Question

Hi, I'm new to FME software and community. I have a question. I have three 3D points that don't have same height. I want to create arc from these points.

First, I have straight lines that are connected, then i extract end points and mid point (which I offset in direction of Z axis). From there I use these points to manually draw arc that connects these points. I want to know is there a possibility to automate this process. These lines are representation of wires between poles. I'm new to this software and don't have much of knowledge so any help would be appreciated.

Did you try the ArcEstimator? The result is 2D, however.

Hi, I have tried but as you wrote, the result is 2D but I need 3D result.

Actually, I just tested with a 3D polyline as input to the ArcEstimator, and the output is also 3D.

If you're still struggling, please post some sample input data here.
