Hi guys, I have one more question.

 

I've got task to generalize railroads in fme but I don't have any idea how to start (example data in screenshot).

 

On the screen you can see a lot of railroads with gap between around 5meters, I would extend the gap to 15 meters at least. I tried with bufferer but there is no result. Any ideas?

when you increase the gap, obviously it will take more space in the real ground.

to do this

use scaler transformer and scale up 3 times.

5x3=15 mtrs

To what do you want to generalize? And to what scale?

You can get the boundary of the marshalling area and replace with a symbol or delete some of the tracks or overexaggerate the marshalling area.
