I am looking to add vertices every X meters along a line (singlepart shapefile). Chopper seems to almost get me there, but it is making a multipart shapefile rather than working at a vertex level. Is modifying the abilities of the Chopper with another transformer the right approach?

Combination of the IterativeSnipper_2013 (FME Store) and the LineJoiner could be also effective.

Hi, the Densifier might help you. Alternatively, you can also use LineJoiner to re-connect the chopped lines after the Chopper.

thanks Takashi - IternativeSnipper+LineJoiner worked.

 

 

somehow Chopper+LineJoiner did not do the trick (I think I tried this before). Any ideas as to why? Perhaps there is a specific setting needed in the menu that I didn't get.

The Chopper seems to divide a line at existing vertices, so there is a case where the length of chopped line is much different from specified Approximate Length.
