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-import Both 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 Andrew
