I am using the SpatialFilter transformer to split a large dataset into two shapefiles. I have tried every configuration within the SpatialFilter however it keeps rejecting some of the Candidate polygons. The strange thing is that if I add a BoundingBoxReplacer before the SpatialFilter it works fine, however it outputs the bounding box and I need the original feature output. I have tried using the 'Use Boudning Box: For Candidates Only' but get the same rejection.
Question
SpatialFilter rejects candidates even though they intersect

Hi @richie, which version of FME are you using? The SpatialFilter in FME 2015 and earlier does not support aggregate geometries e.g. multi-part polygon. Check the version and geometry type of the rejected features with Data Inspector (Feature Information pane).

Hi @masoj1,
In case you don't have a newer version, you could de aggregate the features before testing them.
The latest transformer documentation shows that aggregates are supported.
That's useful takashi, I had just realised why my polygons were being rejected when I read this. Do you know if later versions of FME will allow multi-part polygons? My version is 2015.1.1.0 (20150715 - Build 15515 - WIN32)
Hi @masoj1, the SpatialFilter in FME 2016.0 or later supports aggregate/multi geometries.
