You can quickly create a closed object from line segments by selecting which lines you want to connect and the shape of the connecting line.
You can connect lines by using the closest nodes between lines. The connecting line can be either straight or curved. You can also connect lines by using their start and end nodes. The end node of the first selected line connects directly with the starting node of the closest selected line. The connected lines take on the properties of the first line selected.
Closing multiple line segments can be the starting point for more complex drawings.
