Folks I have an An autocad_surface that is listed as a fme_aggregate. Want to convert it to a surface via something like numericrasterizer. However its only doing the line edges of the triangles - and not the flat surfaces. Any thoughts? Should i run through deaggregator first ?

As mentioned above, I would try a Deaggregator first. At the very least deaggregate the data and see what comes out using the FME Data Inspector. I believe an autocad_surface can contain not just surface features but meshes, faces, etc - and I doubt they would work as well in a rasterizer.

Apart from deaggregating, try surfacefootprintreplacer. (works without aggregating too)

Though in case of donuts you should deaggregate, surfacefootprint replace and then clip to retain the hole(s).
