Hi,

i'm wondering if someone knows which mix of transformers i can use to 'align' (extend or trim) polygons along lines?

 

I have polygons of road area and i have a line which is the separation between the road and the sidewalk .

 

the point is that the polygon edge of the sidewalk is not align along the line and i'm looking for a way to do this for thousands of them.

 

In Arcmap, the tool 'Align to shape' is the key to that but definitely not an option for thousands of areas...

 

thank you for reading this. Hope that someone will help me!

Hi @max_d,

The AnchoredSnapper transformer may be helpful. Use the road as the Anchors and snap the sidewalk line to it.

Thank you Dave, i've just tested it and it solved 80% of my problem!

I've just selected the lines as the anchors in order to modify the area of the roads.

Bye,
