Hello All, very new to FME, at this moment, I'm generating some nice 3D models converting FBX to KML. The purpose of these is effectively creating a 'radiation' zone.

Are there any clever tricks in FME for creating some sort of line/boundary/something when the edges of that KML intersects with a 3D Building in Google Earth?

I think this is one of these things where someone says 'absolutely' or 'actually, that's a really good idea! '

 

Thoughts very much appreciated!

 

TIA

I have tried to do something similar with aerodrome obstacle surfaces.

Unfortunately you can not access Google Earth 3D buildings.

There is a blog post that describes what you need to do to obtain the intersections here: Think like a point cloud: Tips for effective data processing | Safe Software


Caracadrian many thanks for taking the time to reply. i thought this may be the stumbling block! Google Earth is SUCH a good resource, but many aspects of it are just not within reach. Such a shame.
