Equivalent Tool for "Explode" in ArcGIS Pro in FME?

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to replicate the "Explode" functionality of ArcGIS Pro in FME. The Explode tool in ArcGIS Pro breaks multipart geometries into individual single-part features. For example, if I have a multipart polygon, it will split it into multiple single-part polygons, each becoming a separate feature in the output.

I've looked into the GeometryPartExtractor, but I'm not entirely sure if this is the correct transformer or how to configure it properly for this task. Is there a specific transformer or method in FME that is directly equivalent to ArcGIS Pro's Explode?

Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have a look at the Deaggregator, I think that will do what you want. Make sure to set Mode to Flatten All Levels.
