In QGIS it’s possible to convert a points layer to a polygons layer in just a few steps. To do so there are some minimum requirements for the points layer, because QGIS has to know which points should be grouped to a polygon and in which order these points must form a polygon. To illustrate this I have created a test layer with 7 points. I added two new fields: “polygon” and “order”. The field “polygon” indicates which points have to form a polygon together. In this example the result should be two polygons (1 & 2). The field “order” indicates in which order the points should be connected to form a polygon. In this example the result will be a triangle and a quadrangle (quadrilateral).
