feature to polygons of a large data, getting topoengine error

Question

Hi,

I have a big polyline dataset for which I want to create polygons. I have been trying to run the 'feature to polygon' tool but it keeps failing with a 'Topoengine error'. I have tried 'Check geometry' and 'Repair geometry' and the geometry looks okay. How can I successfully create the polygon from this line feature? Any advise?

Thanks,

Tilo

Yup... this could be a case of 'Godzilla' dataset (features with too many vertices). Check the following link.

try a smaller subset, it may be the number of features that you are trying to process
