Merge polygons that do not touch/overlap

K

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.

Use the HullAccumulator or HullReplacer to merge non-touching polygons into one geometry.
