I need all of my shapefiles to use a projection that measures in meters before I convert them to raster, but wanted to choose a projection that will not cause compatibility issues in the future when imported to other apps. I chose to convert to EPSG:4328 because it had almost the same name as my current CRS, but when using the Reproject Layer tool, everything disappears. I don't fully understand how the CRS system works, can someone explain why this happens and what I should be doing to avoid it.

The original shapefile had a CRS of EPSG:6668 - JGD2011 which I then reprojected to EPSG:4326 - WGS84 using the reproject layer tool. Could it have something to do with that?

  • If you are displaying the 2 sets on the same view, can you try to change the project CRS to EPSG:4326 ?

  • EPSG:4328 is EPSG:4326 rotated, Z becomes east, Y stays the same and X is up/down. Try using a suitable UTM projected coordinate system, probably WGS84/UTM zone 54 North EPSG:32654 which covers the majority of the land area.
