[Qgis-user] styling to cut out underlying features

[Fuenfer-Koenigstein.Benjamin2 at swm.de]

Hi Andreas,

thats exactly what I'm looking for or even better because I didn't think about symbol levels yet! Looking forward to see this QEP getting realized some day!

Regards
Benjamin

Hi Benjamin,

Just to see if I correctly understand you.

Something along the lines of the selective masking proposal at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/63 where one could select not only layers, but also symbol levels (symbol layers inside a layer) to selectively mask underlying symbol layers.

Unfortunately this isn't implemented yet. Still looking for funders - probably something for QGIS 3.2

Is this what you want, or something else?

Greetings,
Andreas

Hi all,

I am looking for a way to style a point feature layer in a way that underlying features are cut out by the point symbols so a raster layer at the bottom of the layer tree is visible. In other words, the point symbol should make underlying vector features transparent. Physically editing the underlying features is not practicable as I'm working with read only data sources. I'm happy to hear your ideas!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
