[Qgis-user] intersection question

[kirk]

Hi Matt.The trick is to use the attributes to id each layer before you run the intersection. So create a new field for each layer and give each polygon the same number. So layer 1, maybe 1.  Do the same for the second or even third layer, use 2, or something different from the first layer.  Complete your intersect and you can determine the origin of each resulting polygon.If you use 1 and 2 to identify the layers. New polygons with the attribute of 1 or 2 did not intersect.  Polygons with 1 and 2 did.Kirk SchmidtSent from my Galaxy
