I have a set of data that is 4D.   I would like to compute a point coordinate given an input measure that i provide. 

 

 

I am still using FME 2011.

 

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

 

 

I think you can use the Snipper transformer in "Measure (Relative to Start Point)" or "Measure (Value)" mode. If you set the same measure value to "Starting Location" and "Ending Location", it creates a point at the specified measure. And then,  the CoordinateExtractor can be used to exract coordinate of the point. See the transformer documentation to learn more.
