Question

Taking information from line overlapping with another line spatially

I have two separate files, one containing GIS pipe data, and the other with pipes exported from a model. Both of these files have lines, and I want to identify the GIS lines that overlap spatially with the modelled links. I've attempted to convert the GIS lines into polygons and then check if the modelled pipes fall within these buffered polygons. However, I've tried transformers like LineOnAreaOverlay, SpatialRelator, and more, but none of them seem to be working for me. Can anyone assist me with this issue? I eventually need to compare the diameters between both files and it would also be good if can merge attributes from both files

There is a custom transformer I made which does a good job at solving this problem! Look for the LineOnLineRelator. It tries to match lines which are similar length and direction, to transfer attributes between line networks. Set the mode to Complex Closest to get the best result with it.
