Editing the output of feature to polygon

Question

Hello guy!

I'm having a trouble in editing the output of feature to polygon tool.Because my input feature was a closed line and most of the line has intersection so the output generated has a lot of new small polygon created during the process.This makes my work more complicated in the next step of joining the the attribute because the data comes with a repetition of information.

My question is there a tool to clean those small polygon generated either by removing or merging them to original ones.Or a different way which i can use to create a polygon from the line feature without having that problem.

Thanks...!

Kelvin.

If you have an original set (a set that generally covers the areas) you could use a spatial join then a dissolve

You can use the dissolve tool with no attributes selected to dissolve you polygons based on contiguity. ArcGIS Help 10.1

Another option is using the Minimum Bounding Geometry Tool - Convex Hull.  ArcGIS Help 10.1
