Hi!
I am trying to find the shortest paths between many points and one destination, any idea on how I can easiest do this? I would like to reach a similar effect as v.net.distance in QGIS. I have looked at shortestpathfinder and networkcostcalculator, but I cannot see how I should use them, or which other tools to combine them with, in order to reach my goal.
Hi @elinbr,
You can use the transformer NeighborFinder.
This transformer generate the attributes:
Thanks,

Here's a good walk-through of the ShortestPathFinder and how to use it:

Here's an older video for FME 2013, but I think most of it still applies:

Let us know if you have specfic questions.
Hi!
Thanks! However, I need the equvalence of v.net.distance in QGIS. Is that not possible in FME?

Assuming you have a network (maybe road centerlines). You create points on the network by for instance neighborfinder or buffering and overlayers.
Create a from to by merging all from's to to's (unconditionaly merging
many points to your one destination)
Then use the shortest pathfinder.
