Hello everybody, im looking for a transformer that replace the "eleminate of Arcgis", i want to merge the small polygone (less than 5000m2) with neighboring polygons that have the largest area or the longest shared border.
i heard that sliver remover can do it but im not sure
Thanks

@hafida115 In FME 2018 the SliverRemover was replaced by the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner. To expand on @danilo_fme 's comment. You could try using the AreaCalculator & TestFilter to drop the polygon's with areas less than 5000m2 , and then try using the AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner to fill in the holes left behind.
+51Hi @hafida115
There is the transformer Dissolver that merge all polygons that are touching.
Before this Dissolver, I suggest you to use the transformer AreaCalculator and after the Tester to filter polygons less than 5000m2.
Thanks,

+44Do you want to merge by largest area or longest shared border, one is more straightforward than the other in fme
