Hi again,
New question. I downloaded the USGS seamless maps for lakes and ponds and can't get them to fill. I thought I might be dealing with broken polygons. I ran the file through v.build and v.clean. When I still couldn't get them to fill, I looked at them in v.digit. It appeared that there were no broken polygons.
I tried opening it in qgis. There I got a fill. However, there was a board of the New England States around the Lakes and Ponds, and that is what filled.
Can I solve the problem by eliminating the boarder? Also, the islands are filling as well. Once I solve the first problem, how do I get the islands recognized as something that should not be filled?
Thanks for your help.
Kurt
