I'd recommend validating the network first.All the FME network transformers assume that the network is clean.All intersections are fully noded and junctions occur at endpoints,not mid-point vertices.Use the NetworkTopologyCalculator to help validate the network and look for segments that do not connect
sounds good mark,will give it a try.thanks
@lemziphave a look at the NetworkCostCalculator transformer.Set the Weight Type By Length and output cost by Z value.Then test the Z values for your distance.
