I'd like to divide my 3D polylines by 3.28084 (feet to meters) - I think I'm close with 3D Forcer, using Arithmetic Editor but it's not quite working...

 

@ZValue()/3.28084

What seems to be wrong when you try it that way? 3DForcer with that expression seems to work for me in FME2019.1 build 19630.

The Z remains the exact same - unchanged.

Hi @daveatsafe​ 

YES! This worked perfectly. For anyone following, I used Scaler with the following parameters to convert 3D Polyline Z values from feet to meters:
