converting fills to zone with magic wand

Screenshot 2024-08-06 at 2.04.52 PM.png

 I was trying to convert fills to zones and I was able to do that in one file. I copied same elements to a new file and tried converting fills to zones using magic wand and it says its not a closed polygon! Whats wrong? the first file is a file migrated from version 26 and this is made in 27.  Please help! thank you.

 After you click on the Zone Tool, Check your Construction Method settings.   You need to have one of the first two methods selected for use with the magic wand on a Fill.
