How to split lines on vertex in QGIS?
I’ve searched a lot but didn’t find an answer: When editing lines with QGIS, I often need to split a linestring exactly on one of his existing internal vertices, but I can’t find a way. I’ve tried the tool “Split Features” thinking that it could snap on vertices, but I was wrong, and I’ve tried several ways of selecting the vertex with no luck…
How to clip polygons with another polygon in QGIS?
To not have overlapping polygons/features, I normally use one or more polygons to clip/shape other polygons. This is often much faster than tracing when adding polygons etc. I cannot find this functionality in QGIS. The highlighted polygon is overlapped by the adjacent (west/left) polygon with the straight edge.
How many features are there in split features Tool?
If you then create a ‘cut line’ in the middle. I would think that the result would be 2 (two) lines. But if you open the attribute table, it will show you 15 features.

If you aren’t within the snapping tolerance, QGIS will leave the vertex where you release the mouse button, instead of snapping it to an existing vertex and/or segment. The snapping tolerance setting affects all tools that work with tolerance.
What happens if somebody edits the same feature in QGIS?
This version of QGIS does not track if somebody else is editing the same feature at the same time as you are. The last person to save its edits wins. For an optimal and accurate edit of the vector layer geometries, we need to set an appropriate value of snapping tolerance and search radius for features vertices.
What is snapping tolerance and search radius in QGIS?
For an optimal and accurate edit of the vector layer geometries, we need to set an appropriate value of snapping tolerance and search radius for features vertices. Snapping tolerance is the distance QGIS uses to search for the closest vertex and/or segment you are trying to connect to when you set a new vertex or move an existing vertex.
Is there a way to split lines with points?
