Hi Guys,

 

means i want place an inside arc everywhere with a fixed radius

---

Hi

 

 

I'm not quite sure I understand your question, but if you need to create arcs based on radius etc, then look at the 2DArcReplacer.

i have a route with vertices...in microstation there is a function which is called Circular fillet....means where two lines come together in an anglepoint both lines where curved by a certain radius...

 

Also complicate explanation or?

---

here a screenshot ....

 

 

red line with vertices and angles.......blue line the arc with a certain radius!

---

You want to create continous radius fillets (a piece of a circle..) and be in control of the radius.

 

 

There are a number of ways of doing that.

 

 

Make a network of lines to acquire id and relationships between lines (wich lines do touch/intersect at an angle) . (or use spatialrelator to do that)

 

 

With 2 lines you can create the centerline (line with equal distance to both). On this the circle must reside.

 

This is basic math, so relatively easy to accomplish. These parametric values  u can enter in a 2dArcCreator with radius as  a manual inputparameter.

 

 

Or you can just go and set up the calculation for equal distance to both the lines, after you have extracted their parametric descirption. And create the fillet circle and cut it with the lines.

Hi Gio,

 

thats seems clear for me:

But i want to do it on the complete route and i have always the same radius....so it is another way or...or what transformers i have to use in which order?

How i can calculate something as start or end of the angle which i need to put in the 2DARCReplacer?

Thx

Hi Franco,

 

 

IHi Franco,

 

 

It's possible to calculate parameter values for the 2DArcReplacer, but it would be a little bit complex. I think it's easier to create an arc from 3 points using a script.

 

I wrote a script example. Assuming that the input feature has attributes storing:

 

- the radius of required arc: "_radius"

 

- the coordinates of 3 vertices of the bended line. start: (_x0, _y0), middle: (_x1, _y1), end: (_x2, _y2).

Sorry, the script did not support the case that the angle of the bending is acute.

 

This is the upgraded version.

Hi Takashi,

yeah it looks very complex....i will try it but befor ethat one question....from which line the attributes should be stored in an attribute? from the lines between the vertices? e.g. i have a route with 125 segments.....the script need coordinates (start, middle, end) from each segment?

Thx

Franco

This is a workspace for testing the script. If you send polyline(s) to this workflow, the PythonCaller with the script creates arcs for each bending location.

 

 

 

Counter: Add temporary ID attribute ("_count") to the input polyline.

 

Chopper: Decompose the polyline into individual line segments.

 

CoordinateExtractor: Extract the coordinates of start and end nodes. (x0, y0), (x1, y1)

 

AttributeCreator: Extract the coordinate of end node of the next segment (x2, y2), and also save its ID.

 

Tester: Discard the last segment in a original polyline.

---

oops, forgot. Add another attribute storing the radius.

Tester(TestFactory): Tested 107 input feature(s) -- 0 feature(s) passed and 107 feature(s) failedTester_PASSED Feature Counter -1 19(TeeFactory): Cloned 0 input feature(s) into 0 output feature(s)

No. "ArcReplacer" is the class name that I defined in the script.

Check if all the attribute names (_radius, _x0, _y0, _x1, _y1, _x2, _y2) are correct.

I saved the test workspace here. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ufVP2t0eApQVFWQnJET3lweGs/view?usp=sharing)

 

FYI.

Hi Takashi,

 

 

Even I was also trying for fillet.

 

Is it possible to provide the workbench in lower version? else please provide the screenshot of the workbech.

 

 

Thank you

 

 

 

---

Will this script will do fillet (to given radius) with 2 differnet lines?

---

Hi Pratap,

 

 

This is FME 2013 SP4+ version. (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0ufVP2t0eApQ3JEQlhGUHJNTzA/view?usp=sharing)

 

The script creates arcs based on a given radius and a polyline, like this image.

 

 

 

Takashi

---

Thank you Takashi.

---

I'm not sure what the "fillet" function is. If the function means inserting an arc between the two adjoining line segments to smooth the bending point, I think that the script which performs that can be developed by improving my script.

---

Is this your required result?
