Hi. I have a spreadsheet containing stations, offsets and direction of offset (left or right). This needs to be translated to point data.How would I automate this?

Let's say that you have your attributes like this:
Xcoord - the x coordinate
Ycoord - the y coordinate
Direction - Left or Right
Offset - The distance of the offset
Then you can use the VertexCreator to create the points and use the Conditional Value function to calculate the x coordinate for the offset point:

Assuming the stations have an X and Y coordinate, you can use the VertexCreator transformer to create points for the stations.
Next you would use the Offsetter transformer to move the points according to the listed offset.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the advice!
