HelloI am trying to create a point cloud with a string column. The value of the component depends on the value of another component. I am using PointCloudExpressionEvaluatot but this doesn´t allow string components. I could use PointCloudComponentAdder to create string components but it doesn´t work because it creates constant strings which is not what I need.For example:If I have the following PointCloud:x|y|gid|col0|col12653000|2565400|147729036548|0|2552654000|2565400|147729036548|0|12 I´d like this outputx|y|gid|col0|col12653000|2565400|147729036548|0|2654000|2565400|147729036548|0|12Replacing 255 with empty string I am using FeatureReader and String concatenator but it´s very slow for about 200millionpoints Any help woud be appreciatedThanksOskar   

I've tried to export a las file to 3dtiles (i.e., a pnts file) with fme, but the color was missing afterward in cesium. I could not find that I can choose to include RGB or something like that. What am I doing wrong?

Hello there looking to do an inventory of all file we have in different folder and folder is there a way to know folder name subfolder name, file name file type in all our storage Thanks

Hello Everyone,I have a mesh in dwg format. The FME Geomtry is composite surface, I can coerce it to Mesh.I have a georeferenced tiff image which I want to set as appearance using the AppearanceSetter.These are the parameters I use (using both front and back side).The problem is I get the appearance on the wrong side of where I want it to be (fig1 demonstrates results, fig2 demonstrates the side I want it to be). Tried the orientor, same result. Any ideas? Thank you for your time. Kind regards, George Floros

HelloI've been working with osgb file for a while, we were using arcgis pro and the build-in fme , back then when 2.0/2.1 it was fine. Now come to 2.2 even 2.3 beta it just stop giving out the right result.Even switch to a full fme workbench the problem still exists.We are sure that the osgb file is intact and we understand that it may be more of an arcgis problem then an fme problem.We've tried to convert the osgb file to slpk, to geodatabase and to obj all failed.For slpk, it does generate an output file but can't be open or showed in neither arcgis pro nor online portal.By the way, if we use arcgis's gp tools for slpk, it crashed.  For geodatabase, there is a certain problem.We all know that a full osgb file contains many tiles and each tile contains many layers. The fme dose recognize all tiles but it automatically choose and only choose the first layer to transform. In the result we have a ver

A colleague wants to read files that have no line ending (either Windows-style CR+LF or Unix-style LF). They have fixed record lengths (100 bytes). Can FME read this type of file (I'm betting it can!)? It needs to process them in 100 byte chunks.If FME can't do it directly, is there something on the Hub e.g. this?https://hub.safe.com/transformers/filerawdatafetcher

I'm processing many xml file which can change their structure (various tagging names or position in the hierarchy). No XSD is availible. and even if I build one the new xml can have new tagging so each time I create new reader based on the all new xmls files population to verify if there is a new tagging vs old groups. Is there any agile way to setup a reader to discover new tags and add them to the reader while reading xml? I can handle new tags later in workspace but I miss the knowledge how to set xml reader to autodiscover and proces new tags by default while I start FME workspace using bat files.

Hi,I am using the Labeller transformer to label a point which will be written out to Microstation. I want the label to be displayed to the left of the point in the output Microstation DGN V8 file, but I can't find a way to set this within FME. Does anyone have any tips?I am using FME Desktop 2017.1Thanks

Hi, I am having issues connecting to a sharepoint site. I get an error 401-- Client access error.I confirmed having access via manually reviewing the site. Any pointers? or ways to trouble shoot?I am using FME 2016 or FME 2017Thanks in advanced.

I have a hexadecimal value '50C8BDA0' that I need to convert to it's text value. I have many unknown values but this is my test case. It should be '1355333024'. According to Hexed.it, it's UTF-32 bit Big Endian format. I have tried various combos of binarydecoder, textdecoder, etc. and cannot figure it out. Does someone know the right steps? Excel and Windows Calculator do it automatically the first time so I must be missing something.

Can FME write to NEPLAN?

Has anyone experience the problem with the exporting to the Cesium 3D Point Cloud format with "no creating tileset.json" file?

This seems like it should be an easy one, but I'm stumped.

hi, can some body share a transformer for using pdal library for lidar classification (using a json file as configuration).. Something like lastools transformer?thanks

I have created a mapping file to migrate Shapefile polygons into Smallworld GIS. Some of the polygons in the shapefile have coincident geometries: basically a hole within the polygon that has a shared vertex point with the outer boundary of the polygon (these are legitimate holes and I would like to preserve them upon import). When the mapping file encounters these geometries, it will not import that polygon feature. I was wondering if you had any suggestions on how to rectify?

Dear community, I've used FME before to generate building objs from CityGML files. It works perfectly. However, a caveat is, in CityGML building faces are stored as polygons, but the .obj files that FME outputs seem to triangularization these polygons into triangles. So there is redundant information. Is there any way to suppress this step to let FME output the original polygons instead? Thanks,Yuqiong

the smallworld reader is giving error in FME2018.It says "SWORLDSWAF reader: string too long" I am using 2016 and I don't take any error like this. Is there any idea to fix it?

I have about 1000 DEMs to mosaic. They are stored in various folders but I have a csv with all the file paths stored in a field. How can I read these paths and mosaic them into a single raster?

@MitaAtSafeI have been watching a YouTube presentation you did with AttributeManager. We are a mapping company and we map features directly into MicoStation in specific level names, colors, line weights and line styles. We have clients that would like us to convert those level names, colors, line weights and line styles in to their scheme. I'm hoping that your help and with AttributeManager I can build a workbench to take care of that. My thought is that I would like to build an excel spreadsheet with our scheme and cross reference to the specific clients scheme. Could you please let me know if that is possible?

I'm attempting to upload a file to a S3 bucket and getting errors even though uploading via Cloudberry Explorer has no difficulty on the same machine."Unable to execute HTTP request: Connection refused: connect"Does the S3Uploader use the Network proxy settings?I can't seem to find anything that says whether it does or not.The following looks correct (besides my little erased bits) right?

Hi Forum,Apologies if this has been posted before but speaking to the Live Chat team they were unfortunately unable to provide a detailed solution.I have a ESRI File Geodatabase containing features with attributes, Number, Address, Town. I am translating from one FGDB to another (also as a test the same FGDB) with the addition of an Attribute Manager in the middle in order to create a new field "SEARCH_ADDRESS" I create a new Attribute with the expression as follows:@Value(NUMBER), @Value(ADDRESS), @Value(TOWN).  The attribute manager accepts these as valid field expressions, however the new field does not carry over to the output Feature class. When the translation is run I get the error that there conflicting Object ID's "User field name 'OBJECTID' conflicts with a value of feature type parameter ' Object ID Field' ('OBJECTID') for table/feature class 'DELETE_TEST_OUTPUT'.

Hi Team I have had success with connecting into our ProjectWise instance using the connector (2018) and downloading files/folders. What I would like to do is to write out file properties such as Version, Description and Status (not just the output attributes that you have when you List )Has anyone had any luck with this or any ideas I could try?Thanks very much!Dominique 

My organization would like to use a gopro to take repeated images of a road and have those images mapped out as points. What is the best method to create point features from a jpeg image with GPS location metadata?
