1 metre contours common errors

No features within the area of interest and were not exported

There are many areas where there are no 1 metre or 5 metre contours available. The email you receive will say "The following Datasets had no features within the area of interest and were not exported"Contours 1 metre

Feature count has exceeded the maximum feature count limit

This message following means you have tried to download too large an area. "The following Datasets were not extracted because the feature count has exceeded the maximum feature count limit"Read the following.

When selecting 1 metre contours select a small area.

With regard to your data order placed with the QSpatial data delivery service yesterday our log shows that the order has failed because it exceeded the feature count, the dataset cannot be downloaded as a whole it is too large.. The following describes how to order smaller portions of the data using the extraction by area of interest method. The datasets for the 1 and 5 metre contours have many areas where the respective contours do not exist.

For the download of 1 and 5 metre contours the LGA area which is full of 1 metre contours will be to large. Try the locality / suburb option in the second tab.

...

If that fails because of exceeding the feature count you will have to use the third option and select using the custom shape from the map. Select an area over the properties you are interested in. Select a small area and gradually work up in coverage.

...

The solution is to select a smaller area.

The largest area that can be selected is by Local Government Area this should be ok for the 10 metre contours but this can fail if the LGA area has a large number of contours but usually will fail for the 1 and 5 metre contours. If when ordering by Local Government Area the order fails because it exceeded the feature count, order again using the next tab for City/ Suburb. If it still fails go to the third tab and use the custom shape selection but only select the area of interest which must be small. Follow instructions below.
