I have been asked to make a 3D model of some buildings for use in Sketchup

 

I have Ordnance Survey building outlines with a height attribute and used the extrude transformer to make a model. The problem is that we need each building to be individually selectable/editable but the file i created merged them all into one thing.

 

How can i extrude to individual buildings in one model?

 

 

Since I dont know how to do it in Sketchup so thought I would try in FME as it seems to have a lot of 3D tools

 

(i tried using the fanout in the feature properties but this made a skp file for each building and they werent in the correct geographic location - we dont want this)
