[Qgis-user] Imported KML files loses format (e.g. colour coding and line size)

[Winsome Marshall]

Hi Patrick,

 

Thanks for your answer! That's quite annoying though, I assumed because I
could import it directly into ArcGIS without any problems I would be able to
with this program as well. I guess I'll just have to go with it!

Hi Winsome

Good to see another user in Chch :)

I think this is true pretty much with any layer you bring in, you would find
the same if you add any shapefile for example. 

You can store the paths when imported into different shapefiles and then set
a style per shapefile, or multiple styles are possible in one shapefile
using style rules.

Hi,

 

I am a new user and am using QGIS Desktop version 2.18.12. I have a kml file
I have created in Google earth containing lines of various lengths,
thickness and colour. My problem is that when I import into QGIS (using add
vector layer) it only imports the lines and not the thickness or the colour.
I have used a free trial of ARCGIS to import this file without any problems,
so I'm not sure why it would be an issue with this program.

 

Best regards,
