linecloser is a final straw If i combine lines why would the vertices flip direction in the middle

This should not be that hard. Can you share your input lines?

Hi @Brad Nesom​ ,

Have you tried using a TopologyBuilder and an AreaBuilder? This will show you all of the intersecting points and break the line into line segments (edges) that can be converted to areas with the AreaBuilder. If the line feature(s) do not overlap, you can adjust the tolerance parameter or use something like a Snapper or LineExtender to ensure the original ​line features intersect one another.

Here's the workspace in case it helps. This is a "best case scenario" as all of the lines intersect and the data that was created and collapsed in the bookmark is very simple. Let us know if that solves it!

I have not used topology builder but have used Intersector, PolylineAnalyzer, LineOnLineOverlayer. I have use snapper, anchoredsnapper, and LineExtender.

IT shouldn't be this hard. ultimately i want a point for each corner of each labor with value for containing twn, and sec.

This is using your sample fmw. with topologybuilder.

Hi @Brad Nesom​ ,

Just to help isolate the question, I've removed all other transformers other than what is relevant to this question in the attached workspace. Is this what you are expected as the output? I used the TopologyBuilder > AreaBuilder method right after the GeometryFilter_2 (which I believe is the correct area of your workspace, my apologies if that is not the correct spot). Please note the tolerance parameter in the TopologyBuilder > Advanced is set to automatic so this resolves the issue with the line not overlapping:

This output is much cleaner than what i was getting. however. (since i spent lots of time in the dwg making sure that all of the lines were extended to the edges, that there were no extra vertices (just 2 for every line) and that there were no extra colinear objects. (I don't want to, can't spend this effort on all the dwgs i am scanning)

1. Why are there incomplete features?
2. Why does it create 0 area features (your example above should be exactly 100 features there are slivers that i have to calc area and filter by size) [see attached examples for each of the features coming through
