there is a problem in the result

if you used the Standalone installer this ships with GRASS 6.4 so it is normal you have to configure Processing to use it instead of GRASS 7.

And also, when I use the v.overlay in GRASS Commands, I could use it
But there is a problem in the result

you are hitting an issue that depends on the limited capacity that shapefiles have for column names length:

in your inputs shapefiles you have columns with similar/identical columns names. The operation will produce an output with column names with a prefix a_ or b_ and together with the 10 char length limit this will produce a shape with a few columns with identical names, and that is not allowed.
If you change the proper column names in your inputs then the operation goes well.

Hi Giovanni,

Thanks for advise me about the column names.
I've tried to delete the column with similar names in both of the files, and the process could running in v.overlay that available at GRASS Commands.
When I put the SS_Agroklimat data as input layer (A), the result is fine.

But, when I put the SS_Geo data as input layer (A), the result still have an empty area.
