Parcel Fabric - Reconstruct from seeds vs Build Extent

Hi, I want to ask about the differences between "Reconstruct From Seeds" and "Build Extent."

I know that "Reconstruct From Seeds" can be used to rebuild a polygon from Shrink to Seeds, but I believe you can do something similar with "Build Extent."

What exactly is the difference between these two tools?

Hi @VassilisTrigkas1974

After shrinking parcels to seeds one or more of the lines bounding a seed may not belong to the same record as that seed. In these circumstances the regular Build functions will not re-build those seeds. The Reconstruct From Seeds command is used for these cases, and will create the parcel polygon even when there is a loop of lines that come from different records.
