QGIS: keep symbology for an intersection

Geographic Information Systems Asked on June 8, 2021

In QGIS, I am doing a shapefile intersection (Vector > Geoprocessing Tools > Intersect) to keep only the points in a point layer that overlap with the polygons in a polygon layer. What I’d like to do is have the option to save the original point layer symbology (which has been meticulously done and will be difficult to recreate) to the resulting intersected layer. However, the intersected layer always ends up with ‘default’ symbology. I’ve been searching around for the answer to this issue, but have not found it thus far.

Any pointer? I’m using QGIS 3.18 on a Windows 10 computer.

Open the source point shapefile's Layer Properties. In the lower-left corner click the Style dropdown (image below) and select Save Style.

Then from the intersected layer, Load Style, and select the saved style from above.

Voila!

Or right click on the meticulous layer and select Styles. You can copy and paste!
