Polygons define closed 2D areas used to constrain maps, restrict volume calculations or delimit project extent. g-Space imports polygons from text files and stores them under Polygons in the Data manager.

How to import

1. Open Data manager.
2. Right-click the Polygons icon.
3. Point to Import and choose Import polygons from CPS-3 line file, then select the source file.
4. Confirm the coordinate reference system in the preview and press OK. The imported polygons appear as children of the Polygons node.

Supported formats

• CPS-3 line (.cps3) — text-based line format; the same reader is used for CPS-3 map imports. Right-click Polygons, point to Import and choose Import polygons from CPS-3 line file.
• GOCAD PLine (.pl) — polylines / polygons from GOCAD. Right-click Polygons, point to Import and choose Import polygons from GOCAD PLine file.
• DXF (.dxf) — AutoCAD polygons and geobodies. See Import DXF.

For a description of the supported file layout, see GIS Data Formats, GOCAD Data Formats and Model Data Formats.
