Hi,
We have an FME workbench to extract features from PostGIS, run through a GeometryValidator to identify and repair features, then written to an ESRI geodatabase. However when loading features from the Geodatabase in ArcMap, some features are prevented from loading due to geometry errors, such as self intersects. Is there a way to configure FME to match the geometry validation routine performed by ESRI and if possible repair these?
In the GeometryValidator there is a setting to check self intersects. Worth checking that this is setup in the parameters
Another thing to consider is the accuracy of the coordinates - fme/postgis might be dealing with 10dp of accuracy:
vertex1: x:123.4567890123, y:987.6543210987
vertex2: x:123.4567912345, y:987.6543201234
The above to vertices are different. However, when these are loaded into the GDB, the GDB may only be working at 4dp of accuracy, therefore the vertices are rounded to:
vertex1: x:123.4568, y:987.6543
vertex2: x:123.4568, y:987.6543
These vertices are now the same
