A boundary runs through the buffer shown. I am attempting to extract all points within the buffer on either side of the boundary, distinguishing which side of the boundary the points are on.
Is there an easy way to do this using QGIS?
I have 27 buffers in total and over 3000 points fall within these buffers so 'extracting by location' and then sorting visually is not feasible.
If that example is using AcrMap, you can use the Select by Lasso tool which would capture the desired points.
You could also select the boundary of interest set up a Definition Query. This will only display the boundary polygon of interest. From there, you can use the Select by Location to grab the points within the buffer.
If there are additional points within the boundary but outside of that buffer (extra undesired points are selected), you can go a step deeper with the Select by Location (when the points are selected). Change the Selection Method and the source to the buffer polygon layer so the only points to remain selected will fall within the buffer and the boundary.
