I am using QGIS and I have a set of 20 layers with buffers. I'm interested in where they overlap most and I want to create a single layer that shows which are the places where they overlap most and how much. Somehow I already achieved the visual result changing the color and the transparency of the layers but I want just one layer that tells me how many layers are overlapping on a specific area.
Is it possible?
Ok looking for help in finishing this answer as i think it is almost there.
if you have two layers and want to find out what portion of the buffers lie within the other then i would simply use the "clip" function to clip layer 2 to what is within layer one.
See the image.
To do this on a larger level i am imagining you would have needed to create your buffers with the "disolve buffer results" checked.
After this i am stumped...as in how to apply across 20 od layers at once.
