The single elements to polyline function converts connected elements into a polyline. These elements can be closed or open.

To convert elements to polyline:

  • Select ‘Single Elements to Polyline’ from the ‘Change’ ribbon.
  • Select the start element of the polyline, which means clicking on any part of the object to convert it to a polyline.
  • The function will continue to search for connected elements at either end of the start element to form a polyline.
  • You can also select the elements you want to convert into a polyline first, then click the “Single elements to polyline” button.
  • This will convert only selected elements to a polyline.
  • Your polyline will be created. If you wish, you can set the tool to change the color of the polyline upon creation in ‘General Preferences’
    General Preferences with Single Elements to Polyline highlighted
  • As the tool runs in a loop, you can now select additional single elements to be converted to polyline. When completed, press ‘Confirm’ or ‘Cancel’ to end the function.
