Thanks to Debbi L for her help today and pointing me to:
While this helped, I am at a loss as to how to build the rest of this in order to achieve the removal of unnecessary vertices. I was hoping Generalizer would be able to do the trick but it is mainly based upon the distance between vertices. Any help would be appreciated!😉
To expand upon this, I would want to remove the vertices in the adjacent lines segments highlighted in this image:
+20Hi @bsw-gis
You could try the LineCombiner and then a VertexRemover. Since the LineCombiner transformer only joins lines that start/end at the exact point, it would join the highlighted segments together. Then use the same VertexRemover parameters as this Q&A to keep only the start and end vertices.

Nice job @debbiatsafe

@debbiatsafe this is definitely pretty slick but does have an issue. See jpg of missing segment. I included the fmwt to show the settings. Not exactly sure why that is but if the segment closed, that would likely be the solution. Any help or setting I may be missing would be appreciated! Remember, these were all polygons to start.

I did try LineCloser just to see if it would work; it did not. However, more important would be to know why the segment is missing because in some cases there may be more than one and LineCloser would not work anyway.
@debbiatsafe Interestingly enough, GeometryCoercer will not take the closed line and make it back into a polygon though the start and end points should be the same.
