Remarks

Constructs polygons into the target feature class, using the map's selection as the feature source. The selection can contain polylines and polygons. If polygons are included in the selection, their boundaries will be used and will simply act as additional polylines being considered for target polygon construction. Multi-part input polygons will not appear as multi-part polygons in target.

If bModifyExisting is true, then the specified processing bounds envelope will be used to search for existing polygons in the target feature. Those polygons will be integrated with any polygons constructed from the input linework. Other than that, existing polygons have no influence on the nature of the constructed polygons. The processing bounds parameter can be nil if bModifyExisting is false.

If bReplaceTargetSelection is true, then the selected features that are already in the target feature class will be replaced by their planarized versions, otherwise the planarized versions will be added in addition to the originals, resulting in overlapping features in the target. In both cases, planarized features originating from target features will receive the correct attributes. 

The label feature class is optional and can specify an attribute source for the constructed polygons.
