Have you tried a GeometryCoercer? Not quite sure what it will do in your case without a sample set of data.

Hi, I just tried it but has no effect. The input has geometry aggregate. I applied aggregate filter and a a geometry refiner and wrote to File Geodatabase as a multipoint. Although from there to lines I have no clue. A multipoint to line would seem logical in FME, but I couldn't find it?. thanks

Try using the Microsoft SQL Server Spatial reader. That should pull in the geometry properly.

Hi @lennertpronk​ , Deaggregator and LineBuilder would be a solution, but if you don't want to do that, a PythonCaller with this script might help you. Assuming that input geometry is always a MultiPoint.

import fmeobjects
def replaceMultiPointWithLine(feature):
    coords = Wp.getXYZ() for p in feature.getGeometry()]
    feature.setGeometry(fmeobjects.FMELine(coords))

Hi @Takashi Iijima​ 

Thanks, Although get this error

What is your SQL in the SQL Creator?

I agree with @jlbaker2779​ that the Microsoft SQL Server Spatial reader should do the trick here. You mention that you are creating a view though so that could add a bit of a challenge. There is a parameter called SQL to run before read which might help

select * from dbo.[DovSeismicLine2DGeometry]

A little sample straight out of sql server spatial

ok so in this case your points are ordered so you can just use a deaggregator to get the individual points and then use a LineBuilder where you group by Line_ That gave me 9 nice looking lines

@virtualcitymatt​ 

HI thanks. Although i have 100 Thousand lines and 20 Million points. There much be a quicker why to do it.

Essentially my multi-points are already lines , sorted etc... So wonder if there is some geometry replacer to have it run more economically instead of deaggregating and aggregating again.

You have to set the function name "replaceMultiPointWithLine" to the Class or Function to Process Features parameter in the PythonCaller.

Thanks that solved it. I had to de-aggregate after all as get(XYZ) only works on Points 😀
