This seems to imply that we have to create point, line and polygon shapefiles from the same input file. I think this is a bit beyond the initial scope of the plugin and will need some rethinking. Anyway I'll try to work on it when I have some spare time.

Hello Goyo, I see I made a bad choice of sample file. The Z is the same in polygons because they represent small buildings. To create them the corners of the roofs were measured in the stereomodel resulting in the same z values. Of course a lot of objects have a common Z like lakes and shorelines and many others. The more general case is that Z i varying from ponint to point in the polygon or line. Think of polygons representing landuse or cadstral divisons or lines representing streams or roads. In this simple file structure a line looks like this: STOLP 1868536.305 7323297.568 5.206 21 STOLP 1868514.063 7323234.352 2.558 22 STOLP 1868445.482 7323050.904 3.220 22 STOLP 1868514.063 7323234.352 2.558 23 The polygon differs rom the line in that the points with pencode 21 &v 23 have the same coordinates indicating the closure. Point have the pencode 11 indicating no connection: AHP,1868280.000,7323450.000,0.271,11 AHP,1868300.000,7323450.000,1.324,11 AHP,1868320.000,7323450.000,0.542,11 I tried to get those files into Qgis but with no complete succes. There is one plug in redings csv files ok but i does not take care of the topology and only reads X & Y.

Hi, Using an attribute is agood idea.

[Qgis-user] Creating polygon from points in csv file
Hi Goyo, I would like to test your file but I can't not extract the file from the tar.bin, could you resend it using a more common format ? Your modification is great as it would solve a major pain I've been dealing with my tacheometer's output, it is a basic ascii file where every record is a point to which you can append a codification. For now we've to connect the point by hand, automating this task would be a relief (and a lot less error prone). Would it be easier to make a correct geometry by assigning a code to the point telling if it's the opening or the closure ? Or just following the incrementing point number would be enough to get a correct geometry ?

Be careful with the order of the points, otherwise you might get funny results. eg |1 2| is fine , but |4 3| |1 2| will intersect with itself, making two triangles! |3 4| Ves Nikos ___ Qgis-user mailing list Qgis-user@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-user
[Qgis-user] Creating polygon from points in csv file
Hello all, I have a list of points in sequence that define a polygon. This is taken from a legal document defining a piece of land. So far I have been able to import this into Qgis as points. How do I import it as a polygon (or convert the points to a polygon? I have tried to use GRASS, importing it as an ASCII file, but I guess I never got the ASCII polygon format down. I'm sure there must be an asy way.
