Hi, fellow FME-lovers!


I have an interesting problem that you can help me solve in an efficient way.


I have many pipe segements as solids in an ifc-file, see example in Test2.ifc. The pipes are in 3D and can be connected in all directions. (I'm not sure about the fittings but for now don't mind them.). Now, I need to calculate length per segment and I started working no a complicated scripts (2D and algebra...) but there must be more of an FME-way. I'm thinking along the lines of creating a center line from pipe start to end...


If you have any ideas I will gladly listen. 


Bonus: what if segments are bent? Will this be handled in you solution?


Peter
