Hi I'm trying to use FME to create cesium 3D Tiles tileset of buildings, including attributes. In the specification of b3dm format, it's done using property named batchID, witch makes it possible to assign verticies to defined batchID and assign attributes to it. It makes it possible to have single model with many buildings to have good performance, and still have possibility to read properties of individual buildings. In my workspace i have properly defined buildings and i can see, that in the inspector thay are viewed correctly. Each building is separate from others, and has its own properties. However, after exporting to Cesium 3D Tiles, the models are combined and entire tile has properties from first object in tile. Are there any extra steps needed to make it work? Do i need to define batchID manually?

I'm trying to use an ArcGIS Server Feature Service reader to pull data from feature services on a Server running 10.3 and write to an SDE using the Esri Geodatabase ArcSDE Geodb writer. I have a workspace that was created in FME Workbench 2016, where it still runs fine. I'm trying to run it in Workbench 2018.1 and I am getting Python errors stating that one of the modules is missing an attribute:" Python Exception <AttributeError>: module 'html5lib.treebuilders' has no attribute '_base'Could not create Python Reader `ARCGISFEATURES' "I upgraded to Pro 2.2.1 and have the workspace set to use Pro 2.1/2.2 Python (3.6). I'm assuming that since I have 2018.1 and Pro 2.2.1, they should be compatible and all the Python libraries should be up to date. I've tried updating the reader, and I get the same error and it won't update. I've also tried digging into the Python files and finding that module, a

I want to write an ifc file where all objects get a guid from the source.In my source dataset (rooms) there is already a primary key (in guid format). I want to keep this key in the exported objects (IfcSpace). I have tried to set different attributes with this value (ifc_id, ifc_unique_id, GlobalId), but the ifc writer always generates a new guid for each object.How can I arrive to export an already existing guid for each object?

Hello All We are converting some City GML 3D models in Esri Shape format. During the process we receive an error message : DBF Writer: DBF file exceeds maximum size of 2 GBError running translation.Any solution is very much appriciated

HelloINSPIRE GML writer has a parameter to set "Maximum Decimal Places: ...." CityGML writer doesn't seem to have this setting.Is there a way to somehow limit the decimal places in the coordinates of CityGML output ?This is a requirement in Germany and I don't see how I can achieve this in an easy way ...ThanksMichael

My aim is to get a nice DEM out of my severeal xyz files. I was hoping to be able to generalize the files and save some time when running the RasterDEMgenerator . Any ideas for doing so? I have tried e.g PointCloudThinner and Generalizer but they dont seem to accept my input.

As soon as I try to fan out data to windows folders the KMLStyler no longer works. I expect the "Style" feature is no longer written to the KML file at all. I have no idea how to fix this. I have a simple example which works when I remove fan out. I fan out to a folder based on an attribute in a clipper and create a kml in that folder with the a name using fme_feature_type. Thanks in advance, Ian

I have a workflow that needs to bring data from an ESRI geodatabase, do some standard transforms, run a complex Excel model, and summarise in a final Excel output. Clearly FME will write to the model input sheet. But can I get FME to run the model as if it was a transformer, then pull the results out to the final summary? Thank you.

About possibility in FME Workbench to write in Microstation DGN XFM format, linear elements (polylines) with attributes for a dataset that have lines with elements but other format not supported by Microstation. I need to be able to see in Microstation Bentley Map the polylines and their attributes. Currently, I have the lines and their attributes in MS access format for Geomedia and ESRI and would be great to be able to export them in DGN with XFM attributes. DO you have any advise on that? Thank you! Lavinia

There is a Reader from DGN8XFM files, dgn with attributes linked to elements, but no writer to be able to obtain a DGN file with attributes to graphical elements? How to create a FME schema that writes DGN file with XFM attributes?

In the next few months we will be migrating from an FME Cloud instance (2018.1) on Linux to Windows Server 2016 and I haven't been able to locate any information on the proper way to migrate this. Trying to get a game plan together before we attempt this. We will still have the FME Cloud instance running while we perform the migration. Will the FME Cloud backups work with the FME Server on the Windows server platform?  If anybody could point me in the right direction, or have any useful links, that would be much appreciated. All I can find is migrating from FME Server to FME Cloud information, so I wasn't sure what hurdles might be in the way in doing this the other way with different OS's.

I would like some features in PostGis database, there is one field called 'dt_desc' with the value (2018-09-04 19:00:20).But the WARN messege showed in my log: 'dt_desc' cannot be convert to timestamp, and none features is recorded.I tried change the format in FME writer to timestamp, varchar, date...but the problem continue againIn my PostGis database the format for this field is timestamp.Somebody can help me?Thank´s

How is the  status to read/write gbxml format in FME?

Hello Everyone,I have 17,000 TIFF files(~3Mb each) that I need to merge to make just one file. While I create the workbench and read the data as Single Merged Feature Type, it takes a lot of time to read the data (feature types to read) and once I run the wb, it ends up crashing or the output(zipped) is not merged. Any solution for this?

HiI have to migrate a bunch of FME scripts from PostgreSQL/PostGIS to MS SQL Server for every Reader and Writer. The straightforward way would be to just replace any Reader and Writer with its MS SQL Server version, and to modify any SQLCreators and SQLExecutors. Many days of work... Is there a more efficient way to handle this?Regards, Tobias

HiThere is this really cool writer called Generic (Any Format). I tried to use this writer to keep my scripts independently from the DBMS I'm writing into. This would enable me to switch DBMS very fast, and just to have one lean script to work with PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Oracle, or Teradata.Thing is that I make use of the parameter fme_db_operation in almost all my scripts. Some features lead to an INSERT, some trigger an UPDATE, other a DELETE.I couldn't make the Generic ( Any Format) writer to accept fme_db_operation. It always leads to an INSERT operation.How do I use the Generic ( Any Format) writer with the parameter fme_db_operation?

Hi,I am new to FME. I have asset inspection data in an Excel file and I need to produce a summary report from it. Each row in the table has a unique ID representing an asset.

Is it possible, in a translation of GIS to DWG, to insert attributed blocks and fill in its fields?

My goal is to get schema attributes to save to a csv file that I can then use to setup my feature writer user attributes. I am struggling to get anything to work.Every sql I try returns errors, I have tried sql creator and sql executor with no success.

Hi guys,i'm trying to cleaning up some historical GIS data which hasn't been well managed in the past 5-10 years. in that drive, all project related GIS data is saved in each folder which was named by the project name. what i want is to have is to have a workbench to search for shapefiles by certain texts (e.g. survey area, study area, project boundary) and write those into one feature class which have the folder name saved in one attribute table.Any suggestion?Thanks in advance :)

Hi guys just wondering what is the easiest way to write several outputs based on the attribute value of my dataset in reader.Thanks!

Anyone know if Apache Hbase will be supported by FME anytime soon?

Hi all, new in the community. Could someone please provide some advice on the above, perhaps point me something out just to get started. I'm running some searches still no clear to me how achieve it. I'm beginner FME user.I'd like to convert the GIS points in my database to DWG, whereas one given attribute of the GIS point would be within the produced CAD point as text.Many thanks in advanceAlan
