Draw perpendicular Lines at Specific Distances

Thank you very much @takashi.

Do I need to divide the original straight line before the featuremerger?

This is the result that I got so far. It's a Friday here, I must be missing something in my brain. Have a good weekend, @takashi

@thiru, why do you think that you might need to divide the line? In my workspace example, I assumed that the input is just a single straight line, and every "Distance" is measured from the start node (Distance = 0). If the actual data condition is different, naturally different workflow would be necessary. Please clarify the actual condition including the definition of each column - "ID", "Object", "Distance".

Thanks @takashi for responding to my request.

Here's my workspace 2dvectorgen.fmw I can specify the start and end coordinates and use Creator to generate the line layer. What do I use in FeatureMerger where it asks "Join On"

I was using an existing line layer to feed to requestor. I got confused on using FeatureMerger join on.

ID is a row-id that I have added to sort them from 1 to n

Object is what it is

Distance starting from one end of the line (length = 0)

I do not need to divide the line layer. If I can measure the Distance and mark the Offset lines, that's all is required. Thanks once again.

@thiru, you can merge every Supplier to each Requestor feature unconditionally with setting an identical constant value (e.g. 1) to the Join On parameter. For example:

Hi @takashi ok, I now end up with "the number of coordinates is less than 2" error. No features are being created.

Connect the Inspector transformer to the FeatureMerger and Snipper and run again, to check if every input feature has a line geometry.

FeatureMerger Merged outputs one record (first row of Excel), no geometry

FeatureMerger Referenced outputs 11 records

Snipper outputs all 11 records, no geometry.

Make sure that the Creator outputs a feature containing line geometry, and the "Feature Merge Type" parameter of the FeatureMerger is set to "Attributes Only".

if you built lists, you might find yourself dumping geometry.

USe a geometryextraxctor prior to merging, if thats the case. And replacer after merging.

Success. Your solution has worked @takashi . The Create did not create the geometry because the co-ordinates that typed have vanished. I retyped them again and it works now.

I am so grateful for your guidance. Thanks.

Good to hear :-)

I forgot that the 2DVectorCalculator can accept a negative value for the Vector Length parameter. If the specified length value is negative, the direction of the resulting line will be reversed. Therefore, you can omit the Tester and one 2DVectorCalculator in the workspace.
