The transformations menu is also available via the Felt menu in top-left corner and via feature menu using the
Command/Control + K
shortcut (simply type Transform or the name of any specific transformation, like Buffer).Available Transformations
Processing large layers will take a long time. Consider clipping large layers to your area of interest before running other operations.
If you don’t have a layer to clip to, you can create an area of interest as an element by using the circle or polygon tools and then applying the Convert to layer action on it.
The following transformations are currently available:
