[Qgis-user] Convert Lines to Polygons

[Randal Hale]

First thought - take a look at the processing toolbox. Open it and 
search for Lines to Polygons and try that tool. It should convert your 
lines to polygons. The kicker is I don't *think* that will preserve 
attributes. So - you're halfway there *maybe*.
