Data

Hi,I want some help in the right direction with converting a DWG BIM 3D file to a DWG 3D CAD/GIS format.I cannot figure out how to simpoify the 3D-model so that only the outer lines of the 3D model remains.I want it to look like the blue line in the attached picture.Best Regards,Jonas

Hi Everyone I am new to this software and forum. I have been converting ECW files to either TIFF or KML, with the ultimate aim of overlaying these images in Google Earth. I can get the TIFF's I generate to open in MAPINFO or picture viewer, but not in Google earth. Also my KML files that I generate don't open in Google earth. I just get error messages. Help please..Kelvin

What is the best way to uninstall FME on Mac OS X?

Hi,My colleague in the Stedin bodem department is trying to read the attached xml file with FME 2017.1. I have tried unsuccessfully to read it. I cannot access the geometries.Any ideas what I am doing wrong?Or has anyone in the Netherlands already processed the data from this omgevingsdienst with FME?Thanks,Annette

Hi, I am new in FME. I have an excel file, that have a complex format, because base on Sub-Area, I have to only take certain parameters to do calculations. For example, for sub-area P01 I should get: Total cost, A+B and T+U and the same for P02. Something important to mention is that I can have several subareas and grouping the data have been a challenge for the way that the I get the data.I hope somebody can help me,  Thanks

I am trying to convert Microstation V8 geometry files to feature classes using Data Interoperability in ArcGIS 10.3. My current workflow begins with the export to LandXML files from Microstation. This gives me a file of closed geometries that are read as polylines - but the LandXML file only shows one record for each geometry. [Think a multi-sided closed figure that has one record with all of the attributes such as name but is recognized by ArcGIS as a single multi-segment polyline.] I need to be able to read this geometry as polygons and keep the attribute information. AreaBuilder eliminates the attributes and I don't think that is what is necessary since the figures are closed (within a tolerance factor). Any suggestions?

Hello, I'm struggling reading an Arc .lyr file into FME 2016. I've searched the internet for help and not found any reference to the 'problem' I’ve encountered. It is possible that FME isn't designed to do what I'm expecting it to do.

I have Shapefile lines with start and end point data attributed to them, but some of the lines got broken resulting in two lines that should be connected with start and end point data attributed for each section. I am using the Snapper and LineJoiner to connect the lines, but I am not sure how to get the correct end and start times for the full line.

Hello to All!I am new to FME and I am lost, I hope you could help me. My goal is to convert a Minecraft World to the IFC file format. The Minecraft World is very small, it is a void and has only one object. The object can be divided in 3 elements by material. I want to generate one output file with each element as an object in IFC. I also want to transfer the materials, if this is possible.As far as I understand, FME can read the Minecraft World only as a Point Cloud. I couldn't find a way to use the geometry or somehow recreate it for the IFC writer. I saw the AutoCAD to IFC conversion example, Reading Point Clouds and the How to make Minecraft worlds examples, and read the related Q&A;, but I am still struggling.I am uploading my files here: Thanks,Victoria P.S.My version of FME: FME Desktop 2017.1 Student License My version of Minecraft: 1.12.1 OS: Windows 10

I have an ARCGISONLINEFEATURES reader that correctly reads in the features from my feature service hosted on ArcGIS Online. I can successfully write the feature service to an Esri Shapefile, but I cannot write it to an Esri File Geodatabase. I get the generic error "Error running translation" and Windows returns and error message saying "FME EXE has stopped working" (though FME workbench still remains open). I have tried changing several of the writer's parameters to try and get the download working, including overwriting the database, dropping the table, specifying the exact schema, and setting the attribution definition to automatic. None of these changes have worked. I also tried downloading the File Geodatabase from ArcGIS Online directly and then having the writer simply truncate the table of the identical geodatabase I downloaded, and it still throws an error. I was able to get the workflow to process all the way through a few times, but it was never succ

I am trying to write CityGML data, which originally come from CityGML and were stored in a ESRI FileGDB.In the process I use GeometryPropertySetter and for Surfaces a SolidBuilder (Group By: gml_id)While this works well in general, I get several WARN message in the Log.In the resulting CityGML file several parts of Buildings/BuildingParts are missing.The message is:f_38(GeometryBuilderFactory): (#926007) Error encountered while copying traits to generated solids. Output will be left without traits, appearances, measures or attributes My question: What am I supposed to do about this message ? In which way can I dig into what is going wrong here ?

Hi, I am in the process of tranforming an access file to a GML file. In the FME workspace i use a database joiner transformer, so as to join two tables in the MS Access. These two tables have a One-to-many relationship and i select the option to create a new feature for each much. The target attribute in the GML writer has the following format: groupedInstallation{}.xlink_href. When i try to much the produced attribute (after the join) with this one, the matching is not possible. When i define the target attribute as follows: groupedInstallation{0}.xlink_href (with a 0 between the brackets) the matching in the GML is achieved only for one record of the attribute of the reader. Could you please let me know how i can match all the records of the attribute to the GML writer ?Thank you in advance, With best regards,Valantis @NatalieAtSafe

Hi,While translating from File Geodatabase to DGN format i am unable to get the attributes in DGN file...Help me to get the attributes in DGN file writer?Thanks in Advance.

Hi,I have an FME2017 desktop workbench where I am writing out to rasters. I don't mind which raster format I write out to (eg. GeoTiff, Esri Ascii Grid,) as long as the raster is readable in ESRI ArcGIS software. I am currently writing out to GeoTiff successfully and the three bands (R, G, B) are displaying correctly in ArcGIS. The raster only has 10 distinct combination of bands and I would like to create a new band that is based on the combination of the RGB bands and give each cell in the raster a value for this new band.I would then like to output this new band with the Raster and make the raster displayable by this band in ArcGIS.Does anyone know how to do this?Thank you in advance

Is there a way to convert a KMZ file that contains a description field to tab format, where the description field becomes a field in the tab file? I have tested readers and writers for KMZ to KML and kml to tab and Vertex creator (it would be good to have the lat/long fields listed too) and none of this quite works.

Hi, I am using FME13, trying to modify a .dwg file. The original file has lots of information written in format attributes and there are also some encoded utf-16 format attributes. I am able to expose them and transform or modify the strings but I cannot get any in the writer output file. I don't want new extra attributes so renaming the format attributes to something else wouldn't work. Is it possible to edit encoded format attributes and write them out?Thanks!

We would like to make sure that the GDB is up to date whenever updates are made to the ‘.mdb’. The database is created from ‘Acquire’, and is exported in ‘.mdb’ format.We wish to use this ‘.gbd’ as a template for ARCMap workspaces, where all the geoscientists have access to up-to-date information. Currently many geoscientists in the organization have out-of-date files they are using on their personal machines. Currently people work from their own workspaces (.mxd), where it is never known if they have access to all the pertinent files, or if the files they have in their workspaces are up-to-date. We wish to have the changing ‘.mdb’ database regularly ‘merged’ into the gdb. Additionally, other files (raster images, tenement polygons ect) are desired to be automatically updated into the ‘.gdb’ as changes occur to the master files. As long at the raster image names, along with tenement polygon shapefile/layer names remain static, I think this should not be a problem (?). I have been taske

I have approx 40 DWG files, each file contains a number of separate features - see below I merged all 40 into a single DWG file - see belowThe merged DWG file does not contain/display the individual features (G902APEX, G902BUILDING_EVES, etc)The aim is to: Merge all 40 DWG files into a single DWG, then write each feature (G902APEX) to a Shapefile with the associated tabular data.Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks,Clive

I have two sets of tables in an excel sheet. I want to pick each element from one column of one of the tables and try to find a match in another column of the other table. As soon as I find a match, I want to merge the corresponding rows. I was trying to use FeatureMerger but wasn't able to perform the task. Could you please help me out? Thank you

Does FME support federated or enterprise ArcGIS Online accounts?Thanks in advance!

I've set up a workspace with a user parameter of the type "number", which is optional, no range limitations specified This works fine on Desktop, but when I upload this to my FME Cloud that parameter is suddenly not optional:Any ideas? I'm using FME 2017, build 17280 on Desktop, 17259 on Cloud.I guess I could work around this by having it default to a value that can't possibly be a valid value and then filter on that but that seems a bit of a nasty workaround and is almost certainly going to come back and haunt me in the future.

HelloI am fairly new to 3D data handling and stumbled over the problem, that I can write 3D data to PostGIS but texture information seems to get lost.Is it generally possible ? If yes, what do I need to do ?Thanks for any hintMichael

Is this even possible? At the onset, there is a license issue involved. Is FME Plug-in SDK an option? My use case is a drone pilot needs to create a geopackage or an fgdb from pictures/videos collected during the mission and would need to do this from his laptop onsite so that he can pass on the data to a courier or deliver the data to the utility owner. I already have a workspace created with FME Desktop but it's not cost-effective to provide a license for each pilot.The next best option is to provide ESRI's Drone2Map to each pilot which will do it - costs $1200 subscription per named user. If I can develop something smaller and cheaper in FME that would be better.
