I am working in QGIS I have two overlapping polygon layers:

  1. A species distribution polygon named species_dist
  2. A bathymetry polygon named depth

The bathymetry polygon attribute table has a depth field with values from 1 to 19.

I want to clip species_dist to only keep the area that overlaps with depth values 1 to 3 of depth.

What is the easiest way to do this?

Select by attribute or select by expression everything on the bathymetry layer with the desired values, then clip the species with this selection.

  • Thanks Erik, that has solved my problem. I am running into issues to filter by attribute however. I can only filter by running the following filter command: "depth" = 1 OR "depth" = 2 OR "depth" =3 and if i try "depth" = 1 OR 2 OR 3 it does not work. but that is another issue i guess.

  • @ninafb depth IN ('1','2','3') should work.
