3DArcReplacer
Replaces the geometry of the feature with a three-dimensional arc whose
shape is set by the parameters, which can be either constant floating
point values or the values of existing attributes.
Input Ports
Input
This transformer accepts any feature.
Output Ports
Arc
Output features with replaced arc geometries.
Parameters
You can enter parameters as a number, or choose them from the value of a feature attribute
by selecting the attribute name from the pull-down list.
Center X
The center x, y, and z parameters set the origin of the arc.
Center Y
The center x, y, and z parameters set the origin of the arc.
Center Z
The center x, y, and z parameters set the origin of the arc.
Primary Axis
The primary and secondary axis set the radii of the arc. Note that the
primary axis need not be larger than the secondary, however, the rotation
angle is always measured from the x axis to the primary axis. To make
a circular arc, set both the primary and secondary axis to the same value.
Secondary Axis
The primary and secondary axis set the radii of the arc. Note that the
primary axis need not be larger than the secondary, however, the rotation
angle is always measured from the x axis to the primary axis. To make
a circular arc, set both the primary and secondary axis to the same value.
Start Angle
The start angle controls where the arc begins, and is measured in degrees
counterclockwise from horizontal.
Sweep Angle
The sweep angle controls the duration of the arc, and is measured in
degrees. The arc will run from the start angle to the start angle plus
the sweep angle.
Rotation
The rotation angle is measured in degrees counterclockwise from horizontal,
and measures the rotation of the primary axis from horizontal.
Usage Notes
If the parameters for the arc are not known and need to be calculated
from a linear feature’s geometry, the ArcEstimator should be used.
Editing Transformer Parameters
Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click 
beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
