I hit this same problem. It seems to come from the order that the line strings were written to file. Two way around it, both kinda kludgy. Simplest, redo the line string from start to end snapping to each vertex; discard the original; use the copy Otherwise: break the line string into at least three segments then use the modify element tool or the extend to intersection tool to make sure there are no gaps; create a complex chain start to end; use the chain.
I expect there is a more elegant way to do it within fme but I am still a novice there. ----- Original Message ----- From: "fme_user" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 2:33 PM Subject: [fme] Sorting line vertices > Hi All, > > I am translating a DGN file to an XML file with GML embedded for the > spatial data.
