Yes. Create a unique attribute for each of your linestrings, generate the midpoint of the line as a point, and then join them back onto the line using an Aggregator grouping by the unique ID. Jason

I am using FME 2006. I have LineString-type features that I want to show in Google Earth that also have an attribute table shown in the KML Description tag. The problem is that I cannot select the line feature on Google Earth. I know this is as-designed and that the KML spec recommends that if you want to have the line "selectable" that you should put an actual information Point somewhere on the line. Points are selectable on the map. So here is my question: Does the FME KML Writer support KML's MultipleGeometry tag? Ideally, for the above-mentioned line features I would create a single placemark that has both a LineString and a Point inside the MultipleGeometry tag. I cannot see how to do this in FME. The workaround I found was to split the data flow into two streams in Workbench and create a LineString and a Point feature. This has the desired effect but it also doubles the size of my KML file because now I have to attach all the same kml_description information in two features. Using the MultipleGeometry tag would solve this problem. Does anyone have other ideas about how to solve this problem. Regards, Alfred
