[GRASS-user] [hole in vector layer import]

When I import ESRI shapefile into Grass gis with steps [file - import vector - common import format], some of parcels from layer will be missing. Thus the shapefile will have hole in between once imported in Grass GIS. Did I do something wrong?

Check the output of the import process. Probably the shapefile has topological errors (overlaps, non-closes polygons, etc) and this can lead to some polygons not being complete areas after import.

You might have to set the snap parameter during import (the module probably provides a message about a possible value for this parameter).
