How to make a contour/outline of grid net polygon? Just need a thick boundary of the grid net to make the result more "beautiful".
I tried to do it somehow in symbology, but unsuccessfully.

Did you read QGIS 3.4 Documentation | 3.2. Lesson: Symbology or QGIS 2.8 Documentation | 3.2. Lesson: Symbology carefully? – Taras Mar 25 '19 at 06:36

Thanks for reply! Yes, I did, but I'm probably too stupid. I have hex grid net with graduated symbology. I have absolutely no idea, how to draw the outline boundary. – Slunicko Mar 25 '19 at 07:40

There is nothing to do to with "stupid". Can you show us how do your polygons look like, please? Can you attach a print screen etc.? – Taras Mar 25 '19 at 07:49

Sure, here is small sample. – Slunicko Mar 25 '19 at 07:53

In case if you want each cell to be "Beautiful"
Right click on your polygon shapefile and then
Properties -> Style -> Outline / Outline widthFill: transparent and then apply customization for your polygon outline parameters.
If you want only the general contour of your cells to be "Beautiful", i.e. your cells have to have a common outline on the edge. Then follow the next procedure
Vector -> Geoprocessing Tools -> Dissolve -> Dissolve all (do not use fields)and then apply exactly the same actions as in Step 1.

Thanks! But still there is something wrong... as you can see in the sample, there is not just a general outline, but some strange outlines inside the polygon. – Slunicko Mar 25 '19 at 08:30

Interesting, when I applied "Dissolve" again, the result was "nothing"... If I zoomed to layer, it was empty. – Slunicko Mar 25 '19 at 08:49
