Hello
With Xavier promising great things with style sheets for shp files ;-)
I thought I should take a look at using shp files.
I'm making progress with QGIS, it is a little confusing, so there are so
many things I could have done wrong, plus I still really do not know
what to search for when something does go wrong.
On QGIS I've successfully imported therions kml file and the 3d produced
using
https://github.com/patrickbwarren/qgis3-survex-importBoth of these appear about where I would expect them.
When I import the .shp as a directory I'm given 4 options I don't really
understand.
However it appears in the sea, off the coast of Africa, I can change the
projection CRS, but then it is still off the coast, but this time near
the Silly Isles, so close to 0,0 for the OSGB grid. Which suggests to me
that the file contains local co-ordinates of the map square ST which is
how I inputted them.
So why do the kml and the 3d import work in the right place and the shp
not work? What am I missing?
I'm sure this must have come up before in the mailing list, however, I
cannot find it!
I'm using
http://www.cave-registry.org.uk/svn/CheddarCatchment/Goughs/the thconfig_plan file
Has been edited locally to have the following exports
export map -proj plan -layout local -o Goughs_Plan.pdf
export map -proj plan -layout local -o Goughs_Plan.kml
export map -proj plan -layout local -o Goughs_Plan.bbox
export map -proj plan -layout local -o Goughs_Plan.shp
export model -o Goughsth.3d
