<div class="IPBDescription">little but very annoying</div>Hello, I started to "play" with the Spark Editor 6 months ago and recently I started a map. The Editor is very cool, and easy to use but I have a problem with the "Create Face" function.

For example I link 4 lines together, most of the time it will automatically create face but sometimes I will just stay with an empty polygon, but that's not a probleme because I have the "Create Face" function which works most of the time too... but not always, and when it doesn't it's very frustrating because I'm blocked with my poor empty useless polygon.
I spend 15 or 30 minutes each time at trying to fix it before ragequit because I can't find solution.

So maybe I haven't understand something or there is a tip to solve that, I don't know, juste need help :).
I'm sorry if the question has already been posed and thank you by advance.

    It might be because your 4 vertexes aren't coplanar, or just try to select all the vertexes in the area and weld them, and retry create face.

    Most of the time ive had this problem it was caused by some of the vertices not being on the same level as the rest of them. Check it by changing your view and make sure the face is completely flat. Also sometimes it helps to connect the vertices with extra lines and then deleting them after the face finally gets created.

    Thank you so much, the solution with the weld function works ! :)

    If I have real trouble, I just create a new face, and snap the corners of the face to the vertices.
