Hello,

I have a 3D surface (mesh) and I am looking to extract point coordinates on a 5 X 5 Grid of this mesh.

A conceptual workflow in my mind would be:

Create a 5X5 Grid based on the bounding box of the surface (?)

Extract the coordinates of the points that are on the surface using a spatial filter

This is not much to start, but any suggestions would be welcome.

 

Thank you,

 

George

Yes, that sounds about right. BoudingBoxReplacer on the surface, 2DGridReplacer to turn that into a grid, SurfaceDraper to drape that grid over the original surface.

FME rocks! \m/
