Hello!

 

 

I need to write a couple of Feature Types to an ESRI geodatabase (*.gdb). For some Feature Types I succed, while for others I don't.

 

 

I receive the message: "Cannot write a non-area feature to an area feature class".

 

 

I checked and saw that the features that need to be written are mainly polygons. It could be that the data became somewhat polluted.

 

 

Using a GeometryFilter, setting and connecting it to the Area-port did not solve the problem. For some reason still a fme_line succeeded to get through and gave me the same error message.

 

 

Anyone ideas?
It might be a technilcally valid area feature but basically a line that not satisfies gdb writers requirement. (this can happen when using intersectors, or overlayers where borders are very close to each other)

 

Maybe you should use a geometry validator  (with or without repairng) prior to writing.
Thanks Gio for your answer!

 

 

I tried the geometry validator. It did not work. The translation still failed.

 

 

Thanks anyway for your suggestion!
