[Qgis-user] Convert Lines to Polygons

[Richard McDonnell]

Randal,
Thanks for getting back, tries it, but wont work. I might take another 
approach though, Split them up by attributes polygonize them and then 
merge them again into one...looks like its my only option at the moment!
Regards,

Richard.
