Is there a transformer that will assign an elevation value interpolated from a set of contour lines?

Hi @e_blair, if the contour lines are 3D line features, the SurfaceDraper might help you. Send the contour lines to the Points/Lines port, send the question point to the DrapeFeatures port, and set a preferable tolerance to the Surface Tolerance parameter. The resulting point will have z-coordinate interpolated based on the contour lines.
