+10Hi,
I want to dissolve all polygons that are under 1.5m2 into neighbouring polygons. I have managed to merge the 1.5m2 polygons that only intersect one other polygon. But with regards the rest, I want them to dissolve into the largest polygon it intersects. For example, if a 1.5m2 polygon intersects a 100m2, 200m2 and 300m2 polygon I want it to always chooose the 300m2.
Thanks very much for any help.
Kind regards
B

I'd use a spatialrelator to find the largest area that the small area was touching and then create a group_id which can be used as a group by option in the dissolver

+19Hi @bjudes
Working from home and don't have access to FME right now, but I'm thinking a SpatialRelator (to find the intersecting polygons), followed by a Sorter (by area) and a Sampler (to pick the first, i.e. the largest polygon) and then Dissolve?
