Description

Calculates the geometric intersection of the overlaid polygon layers, i.e. layer A and layer B.

You can enhance the performance for intersect operations sometimes drastically when you turn on the pre-processing option 'Clip' for layers with complex polygons covering large areas distinct to the other layer.
