Infraworks 2021 not import correct SDF from Civil 3D

Hello guys, how are you?
can you help me?
I am no longer able to import and apply Civil3D SDF files.
I did it in previous versions.

I created a polyline in Civil3D and used mapexport.
When I import into Infraworks, it does not change the file, for example with Coverage Areas.

When I set it to Grading Areas, it does not give the option to edit the style.

Has something changed in Infraworks 2021 ??

TY!

Thanks for providing your data.

Looks to me like your data is an open polyline, not a polygon.

If you close it first then import it, it'll act as a land area you can then manipulate.

After import and you go to "configure", are you selecting Coverage Area, or Grading Area? Need to select Grading Area.
