Hi everyone, I have a question: how can I use FME to create a series of equally spaced points along a 3D polyline provided as input from a DXF file?

One way to do this:

  • Densifier to add vertices on interval, for example 1 meter.
  • Chopper to chop to lines with certain distance, for example 1 meter.
  • Chopper to chop to points with one vertice.
