Change elevation

I have some survey data incorporated into mapping data in a DGN. I need to change the elevation of the survey data within the DGN without affecting the mapping data. I know it is a long shot, but is there a feature in FME that will do this? Another issue is that the elevation change isn’t constant.

Hi,

 

 

I probably don't understand exactly your actual situation, but in general, to set elevation (z-coordinate) to a geometry, you can use the 3DForcer transformer.

 

If you need to perform any other transformation, please describe it a little more concretely.

I have a similar issue. I would like to add 100m to all elevation data in a DWG file but I'm not sure how to do it for all non-point features since the elevations are contained in many vertices that make up a single line.

I don't think 3Dforcer will help me because it only extracts the first elevation along a line, not all the elevations.

Does anyone have any tips?

Thank you

If you want to consistantly add 100m, I would try the Offsetter with a z offset of 100.

Thanks jdh, the Offsetter works
