Hello. Could someone advise? I have an airport runway and for each runway I have a runway threshold coordinate - start and end. I also know the length and width of the runway between these runway thresholds. I would need to graphically create a polygon that will create the correct visualization for me based on these input attributes. The output format will be a shapefile. The dates of each runway are several times, because depending on the direction from which I land, I have the name of the runway. In reality, it is 2 points of each runway (start and end) and their one length and width. Thank you very much

Thank you for answer. This is the result from FME from my input data? Would it be possible to show the workspace? Thank you

Sure thing, it's indeed using your sample data. Note that I've simply hardcoded a runway width of 25 meters:

You could join the two points into a line (e.g. using a LineBuilder with a Group By on the runway ID) and then use the Bufferer to convert the line into a polygon using the runway width divided by 2. You probably want to use the "None" end cap style in the Bufferer. Sample result:
