Hi the logic behind it is to create an overlap that covers your common border. This overlap must include the "initial" and "ending" node of the common border. If you do not do so you will receive the error message.<br><br>look at the pictures at the end of this thread, and notice the way the overlaps are digitized.<br><br>http://forum.qgis.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9351&sid=a5887bde35ba046089071e671b354d7f<br><br>hope it helps<br><br>Gerardo Jiménez Delgado<br>Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas<br>Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México<br>Ciudad Universitaria s/n<br>Coyoacan 04510

<div>Create new Shapefile layer 01 (Polygon)</div><div>Set snapping options for Shapefile to:</div><div>Mode: to vertex</div><div>Tolerance:15</div><div>Units: pixels</div><div>Avoid Int: Checked</div><div><br></div><div>
Draw some vectors and get intersections working. ( very cool feature ! )</div><div><br></div><div>Create new Shapefile layer 02 (Polygon)</div><div>toggle edit mode for layer 01</div><div>select new Shapefile layer and toggle edit mode</div>
<div>draw a triangle</div><div><br></div><div>Now I get an error message:</div><div>The feature could not be added because removing the polygon intersections would change the geometry type.</div><div><br></div><div>So I thought it might have to do with the snapping settings so I set the snapping settings for layer02 the be the same as layer01.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Draw triangle still get the same error.</div><div><br></div><div>Uncheck the Avoid Int checkbox for layer01</div><div><br></div><div>Draw Triangle, no error message.</div><div><br></div><div>I don't understand why that would cause the error message to go away. Is avoid intersections not supposed to be limited to a specific layer?</div>
