GeometryInstantiator

Replaces a geometry definition with independent geometry instances that are copies of the original geometry definition.

How does it work?

The GeometryInstantiator replaces any feature geometry that refers to a geometry definition with a fully instantiated geometry that no longer requires a reference to that definition.

The affine transformation that defined the position of each instance in the geometry definition, including position, scale, and rotation, is applied to each instance.

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.

Defining Values

There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.

Dialog Options - Tables

Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
