[Qgis-user] QGIS 3.2.0 Layer Style issue

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Richard, 

I meant that you can use the "No Symbols" renderer in combination with
the rule based renderer to get the features for the labels you want. 

Apparently, QGIS does not label, if the features aren't retrieved for
symbology - but you can work around that by creating a rule (using scale
ranges) and combine it with the "No Symbols" renderer. By doing that,
you won't have to duplicate the layers for such situations. The "No
symbols" renderer does retrieve the features and you can label them, but
in that rule they are not drawn for symbology.
