Exercise – 10 / How to export ShapeFiles to KML & Import KML to ShapeFile in QGIS

Export / Import KML files in QGIS.


QGIS supports a wide range of file types including KML (Keyhole Markup Language). You can then open this KML file on other software such as Google Earth.


Export Shape file as KML

  • Add Vector Layer to Layers panel to export to KML and choose symbology for the added layer

Figure 200 Shapefile before exporting to KML

  • Right-click the layer and select Export → Save Feature As
  • Select Keyhole Markup Language (KML) from the format list
  • Specify the file name and location
  • Optionally, you can also specify the layer name also
  • Select the CRS (Ex: EPSG 4326 – WGS84)
  • Select other options as per the requirement
  • Click OK

  • KML layer will be created and added to Layer panel. 
  • Now open Google Earth and go to File → Open and browse to the KML file.

Import KML as Shapefile


QGIS supports direct openof KML (Keyhole Markup Language). You can then export to shapefile.

  • Add KML file to Layers panel to export to shapefile

  • Right-click the layer and select Export → Save Feature As
  • Select ESRI Shapefile from the format list
  • Specify the file name and location
  • Select the CRS (Ex: EPSG 4326 – WGS84)
  • Select other options as per the requirement
  • Click OK

How to Rename attribute fields in QGIS & How to Rearrange attribute fields in QGIS | తెలుగులో నేర్చుకుందాం

How to Rename attribute fields &  Rearrange attribute fields in QGIS Refactor fields Refactor fields, allows editing the structure of the attribute table of a vector layer. Fields can be modified in their type and name, using a field’s mapping. The original layer is not modified. A new layer is generated, which contains a modified attribute table, according to the provided fields mapping. Refactor layer fields allows to: Change field names and types Add and remove fields Reorder fields Calculate new fields based on expressions Load field list from another layer Add Vector Layer to Layers panel to Drop field(s) Choose Processing → Toolbox → Vector table → Refactor fields Figure 178 - Vector layer with attribute table before Refactor fields Select Input Layer (Ex: Ind_adm1) Select fields to be renamed and reorder (Ex: in the below given example Name_0 has to rename as Name with Length from 75 as 100 and change order of Name_1 under Name_0 [Name after rename] ) Figure 179 - Fi...

What is Survey Of India (SOI) Framework?

What is Survey Of India (SOI) Framework? The Survey of India (SoI) framework is a geospatial reference system used in India for mapping, surveying, and geodetic purposes. The framework is maintained by the Survey of India, which is the national mapping organization of India and the oldest scientific department of the Government of India. The SoI framework is based on the Indian Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) and the Indian National Spatial Reference System (IN-SRS), and is used to determine the location and height of points on the Earth's surface with high accuracy. The framework is also used to define the horizontal and vertical reference systems for mapping and surveying purposes in India. The SoI framework provides a consistent and accurate basis for various geospatial applications, such as land management, urban planning, navigation, disaster management, and environmental monitoring. The framework is also used for the production of topographic maps, cadastral maps, and othe...

Exercise – 12 / How to Create GRID in QGIS తెలుగులో నేర్చుకుందాం

Exercise – 12 /  How to Create GRID in QGIS Create Grid Generate a line or polygon grid based on user-specified grid spacing. Add Polygon/Line/Point Layer to Layers panel for creating GRID Figure 150 - QGIS canvas with polygon layer added for creation of GRID Choose Vector →Research tools →Create Grid Select Grid Type (Point / Line / Rectangle / Diamond / Hexagon) Select Grid extent (Use canvas extent / select extent on canvas / use layer extent) Suggestedto select use layer extent and select the layer and click on OK . Provide Horizontal spacing in meters / kilometers / feet / miles / yards Provide Vertical spacing in meters / kilometers / feet / miles / yards Provide Horizontal overlay in meters / kilometers / feet / miles / yards (if required only, or else leave as 0) Provide Vertical overlay in meters / kilometers / feet / miles / yards (if required only, or else leave as 0) Select Grid CRS Click on Run Temporary layer will be created and added to Layer panel with Grid ...
