I am using the Buffer whish does give me areas then the Dissolver.
The Dissolver removes almost all my features. I'll try playing with
the DonutBuilder and see what I come up with. I've seen reference to
a "PolygonDissolveFactory" and I believe this is the transformer I've
been looking for, but I don't have it in my transformer list.
Thanks for the ideas!!
