[Qgis-user] Self Intersections: Issues with Polygon Features

[Isenmann, Werner (RPF)]

Hi,

some colleagues have problems with shapefiles (really...) that contain polygons with self-intersections. The Vector Overlay - Clip tool, for example, cannot be executed because the algorithm does not run due to the self-intersection. Before executing the tool, the parameter 'Invalid feature filtering' can be set to 'Skip (Ignore) Features with Invalid Geometies'. The faulty polygons are then skipped, which is not desirable, however.

QGIS offers various options for repairing self-intersections, for example:
1) Vector - Check Geometries plugin: however, this sometimes has very long runtimes which might not be acceptable.
2) Vector Geometry - Check Validity
a - Method QGIS: takes a very long time, or does not run through
b - Method GEOS: works correctly and quickly. However, only the first error is ever found. This is not convenient for files with many errors.

Does anyone know a good solution for repairing (many) self-intersections with high performance in QGIS?

Many thanks in advance,
Werner
