QGIS: use geometry from different layer in symbology expression
Copying Symbology between layers with different numbers of featuresWhere are the Expression-based Labeling options in QGIS?How to Display Overlapping Lines?QGIS expression: select from <layer> possible?Applying symbology to a layer with python, How to only have symbology in TOC that the sub layer hasCreating symbology for polygon layer which has opaque outlines but transparent colored fills using ArcGIS for Desktop?Arcpy ApplySymbologyFromLayer color problems with extentIs there a way to assign a feature from the majority of points to a polygon with *join attribute by location* QGIS 2.18Polygon layer symbology not displaying correctly in QGIS 3Create multipoint layer from array by expression
I have a project with multiple layers.
The purple dots are from a pointfile with the symbology-expression:
z($geometry)> '14.5'. (so it only displays a purple dot when the Z-value is more than 14.5m).
I have a second layer with polygons, visible as the partly-transparent arc-area in red.
The next step i want to make in my project is to:
have the purple dots appear only if:
z($geometry)>'14.5' AND
the x-y of that spot is within the geographical extent of the polygon from the second layer
What step do i have to take to get this done.

Your question is very similar to what I've done here recently.
I used expression:
if(
within($geometry,geometry(get_feature(layer,attribute,value))),
result_when_true,
result_when_false
)
In your case step 1: filter data table by
z($geometry)> '14.5'
step 2: paste expression in point symbology layer (see gif to find where)
if(
within($geometry,geometry(get_feature('your_polygon_layer_name','the_layers_field','feature_data'))),
1,
0
)
You can use the same expression for labels but must change 1 and 0 values to "label_field_name" and to null.
That's it.

Good answer! Would it work to drop the if-part completely and just usewithin(...)?
