Hi everyone,

 

I have a points shape (.shp with Z value) that contains a field with measured Z-values (called Zvalue and is a float), which I copied from a different point shape in my workbench.

 

The idea is that the Z value (the coordinate) is set to the value in it's Zvalue field.

Does anyone know how this is done in FME?

Use a 3dForcer and set the Z value as the elevation. That will turn them into 3d points.

Thanks for the answer!

3D forcer was indeed the best option to force the Z-value to a attribute.
