    Very nice, would the virtual layer update after every addition/edit to the main layer? Commented Oct 20, 2021 at 6:52

    The updating of the map seems a little bit inconsistent. Sometimes I have to pan the map for the virtual layer to update. But you can set the layer to automaticallly update every n seconds under layer properties. Commented Oct 20, 2021 at 7:21
  • I like this solution for a few reasons, but I wasn't able to get the geometry pulled into the virtual layer. No idea what I'm doing wrong there, but this does look like the easiest way to build a data subset for quick reference. Commented Oct 20, 2021 at 22:14
