ArcGIS Pro has this geoprocessing tool "Multipatch to Raster" to convert multipatch (3D) vector data (shape file or geodatabase) to rasters. Does FME have this functionality? Seems to me the few rasterizers in FME only handle 2D data. I am at FME 2021.1.1

Have you tried the ImageRasterizer?

You can also try the Raster​DEMGenerator

I tried, it does not work. The numericRasterizer works, but it does not do interpolation for nodata cells, so the results look like a jelly fish. with "Fill Background with Nodata" set to "Yes".

The multipatch is polygons, not points and lines. I am going to try using pythoncaller to run arcpy.conversion.MultipatchToRaster.

It should still work with a multipatch. Did you try it?​

Just tried. Look like it works. So I have results from both arcpy.conversion.MultipatchToRaster and RasterDEMGenerator. I am asking the users to review them and see which ones work better.
