So, in the context of pipelines we run camera inspections registering different damages and features along the pipeline. We have registered pipelines by ID in a larger gis database. I already have a script running that reads the information and returns all the registerd freatures in the camera inspections and draws it in a arcgis. The issue is that sometimes the lines have bends even with the same ID. making it hard to create new points at the specified distance. 

So what i need is something that creates a point at a specific length from the starting point ID, that takes into account the geometric changes of the line.  

 

in the example picture under, i want to draw a point at the POI. I have the distance(70m) from start. But there does not seem to be obvious functionality for this in FME. Any ideas?

 

 

 

There is a custom transformer in FME Hub that should do this for you. https://hub.safe.com/publishers/safe-lab/transformers/distancemarker

Will this make it possible to draw multiple symbols along the same line?


FME doesn’t symbolize features per se, but yes, it should create multiple points along the line from which you could symbolize in the platform you are working in.
