Hi Kristian,

I was thinking maybe I needed to use the towgs84  in the proj.4 but maybe I was wrong, so what can I do in QGIS, will ask tomorrow to see if there is a 4 point projection parameters I can use.

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

>From your description I have no idea of what you are trying to do. It does however look like the parameters you have is for a 2D Helmert transformation. That is not something you can do in QGIS today. All transformations in QGIS are carried out by PROJ.4. The good news is that in the coming version of PROJ.4 the 2D Helmert is available (as well as a bunch of other geodetic transformations). Eventually this will be available to you in QGIS as well.

I have been given the parameters for a local grid – it’s a version of UTM Zone 29N but I’m not sure where I need to change the syntax

The parameters I have been given are:

rl_correct =       -24.273
yd1=                 22737.030
xd1=                 17332.250
yd2=                 25987.560
xd2=                 17893.870
ym1=                1193806.320
xm1=                820224.327
ym2=                1196784.417
ym2=                821648.929

Note the Z adjustment

This results in the following transformation

Scale=              1.00801358
Rotation=          15.4548
Shift x=            1171069.29
Shift y=            802891.987


Can someone point me in the right direction as to where these are entered?

+proj=utm +zone=29 +datum=WGS84 +units=m +no_defs

Thanks

Chris
