I have a model in .FBX format and I want to convert it to .GLTF format. When I do this in FME under generate workspace, I can go straight from ,fbx to .gltf. However, the final .gltf model loses some texture. In my case, the vehicle structure is there but details such as the windows are all missing. Would appreciate some advice. Thank you.

Hi, I am generating dwg files in FME with the symbols from a DWG template. The file opens correct in Autocad but when using x ref they ends up with an offset.Do I have set coordinate sytem, origo etc in the template or is it something I can do in FME? Thanks Henrik

We used FME Server 2017.1 and this week we upgraded to FME 2019.1.1Today i found out the DatabaseUpdater with ArcSDE Geodb deletes the Geometry when you want to update a Table Column with a value from an non Spatial source.We had some Workspaces with 2017.1 and it worked fine there. For example one of productive workspace is a non-spatial-oracle database table, which updates a ArcGIS Featureclass in a MSSQL SDE.I restored the Backup for Server 2019.1. The workspace ran over night and the next day i found out, the data is broken because the geometry is removed.I tested it and found out it is the DatabaseUpdater Transformer with ArcSDE Geodb Parameter.I changed the format to mssql in the DatabaseUpdater, this works fine.I also can reproduce this with a brandnew Workspace, wich was made with FME2019.1.It doesnt matter where the non-spatial-value comes from, i made workspace with different readers(excel, text,csv, and so on) it will delete the geometry when you use a DatabaseUpdater with A

I have a SharePoint list that displays local datetime from many different local time zones, this is the datetime required. The reader returns datetime fields in UTC only. The time offset could be 6 to 8 hours. I have no way to know what local timezone the records was entered in, thus I cannot determine what the time offset should be. Is there a way to read the displayed datetime, not UTC?For example, two records with different time offsetsSharepointValue read by FMEFormattedOffset9/14/2019 21:0020190915030000+00 9/15/2019 3:306 hours2/14/2019 21:5520190215045500+002019/02/15 4:557 hoursThanks in advance,Kathy

I am building a process flow that moves data from point A to B. I noticed the ODBC reader has faster speed over SQL Executor. The challenge is the ODBC reader doesn't have inputs as incoming initiator like SQL Executor. Is there a way that I can use tow ODBC readers one execute after the other receiving inputs?

I Have a dwg file. I need split that into multiple dwg based on the used autocad layer.

I have a workbench that I regularly use to read from an Oracle Locator database and write to an ESRI file geodatabase. It writes about 55 feature classes to this geodatabase (approximately 8 million features total) and takes about 90 minutes to complete. I have just had an SDE made available to me so I made a copy of my original file gdb workbench and have been changing it to write to the SDE instead. The problem I'm having is the workbench now writes extremely slowly; it took 90 minutes to write a single feature class with 168,000 features in it (at that rate I estimate it would take two or three days to write all 8 million features to the SDE). Has anybody experienced anything like this or have any idea what I can do to speed it up? If it makes a difference I believe the SDE is running on some version of SQL Server. Thanks,Mike

Is there a practicable way in FME to extract 3D objects or solids (indoors and/or outdoors) from point clouds?I found posts back from 2015, lots of feature requests and ideas. What's "State of the Art"?Inside / outside of FME... (conc. Revit but also other data models)Bye, Marion

Hi, I have a question about FME desktop 64 bit. Will be possible in the future integrate FME desktop to ArcGIS PRO like for 32 bit version into ArcGIS desktop? The reason is that ArcGIS desktop is stopping slowly supported and if you would use ArcGIS interoperability you have to pay another licence. The basic functions which allows FME integration in to ArcGIS desktop are great and I would have them also in ArcGIS PRO.Thanks,Miloš

We have just installed FME Server on a local server using the express option but did not see any settings for the Postgres database?Is there a way to find out the login / connection details for the Postgres Database?Is it automatically set-up for PostGIS?

I'm insert:Writer FileGDB (ArcObjects)Set Feature Class to fme_feature_typeDuplicate the OutputIn the navigator is only one Feature Type visible. In FME 2016 there are two. FME 2017 ignore the second output.It's a bug?

Hello there is there a way we could trigger a workspace as soon as a record is added to google sheetThanks

I have set up a file geodatabase reader (ArcObjects) and pointed it to read one feature class in a file geodatabase. The feature class has 50 features. When I run the process, it reads 100 features. I tried deleting one feature from the feature class, and now it reads 99 features, while ArcCatalog shows only 49 features in the feature class. This issue has not been consistent -- sometimes if I change the settings of another file geodatabase reader (pointed at a different file geodatabase) in the workspace, the problematic reader will only read 50 features. I am trying to use dynamic inputs, passed to the reader from a scripted parameter. Why is this happening, and is there an easy solution? I am using FME through ArcGIS's Data Interoperability extension, version 10.5. It is FME version 2017.0.0.1 (20170316 - Build 17271 - WIN32) and at this time upgrading is not an option for me.

I'm having difficulty accessing data with a WFS reader. I can read the feature types, and the translation is 'successful', but returns 0 features. I can load the WFS in QGIS too. I've tried amending various parameters without success, including: connection timeout length, max features, ignore application schema (this worked with the previous version of the WFS), and using a search envelope. The WFS is: https://environment.data.gov.uk/spatialdata/historic-flood-map/wfsWould really appreciate if anyone can nudge me in the right direction!  

Hello again.I'm using several translations involving HTTPCallers and other transformers -- all of which work successfully with FeatureWriters saving to ESRI Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API) feature classes. I'm running into a problem saving to ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb), however, where the translation never completes, and the log ends with the following:Successfully imported schemaImportError: No module named siteThis seems to be Python-related from what I have found, even though I do not use the PythonCaller or anything Python-related in my workspace. I can't seem to find a similar problem to mine.Yesterday I installed Python 3.6, which I assumed may be causing this. So I uninstalled it and made sure Python 2.7 was still present (it is). The Python interpreter preferences in FME still point to Python 2.7. I tried changing those to 3.6 to match the version I had previously installed, which did not help.I had complete success with one translation, but all others have the same symp

Hello FME Community!  I´m looking to read AutoCAD Civil 3D files from a folder and convert them to another version ex Release2013 into another folder.  I´ve understood that you should use write AutoCAD DWG/DWF, since there is no Civil 3D writer. However you can´t select a folder to write to, only specific file destination? Is there another way around this?  I tried taking another route, by using "Fanout Dataset" on the Writer. Which kinda solved the folder issue, but the created file got the same result as below.   Also.. When I simply try to overwrite an identical dwg file with another dwg file to get the desired version, the new file lose everything that was in it and instead only gets a layer named surface. Does anyone know how to resolve this?  I simply want to copy dwg files and write them identically into a new folder, but in version Release 2013/AC1027.  Any form of hint is greatly appreciated!

Hello,I am trying to open IFC 2X3 files of 2MB size that have been exported from Aecosim and FME 2019.0 returns an error. or returns only the semantics of the IFC.I am able to open successfully other IFC files that were created some months ago, so this is quite unexpected considering I have not changed the parameters that I was always using. As I suspect this is quite an abstract question and testing with the model would be necessary, would it possible for a colleague of FME to assist due to data confidentiality issues?Of course, any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. Kind regards, George Floros

Hi, I have hit the maximum row limit for an excel spreadsheet with the excel output writer (1,048,576 rows). Is there an easy option to overflow the rows into another spreadsheet?Should I use a row counter and tester to overflow the data to another spreadsheet?

I am fairly new to FME and I am attempting some of my first translations from SHP files to Oracle Spatial Tables. Everything completes successfully apart from the following errors I get several times through the translation:BADNEWS: An error occurred while fetching from query `SELECT table_name, column_name, DimInfo, SRID FROM USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA' : OCI_NO_DATA (ocistmt.cpp:663)I get additional errors when publishing after writing the features to the DB:118904) Invalid geometry for component view V_STREETCTR_LN, FID 104594211, CID 1, and LTT_ID 0 - No geometry was produced, probably because of a mismatch of G3E_COMPONENT.G3E_GEOMETRYTYPE and the actual geometry, or because of an un-supported SDO_GType.I have tried this across multiple features and run into the same problems each time.Has anyone run into these issues translating from SHP to Oracle using FME?Sample Workspace:Log:

I am using LDAP/Active Directory (Tech Preview) Transformer to access users for an entire organisation. When I use DN as ou=Users,ou=branchname, ou=departmentname,ou=Department,DC=domain,dc=domainname=ca, i get users listed from that branch only. However, I am interested in pulling out users from the whole organization which has many departments and branches. Any help is appreciated.
