ImageIdentifier

FME Hub user kailinatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.DescriptionThe ImageIdentifier is designed for use with Ollamas' Llava 7B parameter model, leveraging its API endpoint for image classification. It is intended for use with JPEG and PNG image formats.Installing Ollama and Llava 7BThis transformer will need an instance of Ollama running on a machine.OllamaWindows/Mac OS/Linux: https://ollama.com/downloadInstructions can be found here: https://github.com/ollama/ollama?tab=readme-ov-file#ollamaLlava 7B ModelInstructions: https://ollama.com/library/llava:7bDetailsThis transformer uses the URL from an Ollama instance and leverages Ollamas' Llava 7B API via its model. A prompt is used to make an HTTP GET Request. This is then returned to the user by attribute.Photo by Robson Hatsukami Morgan on Unsplash Would you like to know more?

ImageWatermarker

FME Hub user donalmateer just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The ImageWatermarker allows you to add Watermark images, such as photographs, scanned maps, CAD blueprints, and rasterized PDFs.This transformer combines two image files (one base image, one watermark image) and overlays the Watermark onto the base image, allowing the user to choose the opaqueness, frequency, angle and scale of the Watermark.Created in FME Form 2024.1 build 24612.Would you like to know more?

ImageryHalor

FME Hub user kailinatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.This transformer creates a halo around an image – a gradual blend into the surrounding user-selected color, to create smooth effects and transitions from imagery to a background. To generate the halo, the transformer creates concentric buffers around the image area. Each buffer receives the same RGB value. Once buffers are rasterized, the transformer copies color values to the alpha band where they will represent the amount of transparency rather than colors. The higher the value, the more transparent a pixel will be moving outward of the project area. Created in FME Form 2024.1 build 24612. Requires MultiBufferer to be installed.

CityGML 2.0 Building to IFC 4

FME Hub user conterra just uploaded a new template to the FME Hub.The 3D Solution Templates are a collection of FME Workspace Templates for the efficient processing of 3D data. They allow 3D experts to manage their 3D data and can be extended for specific use cases.The template is based on the master's thesis by Christoph Frey (HTW Dresden). It was published as an article and can be found here.If you have any questions or if you are looking for professional services support, please contact fme@conterra.de.Terms of use and license (con terra Technologies Components) are agreed upon by downloading this file.Workspace DescriptionThis Template shows how to convert simple CityGML 2.0 buildings to IFC4. The buildings can either be modelled as a whole through the class IfcBuildingElementProxy or by its components through the classes IfcRoof, IfcWall and IfcSlab. The template contains placeholders to set native IFC standard attributes. Specific user attributes beyond the IFC standard are writt

SolidOrientationRefiner

FME Hub user joeluhlin just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.The SolidOrientationRefiner transformer checks and corrects the orientation of surfaces in solid geometries. It ensures that each face’s normal points in the specified direction (either outward or inward from the solid structure) and that each face polygon’s vertex order follows a clockwise direction, ensuring consistent, valid geometry suitable for 3D modeling and rendering.Would you like to know more?

X12FeatureReader

FME Hub user daveatsafe just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.This transformer uses the pyx12 Python module to read X12 formatted data files, like those used for EDI 835 and 837 business data exchange. X12 data is hierarchical, but for easier usage, this transformer will output relational tables that include the links required to establish parent/child relationships. Schema features for the tables will also be output for use with Dynamic writers.To install the pyx12 library for use with FME, please follow the instructions found here The max Python version supported by pyx12 is 3.9, but you can make it 3.12 compliant (at least for the purposes of this transformer) after installation, by changing line 308 in C:\Users\<user>\Documents\FME\Plugins\Python\python312\pyx12\x12file.py from:self.fd_in = open(src_file_obj, 'U', encoding='ascii')to:self.fd_in = open(src_file_obj)Alternatively, you can install Python 3.9, then set FME to use that version using the instructions found

FeaturePrioritizer

FME Hub user bwn just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.FeaturePrioritizerFeaturePrioritizer outputs features in a sorted order according to which Input Port they enter. Features that enter the OutputFirst Port, will be output first, and features that enter the OutputLast Port will be output last.This is useful for Transformers and Writers that need features to enter in a particular order. For example, Writers/FeatureWriters that rely on a separate Schema Feature to be the first to enter prior to the main data features to prevent a writing error, or Transformers that aggregates or merges groups of features and are set to only use one feature as the Attributes for the output etc.Would you like to know more?

FeatureExecutor

FME Hub user bwn just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.FeatureExecutorFeatureExecutor easily allows workspace designers to directly insert a table of fixed data into the Workspace and auto-generate Features from it.The table format required is a block of text of tabular rows of delimited values. Typical use cases are for when there is a need to create directly within the Workspace data without having to read from external data sources Eg. A fixed lookup/data table directly insidethe Workspace, or to generate a sample of data for testing, to cross join Features to a fixed table, or to setup/copy examples of data from the Safe Forums etc.This simplifies creating multiple features with different attributes and different values per Feature within one Transformer.Auto-translation from Microsoft Excel Copy/Paste worksheet data directly into the Transformer's Text Data Box is supported.

AttributeTruncationChecker

FME Hub user bwn just uploaded a new transformer to the FME Hub.AttributeTruncationCheckerThis Transformer compares Workspace Features to separate Reference Schema Features to find and report where Attribute value string widths exceed the maximum widths of the Reference Schema(s) Attributes/Fields. This allows workflows to detect in advance which Features and Attribute values will likely be Truncated during Writing.The Transformer must have input Reference Schema Feature(s), with it being recommended to use FeatureReader to generate these from a sample/production destination Schema. The workspace features being inspected must have either an Exposed Attribute set to values equal to the corresponding Feature Type Name value as the Schema Feature to compare against, or have this value able to be calculated through an FME expression, otherwise the Features will pass through the Transformer with no comparison/detection performed if it cannot match the inspected features feature type name
