I very appreciate your decision to make enhancements and am very exciting to see it and use it as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking the initiative to share your data with us. Your input aids in identifying areas for enhancement.
The Convert to Polygon command has a specific requirement for closed geometries, which means it operates with linestrings or polygons that are closed.
Your parcel is composed of multiple line strings, including both CAD line strings and COGO line strings. The command currently functions only with closed geometries, such as a single linestring or a closed polygon. The fact that your data consists of different types of line strings connected at specific points doesn't satisfy the criteria for a single closed geometry.
In the upcoming release of the command we will bring improvements to work with a broader range of data types, and closed geometries won't be a strict requirement anymore. This enhancement will provide greater flexibility and will accommodate scenarios similar to yours.
In the meantime, as a workaround, you can create a single closed geometry using tools like the Track Region command and use the command to convert the closed polyline to polygon.

Hi Ramin,
thanks for your info. However - I have such feeling that we are rotating in a circle.
As I described above and as I understand the term CLOSED line(s), I thing I have closed shape of the parcel
(although it consists of two different line strings - CAD and COGO).
If not, then I need EXACT definition what means the CLOSED lines.
Attached is ZIP data file - it would be great, when you could have a look into the data
and inform me what´s wrong with my approach.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Martin,
As Ronny has pointed out, the key aspect here is ensuring that the lines you're trying to convert are already closed.
This command is primarily designed for earthwork export, enabling accurate visualization of areas on the machine. We'd be interested in examining your data to determine if there's a potential solution that could be integrated into future releases. If you're open to it, please share a sample of your data with us? Feel free to send it to tbc_support@upgsolutions.com.
Cheers,

Hello,
I have a parcel (in violet color) created partially from line strings (4 line strings) and partially from COGO line string (1 COGO line string) - see the picture below:

I wanted to transform them to a polygon/polyline using ANZ ToolBox command Convert To Polygon, so I selected them all:

However, when I ran the command by clicking Apply, no polyline was created:

What´s the problem? Why no polyline was created?
Does it not work, when selected line strings created by different methods (CAD line string + COGO line string)?
Thanks in advance for any reaction.
