I have tried to add buildings from WFS layer. https://kartat.espoo.fi/teklaogcweb/wfs.ashx (building layer is GIS:Rakennukset)

Geometry never shows up. However, map extent and data in attribute tables seems to be correct. Also, QGIS doesn't give any error message.

I have been so far able to track down that WFS layer contains different geometry types which seems to be problem for QGIS. I tried to save as GML and then select only polygons, but geometry still doesn't exist (extent and attributes are still fine).

Any tricks/tips?

  • What QGIS version are you using? The buildings in the layer you specified work fine for me and are displayed with the default settings.

  • I use QGIS3 (3.0.0) and tried 2.18.14 too. OS X 10.12.6

  • I also tried to edit geometry. I'm not sure whether visible elements are corners or center points but they disappear when I try to move them. No polygons are shown.

  • Then the only problem I can think of is a projection issue. Try loading the layer in a new QGIS session (Vector->Add Layer ->Add WFS Layer from Server), and leaving the default settings for the WFS, with the CRS being 4326 (even though not ideal for this purpose).

version 2.14 support is ok. Version 2.18 requires following service URL: https://kartat.espoo.fi/teklaogcweb/wfs.ashx?OUTPUTFORMAT=GML2

Data format have been recently modified to single geometrytype. Older multigeometrytype have been a problem for QGis.

  • This worked! Thanks! I wasn't aware of this change between versions.
