h2. 1.	Creation of Initial Linework in QGIS using Survey points import - (Ram, System 4)
71 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
72 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
Initial Linework in QGIS is started by surveyor with the knowledge from the Field. For this step, points are simply imported into the QGIS from the field text file (.csv or .txt). CRS needs to be TM-AUSPOS. The box of “First record has field names” shall not be ticked. In Point Coordinates, select the correct field for x, for y and for z (usually “field_2” for x, “field_3” for y and “field_4” for z). Points can be styled using the “Categorized” style in “Symbology”, using “Field_5” as value, or using a Rule-based symbology using the category (field 5) as filter.
73 74 Selvarani C
Linework is created by connecting points having same description and belonging to the same physical feature. *All line and polygon features are created as lines*.
74 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
The Initial Linework for the Survey Area is also stored temporarily in 
75 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
76 74 Selvarani C
+D: > AVSM > Zone-Survey number (eg RZ-01) > Survey Area (eg J) > Temporary WD+
77 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
78 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
h2. Note: The line shapefiles / Geopackages shall be in CRS: TM AUSPOS

h2. 2.	Creation of final working drawing Shapefiles / Geopackages - (Selvarani, System 1)
81 1 Philippe May
82 1 Philippe May
Final working drawing Shapefiles / Geopackages are created from the Initial Linework of Survey Area.
83 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
As the Surveyor draws all features as lines (both for lines and polygons features), the following actions shall be done:
84 74 Selvarani C
1.	*If features are lines:*
85 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
•	Export the shapefile / geopackage into the final working drawing folder (Final WD), in separate folders according to its type (e.g. BLDG, FENC, ROAD, etc).
86 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
87 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
h2. The CRS for the export shall be EPSG:4326 - WGS 84
88 70 Giulio Di Anastasio
89 74 Selvarani C
2.	*If features are polygons:*
90 1 Philippe May
•	Lines shall be converted into polygons:
91 74 Selvarani C
92 1 Philippe May
to do it, first click on the layer to be converted to make it active (e.g. WD-CZ-01-F-LL84_V-BLDG-MHOL------E), then go to “Vector” Menu, click on Geometry Tools, click on Line to Polygons:

•	Always cross check the input layer, to make sure that the input layer is the active one
103 71 Giulio Di Anastasio
•	Save the output in a temporary layer
104 74 Selvarani C
•	The temporary layer will be listed in the list of layers, it shall be exported to the saving location as +D: > Survey > Zone-Survey Number > Final WD > Survey Area SHP+ (eg . D: > Survey > GB-01 > Final WD > A-Shp)
105 72 Giulio Di Anastasio
106 74 Selvarani C
h2. The CRS for the export shall be EPSG:4326 - WGS 84
107 74 Selvarani C
108 72 Giulio Di Anastasio
Once all the shapefiles / geopackages are exported in Final WD, for each of the newly exported layers the Topology Checker Tool shall be used.

h2. 1.	Merging Shapefiles / Geopackages - (Selvarani, System 1)
113 74 Selvarani C
114 72 Giulio Di Anastasio
A copy of the Zone Master shapefiles / geopackages are taken from System 4 and stored in Temp Folder on Desktop in System 1.
115 1 Philippe May
Master shapefiles / geopackages are merged with the Survey Area shapefiles / geopackages:
116 72 Giulio Di Anastasio
•	To do it, go to “Vector” Menu, click on Geoprocessing Tools, then click on Union:
117 72 Giulio Di Anastasio

125 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
126 74 Selvarani C
•	To make sure that the right geometry is generated by this process (“line” type, not “Multiline”, and similarly “Polygon” type, not “Multipolygon), we need to always keep the *Master shapefile* (e.g. Final-CZ-01-2021-02-05-LL84_V-BLDG-MHOL------E) *as Input layer*, and the Survey Area shapefile as Overlay Layer (e.g. WD-CZ-01-F-LL84_V-BLDG-MHOL------E).
127 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
•	(The output can be saved to a file, as the CRS should already be EPSG4326 – WGS84.)
128 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
129 74 Selvarani C
h2. 2.	Storing Shapefiles / Geopackages - (Selvarani, System 1)
130 74 Selvarani C
131 74 Selvarani C
Save the merged shape file in the correct location in Final folder as +D: > Survey > Zone-Survey Number > Final+ (eg . D: > Survey > GB-01 > Final)
132 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
Date in the name of Final Shapefile / Geopackage needs to be updated.
133 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
Once the merging operation is completed, the copy of Master shapefile / geopackage is deleted from the Temp folder.
134 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
135 74 Selvarani C
h2. 3.	Topology check of merged shapefiles
136 74 Selvarani C
137 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
The topology checker is applied again on the merged shapefiles / geopackages.
138 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
The “id_field” shall be removed from the attribute table.
139 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
140 74 Selvarani C
h2. 4.	Archive and replace the Master Shapefiles / Geopackages (Ram, System 4)
141 74 Selvarani C
142 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
Archive the previous master shapefiles / geopackages on system 4, and copy the new merged shapefiles / geopackages in its place.
143 74 Selvarani C
*Then delete the Merged Shapefile / Geopackage folder from System 1.
144 74 Selvarani C

h2. 5.	Note about Shapefiles and Geopackages
147 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
148 73 Giulio Di Anastasio
All the above works are usually done using shapefile format, in QGIS latest version (3.16.3).
149 221 Selvarani C
The Geopackage export is done in QGis versions older than 3.12 (e.g. 3.4, 3.6, 3.8, 3.10) so that the lines are not saved as “Multilines” but as “Lines”and polygons are not saved as “Multipolygons” but as “Polygons”. This is very important to be noted, as Gisaf database does not accept the Multipolygon and Multiline geometry types.
150 221 Selvarani C
A different way to create "Polygons" is to use the command Vector -> Geometry Tools -> Multipart to Single Parts and apply it to the layer: from "Multipolygon" it will become "Polygon" (check in layer Properties).
151 222 Selvarani C
As on 13 March 2021, Gisaf can accept Multipolygon layers, because the command "Multipart to Single parts" has been integrated into the importing command (see Redmine ticket #11691)
152 223 Selvarani C
153 223 Selvarani C
h1. Creating 3D Shapefile/Geopackage
154 223 Selvarani C
155 223 Selvarani C
While creating a Shapefile/Geopackage, the File name/Database-table name, Geometry type and CRS have to be entered.
156 223 Selvarani C
In order to create a 3D Shapefile/Geopackage, the additional dimensions *"Z(+M values)"/ "Include Z dimension"* has to be ticked: this way the 3D Shapefile/Geopackage is accepted by Gisaf without errors, otherwise the Shapefile/Geopackage can't be imported in Gisaf because the Z dimension is missing (the geometries in the database are all 3D).
