I am trying to divide a DTM model in subbasins but I have set specific outlet points for the subbasins, and not to use a thershold.  Is there a tool similar to r.water.outlet but with multiple outlet points that allows to do that on QGIS?

I followed @Micha's instruction and successfully used the modules in GRASS. I use r.watershed to get the basin raster and the drainage line：  and I use r.water.outlet to get the watershed of one outlet：  I got the whole basin area of the green outlet point, but all I want is the little part of the original basin area, like this：part B is what I want  This schematic photo shows the idea of what I want：  Can I achieve this goal using r.water.outlet or other modules in GRASS？ Or all I can do is using the intersect tool in Geoprocessing tools in QGIS？  I want to find the watershed area, but using QGIS. I have following files to work with：  stream network shapefile(polyline) point shapefile clipped from the polyline shapefile a whole island(the stream is inside the island) DEM(I got 2 types:.lan &amp; .tiff)  I want to find the total watershed area located upstream of every point in the network, here's the schematic diagram：  the green, red, and yellow line enclose the watershed of each point(here I only take 3 points as the example), and I want to calculate their area. I already got the DEM file, and I must cut the region that contains the stream off, should I polygonize it first？ Can I directly use this form(.lan or .tiff) to work with GRASS？

I am new to QGIS. I am looking for any plugin or any manual method in QGIS for finding minimum distance (perpendicular distance) from a point which is part of one shapefile to nearest line among many lines which is part of another shapefile.   MMQGIS is not useful for this purpose.

Given polygons - like landcover in OpenStreetMap or street areas in cadastre - how can one suppress those polygon boundaries which are shared by objects (features) of same type in QGIS (see figure below)? AFAIK there exists no such symbolization rules in QGIS 2.6 (yet). It doesn't seem useful to aggregate (union) the geometries. But preprocessing could still be an approach, like splitting the common boundaries first, then &quot;suppressing&quot; these when rendering. Any ideas?

I do not want to download the whole map of an area. I just want rivers and other waterbodies present in an area in shapefiles so that I can use them in QGIS. I tried geofabrik but it is giving whole map and that also of full country while i need data of a city. Right now I am trying JOSM. will update you when it will works.

I have a shapefile containing contour for a large area, and I want to split it into different shapefiles each covering a 1KM X 1KM area. I have already created the required Grid shapefile in QGIS.  How do I now split the contours using the created Grid?  I am searching for something equivalent to the  in ArcGIS.

I'm using QGIS 2.4.0 and I have a shapefile of points with elevation data and X and Y coordinates. I'm using windows 7 OS.  The idea is to create a contour line SHP using my point data.  My question is: How do I start working on that issue? Is there a function? Is there a step by step process?

I have several shp files which are the components (or tiles) of a map, I have joint all these tiles together to have a large shp file. Then I realized some of the polygon is now split into 2 halves, as the upper part belongs to a tile, while the lower part belongs to another tile.  This output disturbs me a lot as I need to fill some polygon, but not part of the "split polygon", so I need to find a way to merge these split polygon back to one (preferably mechanical way, as I have 10000+ polygons, not knowing which are split, which are not).  I need to know if the two or more polygons originate from the larger polygon. And I think I can somehow use union and spRbind to create an algorithm for this task. But I doubt if I am really the first one who encounters this problem, so I wonder if there is any existing tool in R that can solve this.  Thanks.

I'm new to QGIS and have no programming skills.  Is there an easy/uncomplicated way to create multiple buffers around a line feature?

I need to find the distance between points in separate layers along a stream network. I have source sites for macro-invertebrates and sites where they are lacking. I need to find the distance between the source sites and the sites where they are not through the stream network.   I tried the linear referencing toolbox but the locate features along route tool can only use one layer of points and has not way to differentiate between sources and not source sites.  Any ideas?  I am using ArcMap 10.3?

In this project, I have three polygons, see the image below  'Polygons_From', includes input attributes, i.g. &quot;Value_1&quot;, &quot;Value_2&quot;, &quot;Value_3&quot;, and $area for each quadrate (on the image there are two types of them). 'Polygons_To' polygons for which new values &quot;Value_1_new&quot;, &quot;Value_2_new&quot;, &quot;Value_3_new&quot; need to be defined 'Border' defines an area where the calculation should be done.   My task is to transfer values from 'Polygons_From' into 'Polygons_To' based on a certain aspect/ratio. Of course, I can simply achieve it with the 'Union' function as was suggested in . It uses $area-factor, but perhaps there are better approaches that will lead me to a much more efficient output? So, I am asking for a recommendation regarding the technique/workflow that can be applied in QGIS 2.18. Shall I consider only $area or there are some other criteria? Moreover, I looking forward to finding some papers that may improve my general understanding of the methodology.  References:

I have a river network (lines) and a .shp with states (polygon). I would like to split the lines at the state boundaries i.e. split lines by polygon boundaries. Is there a geoprocessing tool to do this in QGIS? I can't merge the lines by the way, since they are meaningfully split into tributaries/main river.

I want to automatically split all lines in a QGIS layer at their vertices (). I've done a Google search and found , which is quite close but the workflow is complicated. Because I'll have to train my co-workers (who are unfamiliar with GIS) to use this tool, I want something as simple as a plugin or something that doesn't require GRASS. Since it's been a long time from 2010 - the time of , I wonder if there is any better way to achieve the same result?

I am using the QGIS expression builder for the label properties of my data.  Is it possible to put different parts of the label in different coordinates on the map?  For instance I have a linestring and I would like to have "A" displayed in the beginning of the linestring and "B" in the end of it.

I am using QGIS 2.18 . I have shapefile which contains multiple lines. After processing certain data processing , I need to draw parallel lines at different distances from existing lines. For example I have 32 lines in existing shapefile. I want to draw parallel lines at distance of 50, 100, 170, 500,400 from line ID no. 3 ,6,20,25,31 in one go. Is there any method or plugin in QGIS for doing same?

I have a water network which and I need to install elbows and Tees (T). When 2 lines connect to a point, I want to install an elbow, when 3 lines connect, I want to install a Tee.   How do I get ArcGIS or QGIS to determine how many lines are connected to a point and designate an elbow or a tee based on that criteria?

I want to connect all points in a point feature with every possible line segment using QGIS. For example, how a pentagon has five points with ten line segments connecting them all to form a pentagram inside. Alternatively phrased: How do I make spokes when all the points are hubs? I don't care about the order, I just want every connection between two points as one line each. Is there a tool or script that can do this in QGIS? This topic () is the closest to what I want but the plugins are no longer supported.

I am working with lithological data, where I have multiple z depths for one set of coordinates. How is this read by the raster interpolation toolset? Does it utilize only one or all of these z values?  If it does not recognize multiple values, is there a type of interpolation I can use that can?   My ultimate goal is to create something in ArcScene that has a 3D appearance and can demonstrate the profundity of a certain lithology.
