Hi.  I am looking for a way to convert Shapefile zm polygons to Shapefile polylines whereby the z values are inherited along the line segments.

Hi,

 

You can extract the m with the measureextractor, change the geometry with the geometrycoercder and force it to 3D (using the m) with the 3Dforcer.

 

Hope this helps.

Thank you.  I am new to FME, and am having trouble modelling the workflow. Based on the answers provided I am: Reading Polygon zm - Geometry Coercer Transformer - 3D Enforcer - Writing New File.  Does anyone have a schema I can use as a template to get started?
