Merge polygons that do not touch/overlap

Hello,

I am looking for a transformer that is much like the "merge" function in ArcGIS. I need to be able to merge two polygons that do NOT touch into one feature. It is possible to do this manually in ArcGIS, is there a way to do this in FME?

I cannot add area to either of the features in order to do this sort of merge (ie: bridge them together with a small polygon), since area is a sensitive attribute for this feature class.

Dissolver did not work! I could only get it to merge polygons that physically touch.

Thanks!

Hi,

if you want to create multipart features, you can use the Aggregator.
