Hi I created a workspace to evaluate if a point is inside a polygon, the workspace looks:The first input is an Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service I'm loading the polygons from a Feature service, the second input is a csv file with a list of points. The workspace is working as expected, PointOnAreaOverlayer is detecting is the points are inside any polygon.Now, my goal is to sent the points from another application to the workflow (can be to a rest endpoint) and call another rest endpoint if the point is inside any polygon, additionally, I want to keep in memory the polygon list (loaded from an external arcgis feature service) and refresh the geofences list periodically (The geofences changes time to time).[More information]Basically we need:A way to send features from an external application, We have an AVL application that receive vehicle data we can forward each message receive by vehicles to FME (about 500 messages per second)We need to evaluate for every single message if the v

Hi All,I have noticed that when creating a large number of ffs files (with spatial index option on) just one fsi (index file) is created for all the ffs files. This is done via a ffs writer in a workspace.When using the ffs files is a spatial intersection, FME warns:Unable to apply native search envelope for file 'C:\\mmm_1.ffs' due to missing index file 'C:\\mmm_1.fsiSo can somebody explain to me: if this is a warning does FME actually uses the spatial index ? or is it not used and therefore a bug? should actually a index file per ffs file be created? (only seen that happens if the ffs is re-read and saved again)Cheers,Itay

@DeanAtSafeI saw your article on using KMLTourBuilder linked below. It is very helpful however I'm getting stuck creating my tour. I would like my tour to orbit over a single point. I have created a buffer around my subject point and set my tour to follow the buffer circle. This seems to work but I need to adjust my heading as I work my way around the circle. Ideally this would be a heading adjustment of thoroughly 7 roughly 51 times (360 degrees) so my camera view (heading) is always facing the middle of the circle. http://fmepedia.safe.com/articles/Samples_and_Demos/Climbing-Sydney-Harbour-Bridge-with-FME

Hi,  I cann't use the Adobe Geospatial PDF writer to output Chinese or Japanese text.  I have tried modify my font file's name and it's name show in FME's font window to non-Chinese; also flow the help's instruction to modify the fme_text_string to rich format, like "你好", and set the parameter of Writer "Text in Rich Text Format" to yes. But both failed.  If you can output some special non-English characters to PDF?  Thanks

Hi There, I recently upgraded my workspace from version 2015 64 bit to 2016 64 bit. This workspace generates a shapefile as an output. I noticed that there are differences in records count in these shapefiles. I want to know the difference between the two file shapefiles to see what changed. I was hoping that ChangeDetector transformer might do this but it show all the records as changed, curious if there is a better transformer suited for this. Thanks Jay

When I write a polygon geometry whose western edge is equivalent to -180.0, but in Spherical Mercator (-20037508.342789244), the longitude value switches signs and becomes positive. I have tried the same process, but writing to a GeoJSON file and no problem occurs.Is there any value modification occurring when features are written to the Spatialite format?I can provide a very simple workspace to replicate this if it is needed.For what it's worth, I believe this is a precision problem. Simply changing the western longitude from -20037508.342789244 to -20037508.34278924 "solves" the problem. It does however translate to changing the actually geometry because something that originally was equivalent to -180.0 is now -179.99999999999997.

How can I convert .shp to .csv and include Postal code as well as lat/long? I am able to make the conversion, but only Postal code is exposed in the .csvThe original shape file has x and y axis and is using EPSG 102015, the .csv would preferably convert to EPSG 4326 and include lat/long

Does anyone know if FME can write / read / interact with MongoDB?   

Hi All, I have 3D building model in *.shp format with LOD2. I have to apply the textures and covert that model into citygml format with attribute information. Please if any have the template share with me as well idea or suggestions also......

Hi,What is the simplest way of to create an ongoing process that will import all "recently modified" records. "recent" means all rows in source where modified date > latest "Modified date" in destination.I have millions of rows in about 10 tables.Each row has a unique ID which can be used to overwrite the destination.I am planning to copy all fields and all rows (replica).Source database: MS SQL 2008B, Destination database: MongoDB.Thank you,

Hello,I implemented a changed detection on oracle table.Now I would like to be able to create a json for each change per object. For instance, for an object where changes were detected on 5 attributs, below will be the json that I would like to obtain:{ "ATTRIBUT1": { "OLD_VALUE": "OLD1", "NEW_VALUE": "NEW1" }, "ATTRIBUT2": { "OLD_VALUE": "OLD2", "NEW_VALUE": "NEW2" }, "ATTRIBUT3": { "OLD_VALUE": "OLD3", "NEW_VALUE": "NEW3" }, "ATTRIBUT4": { "OLD_VALUE": "OLD4", "NEW_VALUE": "NEW4" }, "ATTRIBUT5": { "OLD_VALUE": "OLD5", "NEW_VALUE": "NEW5" }}How can I proceed to obtain this in fme?I was tinking of the agregator to group all the changes from the same object (based on an objectid) and then build the json but I don't know how to proceed.Please keep in mind that the number  and names of attributes will change from one object to another one.Thanks,

i have to convert CityGML to IFC ! an i get no gemetry at the end ! Why ?

Dear FME-users,  I’m creating feature classes (polygons) from NetCDF-data. Among other things I use the transformer “RasterCellCoercer”, the transformation needs so much time.  I’ve 504 input and 504 output files. The geometry is always the same, just the values of the input data are different.  Do you’ve an idea how to reduce the processing time? Maybe a predefined grid?  Thank you so much and best regards.  Konrad

I have an issue currently with lidar data and a project to calculate flood areas. The Lidar data which we have received contains reflections on the water surface (specular reflections) which cause the water surface to have elevations where there are nearby trees and vegetation. In order to create a flood senario, we will therefore not be able to use the water surfaces in the lidar data. How then will we be able to create flooding estimates in the water surface height is not reliable?

i want to import and export IFC and CItygml Data via Data interoperabilty in arcscene but i get always an ERROR, EMPTY GEOMETRY

I have to determine the direction of a closed curve (a line where start and endpoint are the same) because I want to derive a gpx in the right direction (clockwise) from the polyline. Is there a way to do this? So I want to test if the polyline has a clockwise direction and, if not, reverse the direction. I tried the Polylineanalyzer and the azimuthcalculator, but both don't give me a solution.

Hi,  I am passing records from Postgis to Smallwrold. But when it takes half an hour working template I get this error.Know the cause?   How long should the Smallworld server offline the workbench  to make it happen?  Thank You

Hi,I have insert polygons into a Sql Server server table, and for some reason polygons are converted to geometry collections polygon and or curved polygons circularstringFor this reason Geoserver and or ArcMap does not work, because it cannot view these geometry typesI have tried all the coercer and filter but cannot seem to make it an polygon and or mutli polygonrunning on SQL Server 2014, worked perfectly on 2008R2How can i force it to these 2 logical types?Rudy

Hi i want to Export LandXML Surface with boundary to PDF3D or DEM or 3DS I TRY to use a DGN for the boundary but the clipper don't look to work  Is it possible to use the Boundary inside CIVIL 3D LANDXML ? 

Hello everyone,Currently I am working on making a translation from CityGML to CAD and back. However, on the way back the attributes change drastically from the original.Original<imgeo:bronhouder>source</imgeo:bronhouder><imgeo:inOnderzoek>false</imgeo:inOnderzoek>Translated<gen:stringAttribute name="bronhouder"><gen:value>source</gen:value></gen:stringAttribute><gen:stringAttribute name="inOnderzoek"><gen:value>false</gen:value></gen:stringAttribute>Both the prefixes and the structure changes and I want them to be as similar as possible. Is there a way to do this? Enclosed you can find the fmw I use.

Hello FME users, I've added a new SDE connection in my Database Connections but my connection file path inside the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) Reader parameters is still showing my old connection file. I've already deleted it from my ArcCatalog folder. I'm having to click on the (...) button and select the new connection file. Anyone else have this issue, and any thoughts on how to get the new file path to show up?Thanks in advance. 

I want to convert citygml lod2 or 3 to ifc but it doesnt go i found no geometry , how can i do it please and why i get no geometry at the end ?

I'm am already way over my head on this on this one. I'm trying to create several hundred kml files each one showing a specific area and slowly orbiting abound that area to show a 360 view. I have created a sample kml in google earth. Please see the attached kml. I have also attached a copy saved as .txt so you can see the xml code the kml created. Is it possible to create similar kml files in FME. I have played around with the KMLTourBuilder and the KMLViewSetter but was unable to replicate. I'm not a programmer and can't wirte xml on my own but would like to somewhat automate the process so I don't have to create each one in the Google Earth UX. Any suggestions would be very appreciated. THANK YOU THANK YOU
