Hi there

 

I receive the following error message in the translation log:

 

LeftRightSpatialCalculator_3_SpatialFilter (SpatialFilterFactory): 'Filters First' was specified, but a 'Candidate' feature has been input before any 'Filter' features. Subsequent 'Filter' features will be ignored.

If I change the Base Type to 'Single Base' I receive the following error message

 

LeftRightSpatialCalculator_4_SpatialFilter (SpatialFilterFactory): In processing groups, the following warning "'Filter Type' 'Single Filter' was specified, but no 'Filter' features were input. All 'Candidate' features FAILED" appeared 1 times.

 

when I check the reject output it has the following rejection reason:

 

INVALID_BASE_GEOMETRY_TYPE

 

Would anyone be able to explain what this means please?

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

James

Hi @jameswc, first of all, make sure that the Base features were Lines.

Also, you need to set the Base Type parameter according to the following conditioins.

  • How many features do you enter to the Base port?
  • Are you sure that all the Base feature(s) will be entered in the transformer before any Candidate feature?

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

Hi Takashi

 

After speaking support@safe.com they informed me that the Aggregator transformer will not work with the LeftRightSpatialCalculator. They told me that I should be using of the LineCombiner instead which will ensure that the base features are lines (as you have specified) and this has worked. Thank you for taking the time to help with this issue.

 

Best regards

James
