Hi everyone,

In FME 2023, does anyone know the correct way to create a 3D vector starting from a list of 3D coordinates referring to two different moments in time?

In the past, it was possible to connect two Vertex Creator transformers to generate a 3D vector by linking two 3D points. However, it seems that this is no longer possible in the same way.

Any suggestions or alternative solutions?

    Hmm, what you're doing sounds correct. Double check the settings of the VertexCreator. There are several options. One is Add Point which is what you're looking for. 

    I think the default is Replace With Point so maybe you're just using the default? 

    If you're already using Add Point then what is the behaviour you're seeing?
