Hi there,

I'm using the SpatialRelator transformer to select polygons from Dataset A that intersect with datasets B, C, D, E and F. Currently it is selecting too many polygons as there is a very slight overlap of geometries to neighbouring polygons. I wish to apply a negative search distance to counteract this (-0.1m) but not sure how to achieve this as I can't find it in the settings for the SpatialRelator transformer.

Has anyone achieved this?

Equivelant in ArcMap:

Hi @anne_shanahan I don't know if a negative value is possible in the transformer, but you could use a negative value in the bufferer transformer and then evaluate the spatial relationships.

Hope this helps
