  4. RIGHT click on the layer in the Table of Contents and select Query to select features in the layer.

Does QGIS have a built in topological editing feature?

Enable topological editing is for editing and maintaining common boundaries in features mosaics. QGIS ‘detects’ shared boundary by the features, so you only have to move a common vertex/segment once, and QGIS will take care of updating the neighboring features.

How do you edit multiple layers at once?

Quote from video: Hold down your command or ctrl key command on the Mac ctrl on Windows. And click on the other type layers that you want to edit.

How do you apply a layer adjustment to a group of layers?

1 Correct answer. Put your layers in a folder, and change the folders blending mode from pass through to normal. You can then put an adjustment layer on the top of the layers in the folder, and it will only affect what is in the folder.

Can you resize multiple layers at the same time?

Resizing Multiple Layers at One Time



Hold the Shift key (to constrain proportions), then grab any of the bounding box handles and drag. As you drag, all of the linked layers will resize at the same time.

How do I apply an adjustment layer to all layers?

Make sure you’re viewing the Properties panel, or choose Window > Properties. With the adjustment layer selected in the Layers panel, click the Create Clipping Mask icon at the bottom of the Properties panel to apply the adjustment to just the layer below it.
