How to convert a point to polygon

Hi all, I have a couple of point features which are feeding through with polygons (as the points should join to polygons, bar these 2). I've tried the GeometryCoercer and CenterPointReplacer etc but no luck. Is there something I'm missing which could create even a small polygon from a point?

You could use the Bufferer, which will create a circle polygon around each point.

Update - I seem to get both of them rejected with these values

Could you share your log file?

I can't really due to the folder and feature names, but with the bufferer bit, it returns this. No errors etc, just to rejected -

Are your points 2d? According to the documentation the rejected port is for non-2d features. If you want the translation to continue regardless of the rejected features, you can change the parameter in the screenshot below to Continue Translation. Sometimes you can glean more information about the rejection if you let the translation continue through.image

It does continue on rejected features - appreciate the help though, seeming to struggle with the simplest of bits!

 

Edit - had a change round and chose "ground units". Got it working! Thank you
