Hi! I'm struggeling to create a 3D object/mesh from this point cloud I have. I really wanted to try out the PointCloudSurfaceBuilder but it wont work for me (asked about that in an other Q).  Instead I've tried to process it through SurfaceModeller/TINGenerator but left with an undesired result. My problem is that the empty space is included in the model.  I now try to work with vertices (generated from SurfaceModeller) which I transform further into polygons trying to get the outlines or the general shape of the point cloud, without success. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to either drop the empty space in the TINSurface or approach this matter of generating a 3D model representing the point cloud.

Dear All,I would like to read .skp file and scale it to specific size with BoundsFitter. It works perfectly until I want to write it as FBX file. The output looks strange. Translation .skp -> .fbx works fine. Also, with all my other transformers but after BoundsFitter step geometry is "spoiled". However, this is the case only in external viewers i.e. native Autodesk tool. In FME Inspector everything looks good.Moreover, lamp is positioned under the plane - the Z centroid is somewhere in between the whole geometry. This is also strange as the Move to Local Coordinate System is set to: "No" in FBX writer.Do you have any idea why is like that? I am marking Mr. @takashi as I assume that You was the creator of the BoundsFitter. Lamp after BoundsFitter in FME:Lamp after BoundsFitter in Autodesk:  Settings of BoundsFitter: 

I've had great and amazing success translating objects into the model space of an Autocad drawing but I've been asked to also setup the paper space. Does FME support creating new paper spaces and inserting the viewports?I have information for where the viewports should point to in model space and the paper space can be easily defined with a block and standard page size so I don't have to get FME to generate any layout information, just insert the relevent objects into the file.

Hello - I'm trying to create a polygon from co-ordinates received from an API call. The response body containing the co-ordinates is attached. The response can include shells and holes and I would like to be able to create both of these features if required (the attached example doesn't include shells but we will encounter these in future use).I think the response form the API is JSON and the workbench I've built to call the API is storing this response in an attribute ('_response_body').I'm really not sure how I can turn these co-ordinates into a polygon and I would be so grateful for any help.Thanks in advance and all the best,Matt

There is no Powerpoint reader in FME, but is it still somehow possible to replace background and/or color/styling on existing powerpoints on several Powerpoint-files by using FME?

Anyone that has successfully implement it please share.I read from CrateDB that it contains support for the PostgreSQL wire protocol v3.

Hi there, I am using AGOL writer to insert the data into a feature layer. I noticed that whenever I ran the transformation, it insert the data into a feature layer. I wanted to set AGOL writer in such a way that when I run the transformation, it deletes the existing data and insert the new one. Could anyone guide how to do that? Please note that the data on FME transformation does not have OBJECT_ID attribute.

Hello to the masters of FME. I am a new user. and I have a question that I can’t find the answer to, I really hope for the help and support of the community. I'm trying to create the correct cesium tiles, but in the sea of information I found only two parameters that I can not make work.The first parameter is cesium priority, following the description https://knowledge.safe.com/answers/48967/view.html I created a test scene and could not achieve this parameter.the second parameter was found in this answer https://knowledge.safe.com/answers/77990/view.html it, due to my meager knowledge, I could not even realize how this should work.Third, when creating cesium tiles, it is possible to control only the number of individual objects in a single file. And in tiles, objects are collected not in a limited uniform area, but in some pieces. How is it possible to control all these parameters without losing the individuality of objects?Maybe someone can present a compiled example in one place

Hi,    We are writing to a new geodatabase with FME 2013. This geodatabase has already a schema without any records.    Geodatabase Error (-2147220987): The user does not have permission to execute the operation. FileGDB Writer: A feature could not be written.   Has anyone experienced this error before.  It is strange, we are able to write some features but some other give this error.    Thanks,    Jo

Hi,  I have one excel file containing following columns: - feature_type --> defines output file - attribute_name --> defines the attribute name - attribute_data_type --> defines the attribute data type - geometry_type --> defines the output geometry type - order --> defines the attribute order  I now want to create a set of output files based on the feature_type. If the field geometry_type is filled, a shapefile should be created. In all other cases a dbf table. Attributes should be created based on the fields attribute_name and attribute_data_type.  Aim is to have all work done in the input excel file and minimum of manipulations in the workspace. I only want to create empty files that will be filled later by an operator manually.  Any ideas on this? Rob 

Hi,I want to perform spatial operation (point in polygon) using Spatial Relator. Point dataset has 30 millions of records. I have used Oracle spatial reader to read the dataset. But After reading nearly 15 millions of records , fme job was failed with error.

Hello,   I want to create an excel file for each customer, within each file, you can find information regarding this customer. I use therefore the fanout option in the writer. However, I have two tabs that I want to change in Excel, so I tried using 2 writers (one for each tabs), with the same name output name on the same location but fme does not seem to be able to see that these tabs need to be merged in 1 file (th name I put in the fanout). This results in 2 files in the output, and because they have the same name, one file is not exported as Excel.  Is there a possibility in fme to export two multiple tabs, when using fanout?

The google writer has the path its going to write to... How do I see the path (URL) it is going to use to write a google sheet?

I'm using the 3DTiles writer to export our entire city model in order to use it in Cesium.In 3D TIles, there is the possibility to have different evel of details in order to improve the viewing performances. Is there any plan at Safe to implement this feature?Thanks for your answer.

I'm attempting to update a ArcGIS Portal feature service using the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service in Dynamic mode and after the workbench finishes the original features remain unchanged. I'm expecting to see the features locations shifted slightly, various attribute values changed and my user account name in the last_edited_user attribute with today's date in the last_edited_date, but I see none of these.My workflow includes...Reading features from a ArcGIS Portal feature service with a FeatureReaderJoining each feature with it's schema via the Schema port plus a FeatureMerger joining on fme_feature_type and fme_feature_type_name Also reading the schema in via the Workspace Resources, which I believe will work better for what I'm trying to achieveMaking requested changes to the dataEnsuring all attribute names are lowercase to match the feature serviceWriting the revised features using the ArcGIS Portal Feature Service writer in Dynamic mode and these settings...Laye

Hello,I have one point cloud tile with extents, for example, of min (0,0) and max (1000, 1000).I want to make a DEM from this point cloud, which seems pretty straightforward, but it isn't.If I want a raster with a 1x1 cell size, the RasterDEMGenerator makes a DEM that has 1001x1001 pixels and extent min (-0.5,-0.5) max (1000.5,1000.5). The main problem is, that the values of the bounding pixels are not ok, as half of the pixel surface does not have corresponding points.Is it anyhow possible to define that I simply want a DEM between 0,0 and 1000, 1000 (original point cloud extent) with cell size 1x1?From my point of view, it just doesn't make sense to implement a "point cloud to DEM" solution that always takes half of a pixel size larger extent than the original point cloud extent, which is, of course, empty (without points). I know how it works; the algorithm places the center of the left lowest DEM cell to the point of min extent of the input point cloud, and this

(FME 2019.2.1.0, WIN64)Hi,I have a raster DSM of max tree heights (max elevation heights over eucalypt forest). I would like to place a point on the top of each tree (max z value). The trees are not pointed like pine trees but have rounded tops.I have attempted to use RasterSegmenter (water shed) with limited success, by using RankCalculator with group on each water shed polygon, and then filtering with rank =1 (1 being the highest ranked pixel in each group). But this relies on the water shed being applied correctly.I have converted the raster to a point cloud using GeometryCoercer, I can see in a 3D point cloud viewer the tree tops, but I do not know how to go about finding the max z value for each clump of points that represent a tree.Is it possible to do something like this?Ben

Hi all,Is there a way to read a select - query (with geometry) with the "Intergraph GeomMedia Access Warehouse" reader like with the "Microsoft Access" reader?

Hi,I'm currently using FME 2017.1 Smallword Edition.

The image is how I want to tile my dataset.Here's the Collada data.http://bit.ly/2DhOxIDIs there any solution?How to create 3D-Tile data in popular way?If anyone knows the answer, please let me know.Thank you very muchPA

I found an article about "insert images into an Excel spreadsheet" (https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/33588/writing-images-to-ms-excel-spreadsheets.html), this article was made with FME desktop 2016. I was wondering of it is possible to do the same action with fme desktop 2015? In fme desktop 2015 the "attributemanager" is not available, so i as wondering which transformers to use in fme desktop 2015 to make the same actions as with the "attributemanager" in the article!I hope anyone can help me!Peter
