Hi DUGR,

it seems there is some problem with the detection of the geometry type. There can be many reasons for this. I'll check on monday if I can reproduce the error.

Best regards,

Hi David,

I just tested the plugin to make sure there was no QGIS-update breaking it, but it worked smoothly producing a perfectly fine .obs file.

Are you perfectly sure your file only consists of Polygons or Multi-polygons? The -2147483645 is the answer to a wkbType() request, that is expected to return 3 (for Polygon-Type shapefiles) or 6 (for Multipolygon).

From what you wrote I unfortunately can't tell what went wrong. Maybe you could describe the file and what you did in more detail? Or could you provide me with the file so I can check?

Best regards,
Dominik

Hey all!

haha, well, that can work for this very file Regina, but?

wait a minute: You're perfectly sure the returned value is -2147483645?
That is exactly the same as for DUGR, so it might be systematic! I'll do some research on that and might come up with a new version, that also accepts -2147483645.

Do you know if your shape is of type Polygon, or Multipolygon?

Best,
Dominik

Ok, so in the Metadata in the Properties section, you get:

Geometrietyp der Objekte dieses Layers
Polygon (WKB type: "Polygon")

right?

Best,
Dominik

Got it!

Your Polygons are of Type Polygon25D (2.5 dimensional polygons). This does not make a lot of difference to the shp_to_obs tool, so i will add QGis.WKBPolygon25D (-2147483645) to the valid geometries.

Thanks for reporting!

Best,
Dominik

Hey Regina,

this might be due to different versions of QGis. No problem. I checked the possible WKB types and added both Polygon25D, as well as MultiPolygon25D.
A new version of the plugin was uploaded. However, it might take some time for the repo admins to approve it before it will become visible.

Thanks again!

Best,
Dominik
