QGIS: use geometry from different layer in symbology expression












2















I have a project with multiple layers.
The purple dots are from a pointfile with the symbology-expression:
z($geometry)> '14.5'. (so it only displays a purple dot when the Z-value is more than 14.5m).



I have a second layer with polygons, visible as the partly-transparent arc-area in red.



The next step i want to make in my project is to:
have the purple dots appear only if:
z($geometry)>'14.5' AND
the x-y of that spot is within the geographical extent of the polygon from the second layer



What step do i have to take to get this done.



example without last step

          Your question is very similar to what I've done here recently.



          I used expression:



          if(
          within($geometry,geometry(get_feature(layer,attribute,value))),
          result_when_true,
          result_when_false
          )


          In your case step 1: filter data table by



          z($geometry)> '14.5'


          step 2: paste expression in point symbology layer (see gif to find where)



          if(
          within($geometry,geometry(get_feature('your_polygon_layer_name','the_layers_field','feature_data'))),
          1,
          0
          )


          You can use the same expression for labels but must change 1 and 0 values to "label_field_name" and to null.



          That's it.
