How do you find overlapping layers in QGIS?

From the Processing menu choose > Toolbox > and open the Vector Table section. Choose the Overlay Analysis menu option. The Overlay Analysis tool will open.
 

How do you stop overlap in QGIS?

Navigate to the menu entry Project ► Snapping Options…. Make sure that the box in the Avoid overlap column is checked. Leave the dialog. Check (under View ► Toolbars) that the Advanced Digitizing toolbar is enabled.

How do you fix overlapping polygons?

Removing overlaps from existing polygons

  1. Select the polygon feature whose border you want to maintain. The other polygon will be clipped back to match it.
  2. Click the Editor menu and click Clip.

  4. Click OK.

Quote from video: So we subtract away the overlapping region one time now finding the areas of the two rectangles is easy the area of each rectangle is the difference in its x-coordinates.

How do you find overlapping area?

For each rectangle, fill one of these matrices with ones where the rectangle takes up space. Then sum the matrices. Now sum(A+B > 0) is the area of the union, and sum(A+B > 1) is the area of the overlap. This example can easily generalize to multiple rectangles.
