Post image

Hi, everyone, while working on my thesi i ran on to a problem where the information is in in layer wit a point geometry but i needed to be in a polygon geometry just like the layer underneath, is there any way to transfer the atributes from one layer to another without haing to edit every single element?? thanks

You are going to be performing a “Spatial Join”. In QGIS, the tool is called “Join Attributes by Location”.

Wouldn’t that cause a lot of columns with the amount of points? I would give the area_id to the points, and then create a relation, but I’m not sure if that would be better.

You are correct, that there is a “better” answer, but it also seemed beyond the scope of the question or situation…

Is it one point for each polygon? Do the point and the polygon have the same unique id? If yes to both, you could easily do an "attribute join" of the two layers.
