Hi Mark, I think (if I am visualizing this correctly) that you're coming up against a weakness of FME, that we can't yet snap to a line unless a vertex exists to snap to.
It's tough to find an alternative solution w/o having data to try it on. The one transformer I found that works on a tolerance for points/lines is the PointOnLineOverlayer. You could try dropping one of the lines to points using a Chopper then run everything through a PointOnLineOverlayer. This will give you extra vertices at the required points, and you can now run this and an unchopped copy of the second line through the Snapper. Hope this helps. I'll pass your question around the Pro Services team here to see if anyone else has some better suggestions. Regards, Mark Mark Ireland, Senior Product Specialist Safe Software Inc.
