How to Sextante model builder within QGIS to convert KML to shapefile? Hello Willy - the kml to shp is just part of larger list of instructions that I would like my model to do, such as (1) convert data format, (2) re-project, (3) change polygons to polylines, etc. This is a repetitive task that needs to be automated and a Sextante model would do the job. Thanks anyway for looking.
