In QGIS 2.6.1, I have merged two polygon shapefiles. After the merge I am facing a problem at boundaries.
So I thought of changing Polygon -> lines, manually deleting one of the lines at the boundary, and finally change line -> Polygon.
The problem is I am not able select a line between two nodes to delete; the entire polygon is getting selected when I try to select. Is there any better approach to do this?
You can use the Node Tool to edit your line layer:
When you toggle the tool, click on a vertex or the line and click the Delete button on your keyboard (I clicked on the line which is highlighted with the blue vertices). Remember that a line is between 2 vertices so technically, you would be deleting 2 lines:
To avoid this, you can modify the vertices so that another line is created. Double-click the vertice where you want to create another line and drag the cursor:
Then again, select the line you want removed and hit Delete.
Hope this helps!
