In a workflow where the reader does not automatically create geometry, which is a valid use of VertexCreator?

• A. To merge datasets
• B. To generate geometry from existing coordinates
• C. To convert to GML
• D. To export to CSV

Answer: (B)

VertexCreator is used when you have coordinate data but no geometry coming from the reader. In such a workflow, the tool takes the existing coordinate fields (like X, Y, and optionally Z) and constructs real geometric features from them. That makes it the correct choice for turning raw coordinates into usable geometry, precisely when the reader doesn’t create geometry automatically. Merging datasets, converting to GML, or exporting to CSV are different tasks that don’t build geometry from coordinates, so they aren’t the right fit in this scenario.
