How to keep attributes from both overlapping features when doing a spatial join?


Forum|alt.badge.img

Hi everyone. I have 2 esri shapefile polygons. I need to do spatial join of those 2. Features that overlap should have attributes from both input layers. I tried areaonareaoverlayer but the result is not good. Can anybody help? Thanks!

Hi @delac321, if you need to combine the two overlapping polygons to create a single polygon, try using the Dissolver transformer. You can use the 'Generate List' option to preserve required attributes of original polygon features.

Hi @delac321

The transformer AreaonAreaOverlayer has the option Generate List that is possible to combine the Attributes, when you work with spatial join between two polygons.

Thanks,

Danilo

Thanks a lot. I partly managed. Resulting features have attributes from both input layers, but lists contain only first value, and in some cases should be more but the other lists fields are empty. Any thoughts?

Hi @delac321

 

 

Please, try to expose the list elements with the transformer ListExploder.

 

 

Thanks,
