QGIS Tips and Tricks – September 20th 2023

Aug 21, 2023 | GIS, QGIS, Training

I’m doing this one again before the FOSS4GNA conference

The last time I did this it was pretty fun. First workshop/training class I had that almost sold out in forever. I cover 16 things with QGIS that you may not know it can do – or maybe you do. We cover:

  • Quick Introduction to QGIS
  • QGIS Projects 
  • Profiles 
  • Geopackage 
  • ESRI File Geodatabase
  • Multiple Views 
  • Forms
  • Aggregate Function
  • LIDAR 
  • Live Layers 
  • Plugins
  • Geoprocessing 
  • Command Line Tools
  • Model Builder 
  • Locator Bar
  • Spatial Bookmarks
  • File a Bug Report

It’s a quick run through 16 subjects so we won’t be moving slow. Hopefully you have some idea about QGIS because this is way past “introduction”. Some of these subjects I can do in 5 minutes and some may take 20. I threw out the three most problematic ffrom the last run through. Replaced those with three easier to explain things (and reproducible).

Anyway – show up! It should be fun.

Geoserver Rabbit Holes

TL/DR - Funding is Hard. Last week I ran down a rabbit hole. While I'm passable as a sysadmin - my skills are lacking in some areas. I had a conversation with someone on hardware and software and we ended on "How would you run this 911 stack of software if you had the...

QGIS and LIDAR

So this will be my last "New Class" announcement for a bit. Back in the spring of 2024, I taught a 4 hour QGIS and LIDAR class at the TNGIC meeting (State of TN GIS meeting). I ran through it and shelved it and now I'm fixing the problem spots and smoothing down the...
