hi guys there must be a trick I'm missing. I've set kml_id and kml_parent also set kml_name (different to the id) however the folders don't seem to get created correctly. elements get one level of folders. and the folders get the kml_id not the kml_name as their heading. I'm sure that the id's are the same as the parent but only get one level of folders. yes I've set fme_feature_type to "Folder" - Using 2022.2.4.0 Build 22792 - Win64. I've also tried many variations - setting "Create folder for Feature Type" to yes and to know... spent over a day on something that should be simple. Many thanks.

Did you take a look at this tutorial at all?

It seems like it's doing what you're after?

I looked at the documentation but that was no help - I think the issue is where there are more than one feature types...

I've found a fix - Have a Feature writer where the type is "Folder"

imageimagedon't know if I needed t but I removed all geoms for folders... also you have to set kml_parent to match kml_ids of the folders - but you probably already know that

The geometry features should all go to a writer with Feature type name: "ftypeFanout", not "cable" or "zone_substation_site"
