[Qgis-user] problems with 'geometry creator'

[DelazJ]

Hi Tobias,

I'm not sure what you did is the way to get what you expected (from what
I've understood); I'd not be that confident on your process (note that I
don't mean your result is false).

Line_merge function like most of the expression functions in QGIS (except
aggregate ones) works feature by feature, meaning that it processes only
the geometry you provide in the bracket and, in your expression, afaict,
you simply provide the existing geometry (of each feature) --> this might
actually return the same geometry. So it won't merge your five features
into one, be it line or multi linestring.

As mentioned by Matthias, virtual layer or collect option in aggregate
function (which I think is a 3.0 feature - didn't test it though) might be
the solution if you want a single feature.

That said, doesn't the Symbol levels option (
http://docs.qgis.org/testing/en/docs/user_manual/working_with_vector/vector_properties.html#symbols-levels)
already solve your issue?
Looks like your change is simply for a better rendering/join of lines and
it's what this option is designed for...

got it working - my MultiLinestring was buggy.
So it wasn't "random trying", but an input error.

Best regards,
