Hi @bertdoeve cant really help you with the xfMap, but would like to suggest using the XML reader in 2016 since it can map all the attributes for you with a few clicks.

After that is a matter of recreating the gml geometry with the GeometryReplacer.

Veel succes!

Hi @bertdoeve,

Could you try this xfmap?

hi @juanchuchow1323

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunatly your answer results in another problem.

it is possible that in the xml alignement elements exist with only one SpoorasInfoPunt element.

so the constructor cann't construct a line because there is only one point. Is there a way to exclude those alignement elements?

now the readers reports an error and stops translating.

Hi @bertdoeve,

You could set the XML reader "Continue on Geometry Error" parameter to "Yes", and/or, modify the <geometry activate="xml-line"/> from the xfmap above to:

<geometry activate="xml-line">
  <data name="allow-incomplete-geometry">
    <literal expr="true"/>
  </data>
</geometry>

Either "allow-incomplete-geometry" or "demote-incomplete-geometry" may be used, the difference is explained here:
