Am sure am missing out some step or obtain right setting. I am trying to extract points that fall inside or intersect 3D Cube . 

 

I am also getting points as an output that are not within 3D Cube . 

 

 

 

 

Please note: 3D is cube is multi-surface with different shapes and its IFC file.  I shall be highly obliged with FME Community expert to help me with their know-how and expertise to bridge that missing part / thank you for support and time.

Hi @vimva679,

The SpatialFilter is currently 2D only - it does not use Z for its filtering. Please try using the Clipper instead, which will separate the inside and outside points when using solid geometry as a clipper feature.
