Thank you for your response. I have attempted to use the "Join by Location" function. Perhaps I am using it incorrectly. If I attempt to merge the properties of the polygon onto the point data, the operation never completes and QGIS simply hangs. Joining from the point data onto the polygon data works, but I am not able to retain the information from each point in the newly merged data.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts on this process. -Jon On Tue, Jul 2, 2013 at 2:27 AM, Albin Blaschka < [email protected]> wrote: > > El 01-07-2013, a las 14:21, Jonathan Lefman <[email protected]> >> escribió: >> >> Hi, >> >> I need help finding the correct plugin or built-in function. >> > > I have a points layer and a polygons layer.
