Hello,

I have a shp layer of lines for which I need to calculate the length of each line then round it to suppress the decimals.

 

I use the lenghtcalculator to get the lenght of each line but for some lines I get results such as 7.566995918750763e-10 or 1.7276990785794134e-9

With these results, I get 0 after the attributerounder. I even tried a stringformatter to reduce the amount of decimals but theses objets also turn into 0.

Is there a way to avoid getting so much precision when calculating the lenght ? Or another way to calculate the lenght (I get the same result with an attribute creator and length() ) ?

 

Many thanks in adance!

Ann

7.566995918750763e-10 (scientific notation) is the same as 0.0000000007566995918750763, so unless you round down to more than 9 decimals the result is actually going to be 0.

I'm guessing these are extremely short line segments?

What distance units are you working in, 7.566995918750763e-10 is a very small number which is why it rounds to zero

Thank you very much. I understand better what it means, it is logical that it rounds to 0. Indeed these are extremely short lines. Thanks!
