Hi, I looked at many previous questions but didn't find a good answer to solve it so I make a new question with many screenshots. My Workspace.I create 1 box between 0,0 and 100,100 and 20 random circles with a radius of 5 with a center within that box. I send all circles to a custom transformer "cutloop"(I somehow need to attach a loop within here, and maybe an expressionevaluator and tester this is the main part I need help with)My writer is a dwg with a fanout expression so if I run it as it is now I get 20 "InsideX.dwg" layers for each cut box feature. This is very important part, I must have one file for each part of the box where a circle overlaps. My problem as it is now, is that some circles overlap, and since all features are read as one, the inside is not working correctly and I dont get full circles. I want individual full circles for the box which is inside each circle. (Inspected before I write each circle separatly) (Blue now I want red)Everything

Hello,I am using XML updater to update geodatabase metadata and it works well with single tag value.However when there are multiple tags it updates all of them with the same value. XML path in XMLUpdater: dataIdInfo/tpCat/TopicCatCd – before the change <tpCat> <TopicCatCd value="007"></TopicCatCd> </tpCat> <tpCat> <TopicCatCd value="018"></TopicCatCd> </tpCat> XML path in XMLUpdater: dataIdInfo/tpCat/TopicCatCd, change value: 44 – after the change <tpCat> <TopicCatCd value="44"></TopicCatCd> </tpCat> <tpCat> <TopicCatCd value="44"></TopicCatCd> </tpCat> Expected results after the change<tpCat> <TopicCatCd value="44"></TopicCatCd> </tpCat> <tpCat> <TopicCatCd value="018"></TopicCatCd> </tpCat>  Any help much appreciated. Many thanksMagda

I have a model (the pipe) that's below the ground, and a polygon (red) on the ground that I want to use to anchor the pipe model, like in this video (and second image below): https://youtu.be/W6uzB2A8T5s?t=85My (obj) 3D model has the red polygon on elevation 0 and the pipe with negative elevation. Unfortunately, when I load the fmear file, the bottom of the entire model (polygon+pipe) becomes 0, and the ground plane polygon floats in the air, which makes the placement impossible. Is there a way to push the pipe below ground? Since the app is on github I wouldn't mind trying to compile it, I just need to know what to change. For now hardcoding the offset would work too. 

Hi all,  Try adding this line in your workspace header (Menu: Tools > Edit Header). ----- FME_PROFILE_RESULT_CSV  C:\\FME\\prifile_result.csv -----  Then run. A csv file describing detailed profiling of the workspace will be created, like this image.   Today a seminor on FME was held in Tokyo as an official activity of the World Tour in Japan, Kevin@Safe told us this secret directive. He also said that a user interface such as a button will be added to Workbench for this functionality in the near future. I like this hot information very much, so would share with you!  Takashi

Hello, we are conducting a topic on BIM and GIS for our graduation project. We added the modem models in the building model that we modeled through REVIT and then added their shooting areas as a 3d sphere. In the 2-storey building, the sphere added to the modem in the ceiling appears on the base of the upper floor. This problem is also suggested by our teacher to solve the python and write a script about it. So we need to write a script that would prevent the overlay of the circles we added on the modems from the walls, but I couldn't see an example of this before, nor did I find any code written on python. I have a limited knowledge of Python, but I think we can handle it if we have a topic or an example. We will then integrate the Python script with the FME program. I'm waiting for your ideas related to the Python code that we will integrate into the model in the revision.

Everything is in the title, I have several operations on a single input dataset branching through several levels of operations. Ultimately I have some mongodb writers and python callers loading transformed data. I want to be sure that one python caller won't start before another one has ended (the first one will create documents, and the second one pushes elements into arrays within those documents).

I have a process that writes a number of text files. Just figured out how to populate an email with a number of pieces of information about each runtime, time, feature count, etc. But it's basically sending the email in parallel with the writer finishing up. I would like to have the writer trigger the email, similar to how it's described here.https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/4963/sending-mail-in-fme-desktop.htmlI can replace my TXT writer with a feature writer and write to TXT but there appears to be no fanout feature with the FeatureWriter? if that's so, is there another way to have the email kick off only after text writer completes?

Even if its a couple of months before FME 2013 will be releases I'm eager to try out FME 2014 on both Linux (Ubuntu) and Mac OS X. Is it possible to become a alpha/beta (or even pre-alpha?) tester of FME 2014 in some way?

Hello to all FME fans,I have met one issue, how to configure transformers/writers for TXT with constant/dynamic content.E.g. I just wanna generate TXT report with found errors, like below:*TOPOLOGY ERRORSFEATURE CLASS | OPACITY | ERROR | COUNT--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Value(FT) | Value(O) | Valu(E) | 10-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please, as You can see, there mix of constant/dynamic (attribute) items.How can I define to constant items its firm position (column 32) etc.? Thank You so much!Lubo 

Hello,I have some shapefiles in a folder Is there any way the workbench does select all files one by one and do the processing. The workbench that i have designed works fine for one shapefile and gives me the output in Excel in sheet 1.Also i have created a workspacerunner.This is not giving me the desired output. I need output of all the shapefiles in excel in different sheets respectively.Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Guys I'm following the instruction in this article to manage metadata (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/22583/working-with-geodatabase-metadata-writing-to-xml.html )I'm going to do the same process through lots of folders so I tried to make the workspace dynamic so that I do not know what type of feature readers and writers are. when I want to run the workspace it's failed to run. Do you guys any idea how we can process the updating creating metadata once we are transferring them to a specific geodatabase. my workspace :

I am attempting to write out 386 geotiffs and each is over 1.5 Gbs in size. It's taking about 15mins to write out each file. I am using parallel processing however when looking at task manager it seems that only 1 CPU is running / writing at a time. I'm looking for some authoring critique or insight as to what i can do to speed up the process. The workflow is attached as well as a screenshot of task manager

I noticed after upgrading to FME 2019.1 (19608) a strange behaviour. When importing Oracle FeatureTypes, FME automatically adds "fme_geomattr(index).oracleXXXX" attributes. I haven't found any setting in preferences for this, and don't know why it is doing this. - same occasion, in attribute view. Why isn't it possible to properly change the width of the columns? That's something which buggers me a long time in many builds....- in 2019.1 I cannot scroll the log-window anymore. Also clicking in the logwindow didn't help. no problems in 2019.2 which I am testing on another server. Thx for any advice, also have a great weekend everybody,best regards from switzerland, Chris.

Howdy,  Since the FeatureReader was introduced I've been getting good use out of it, but it exposes the feature types as separate outputs. In my workflows I prefer to keep a single processing path and would appreciate the option to have a "Single Merged Feature Type".. If this is currently possible I can't figure out how it's done. If it isn't could I suggest it as a product enhancement please?  Cheers, Richo.

I am using serveral AttributeValidator Transformers in FME Desktop 2019.1.2 and noticed that one of them is removing a record. I have a total of 48,328 records that I am trying to validate. However, the total output of Passed + Failed ports adds up to 48,327. The 3 AttributeValidators that I used upstream passed all records thru. Screenshot of Workbench:AttributeValidator Settings: It appears that only the 4th AttributeValidator in the workbench does this. Is there a limit to the number of AttributeValidators that a single workbench can contain. I need to use multiple AttributeValidators as I have to perform 6 unique validation test. Has anyone seen this behavior? If so, what is the fix/work-around? Or is there better way to validate data without using the AttributeValidator?Thanks,Mark

Is it possible to make data anonymous before it is read in the workbench.I have found the attributecompressor but theoretically I can read the privacy data before it is compressed.

Is it possible to merge all feature types with all attributes using FeatureReader? <General> port is not an option, 'cause it gives geometry only without attribute information.

I have two features source and MasterData i need to select in MasterData only 10 meters radius data from source. Based on Geometry and exclude attributes condition.  

Hi,I am using the WKT reader for text files containing each one WKT polygon.I want to write them to shapefiles, using their basename as fanout.But all files are getting the same value for fme_basename.  

I need to loop the table cells without repeating as you see in the Image:Thank youJohn

I have a number of features which have an attribute named ID and a list attribute named TRIPS{} like this:ID TIPS{} 1 TIPS{0}.trip = B TIPS{1}.trip = E TIPS{2}.trip = D TIPS{3}.trip = C 2 TIPS{0}.trip = E TIPS{1}.trip = C TIPS{2}.trip = D 3 TIPS{0}.trip = A TIPS{1}.trip = C TIPS{2}.trip = D TIPS{3}.trip = E 4 TIPS{0}.trip = B TIPS{1}.trip = A  For my purpose some features are redundant as all their trip values are already in other features, so for every feature I want to check if all trip values are in any other feature trips, and if so, delete the feature.In my sample list, feature ID=2 should be deleted as trips C, D and E are also in features ID=1 and ID=3. The resulting features should be:ID TIPS{} 1 TIPS{0}.trip = B TIPS{1}.trip = E TIPS{2}.trip = D TIPS{3}.trip = C 3 TIPS{0}.trip = A TIPS{1}.trip = C TIPS{2}.trip = D TIPS{3}.trip = E 4 TIPS{0}.trip = B TIPS{1}.trip = A  I tried the following: explode the list, aggregate features concatenating 'trip' attribute with commas,

Hello All, Is it possible to perform any sort of web crawling via FME? I have a button the website which downloads documents for me. I wish to automate it by some sort of crawling from FME which reaches the site and downloads the data.Kindly help.

Hello,I have an excel as a reader and i would like to add a writer for shape as output. In this, I am adding some attributes to which I need some values, which can be selected via a dropdown in shapefile. Is there any way of adding dropdown values in FME which will be reflected in shapefile as dropdown attributes?Thanks in advance.
