Hello FME guru's! I'm looking for a way to seperate a single page pdf with multiple layers so I can input a reduced raster dataset into Potrace to improve the vectorising results. Can anyone point me in the right direction?Pdf example here:

I am a new user to FME, I followed the Revit to Sketchup tutorial, but I am getting an errorISO10303-21: Unknown entity or type name 'ÐÏ'.ISO10303-21: Invalid file format, unable to continue readingA fatal error has occurred.

When running the sheduled job in FME Server, we are encountering this error from time to time. Today, FME Server 2016 cannot connect to ArcGIS Online.ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '403' and the message was: 'You do not have permissions to access this resource or perform this operation.'. Details: 'However, I tried running this in ArcGIS Desktop 2017.1 and it was able to connect and write the features to ArcGIS Online. I'm using the same ArcGIS Online account for both.

Hi all, I'm trying to query an API and convert a json file which contains nested geojson as a trip route. My final output is going to be a shapefile or feature class ESRI. I'd like to have each "route" associated with the trip_id, duration, distance etc.here is the response below, each route is a series of point files, I'm thinking I need to convert this to some sort of line to make this work. Any ideas? what I have so far:

Hi all,   I would like to building facade texturing from images.I've WallSurfaces and RoofSurfaces.But each WallSurfaces has own image jpeg file.And there are so many surfaces and images (~ 2000 maybe much more) .So how can i match between the surfaces and images?.How can i follow the right path? Could you help with this case?   Thanks and Regards  

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 very blur and not-LOD model that cannot be used at all. If we manually pick

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?

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?

Hello,I created a model view definition for IFC files. I exported it as XML and would like to apply the rules that I defined in the model view definition to an IFC file. I would like to filter an IFC file to include only the information that i described in my XML. What would be the best way to approach this topic?Best regardsTobias
