To export polygons from a polygon topology
1 In the Tool-based Ribbon Workspace, click Output tab ➤ Map Data
Transfer panel ➤ Map 3D Export.
2 In the Map Export dialog box (page 1723), select the topology to export.
All complete polygons in the selected topology are automatically selected.
3 Select Group Complex Polygons to group nested polygons into a single,
balanced polygon.
If you do not select the Group Complex Polygons option, AutoCAD Map
3D creates a separate polygon for each centroid.
To create a single polygon from nested polygons, each nested polygon
must have a centroid. For example, if three polygons are nested one
within another, and the middle polygon does not have a centroid,
AutoCAD Map 3D creates separate polygons for the inner polygon and
the outer polygon.
4 Set any other export options.
