Hi!

I've got a bunch of lines that I fused together. How do I convert it to polygon so I can extrude it after?

Salut Olivier,

You first need to find a way to close one side with a curve (the red curve in this example), maybe you will need a bit of vex, like starting from the first valence 1 point, and find the closest next valence 1 point, and build a polyline with those two points. But maybe you can find an easier way to isolate this 2 points, I don`t know the setup.

After that, fuse everything, polypath to create a single ordered curve, and the end sop to close it as polygon.

The picture is not good because it is hard to see, that the polygon is already closed.
