I have imported an IFC file in a reader. I would like to take the ifcSpace geometry (an Aggregate Solid) and break it down to its constituent faces.
Any ideas please?
Thanks
Gareth

HI Gareth,
possibly a series of these transformers works.
1) Deaggregator to decompose the aggregate solid into individual solids.
2) GeometryCoercer to transform the solids into composite surfaces.
Geometry Type: fme_composite_surface
3) Deaggregator to split the composite surfaces into individual surfaces.
Split Composites: Yes

How can you deaggregate a solid into the main surfaces without ending up with all individual faces?
I would like to merge all those coplanar faces. I have tried the SurfaceDissolver but it doesn't work.
