Data

Fellow FME programmers. I have a large LAS and a DGN file that goes with it, is there a way to generate a clipped LAS file on the basis of a subset of features in the DGN ? I know I can overlay and view it, but I need to clip and produce a subset LAS file.

A question for the developers, I suppose:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/41002/arcgis-online-rollback-on-failure-parameter.html

Right now it looks like I can write into "Esri ArcGIS Portal Feature Service" but I want to use this functionality on a hosted feature layer without involving portal in the mix, can we get a direct connector to write into a feature service?

It seems that the default behaviour for FME writers is to NOT write any records if an error is encountered, is that case? I want my writer to write the records that are good UNTIL the error occurs. This is for the Oracle Spatial writer, the SQL Server Spatial writer, and the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer. Is it possible?Thanks

Hi,I am facing a problem while writing into a csv.file:FME converts the string '2-4' into 02.Apr., no matter what field type is set.E.g. '17-19' remains as it is since it cannot be changed to a date Format.Is there any smart Workaround or do I have to avoid/replace these strings?

Is there any way to have the Excel Reader read the contents of a shared workbook?

Hello everyone,  I've got a few AutoCAD blocks saved as Blocks.dwg (e.g. with the different blocks named "Block1" and "Block2"). Furthermore I've got some points out of a shape file.  Now I want to export the shape file as a dwg file and set "Block1" on some points with an attributive filter and "Block 2" on some other points.  My first idea was to read in the shape file, create a DWG writer, use the Blocks.dwg as Template File and fill the attribute autocad_block_name of the points with "Block1" or "Block2". That does not really work. Have you got ideas or hints to realize that.  Best regards, Felix

Hi all,I have dwg file exported from 12d Model. I need to match layers from exported file with template layers that we use.For example exported layer named X-SURVEYFENCE is a polyline and it has defined style, colour and line weight. It has to be renamed to layer Z-FENCE with settings, that are already predefined in template (eg. surveydata.dwt).If you have any experience in cad-cad transformation please assist me in resolving this issue.Regards,Maksym

Hello. Is it possible to change the name of the logfile a workbench writes by using a workbench in batchmode?Regards Eduard

I have a workspace with an Excel Reader and I want to change it to read a new version of the file. I can run the workspace with the new file and features are read in, but the resulting output contains blank values. How can I fix this?

We are using FME Workbench 2016. Reading a table with land parcels in Oracle Spatial and want to create a dgn V8 with them, the single polygons look right. Also the objects with two polygons where one is defined as hole are correct in the dgn. But the land parcels which where split in two objects by a road for example are divided into two different objects. How can I force the writer to create a single object with two polygons from one object in the database? The "features written" summary shows 20 objects written (database count, correct). Microstation tells me there are 24 elements on this level, because 4 obejcts are now split int two different polygon.

I wonder if anyone has used the Python Caller transformer to create an ESRI feature layer using ArcPY or ArcRest to publish the feature layer in AGOL, Portal or ArcGIS server. I'd be interested to work together with anyone who has a use case for this. With Portal or AGOL writer I could create a feature service but I want my service to be rendered with the appropriate layer properties so all the user need to do is add the feature layer on a web map in Portal or AGOL. An appropriate SD file created from an MXD or lyr file would be necessary to store the layer properties.Per FME documentation: AGOL writer layer creation is not supported.

Hi,I'm writing data to a MySQL (non-spatial) database and have some problems getting datetime fields filled. Checking a sample table in phpMyAdmin shows the date format to be ^Y-^m-^d ^H:^M:^S, e.g. 2017-02-28 13:09:00, so I've set up my TimeStamper to output that. But when I write to the database it fails every feature with a message saying it's an invalid format.If I enter the same value directly through phpMyAdmin it's accepted.Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,Is it possible to autoconnect or bulk connect readers to writers?I could choose "copy from reader" option for attributes but I would be happy if I haven't to link my 139 tables by hand!If you have a trick to easy lowercase all schema and table names it would be be so great!

I am working on a dwg drawing containing all the traffic lines in a city and markings that are on the roads. There is a layer for each type of line or objects (Stop and yield markings for example). The problem with the DWG is that the lines are just drawn with a polyline and contain a custom linetype that gives it the look of shark's teeth but in fact are not single object. The end result should visually be the same but instead of a polyline all teeth's should be block references. I use an free autocad pluguin mea+ to replace these lines with block references but this is quite a time consuming job in autocad.Command: mea+Measure with Points/Blocks/Lines/Selection ? <P>: bBlock to insert to Measure path: blok_5010Scale for Blocks, or Graphic for symbol scaled to drawing <1>: 1Blocks rotation, or Aligned with path or Relative angle to path [angle/A/R] <A>:Layer for Blocks, or Current, or Same as selected path <Current>: BLOK_5010Enter length of segment: 1Standard

I have been given 2 las files. One for ground points, and one for Surface points. I would like to combine the files into one in order to utilize the lidar classes for presentation purposes.

Hello Team,I`m try to take a screenshot from a Webpage with FME, but i didn`t find a transformer that make this.The website: http://www.ipmet.unesp.br/index2.php?menu_esq1=&abre;=tempo/boletimdotempo.htmlScreen that i want:Thanks in Advance,

Hi,Does FME support direct reading from other package formats apart from ZIP ?Cheers

Hi all,I have a workspace that uses a FeatureReader to pull data from a WFS. This works perfectly well in FME 2015.1 32-bit (build 15575). However, in FME 2016.1 32-bit (build 16609), the same FeatureReader fails with the following message:2017-02-24 11:32:16|   3.3|  0.0|ERROR |<ows:ExceptionReport xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema=" xmlns:ows="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1=" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance=" version="2.0.0=" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/ows/1.1 http://geodata.nationaalgeoregister.nl/schemas/ows/1.1.0/owsAll.xsd=">  <ows:Exception exceptionCode="NoApplicableCode=">    <ows:ExceptionText>org.eclipse.emf.common.util.BasicEList$BasicIndexOutOfBoundsException: index=0, size=0index=0, size=0</ows:ExceptionText>  </ows:Exception></ows:ExceptionReport>2017-02-24 11:32:16|   3.3|  0.0|ERROR |Received error report: ExceptionReport2017-02-24 11:32:16|   3.3|  0.0|ERROR |The XML Module halted on err

Hello,I am trying out how IfcSpace elements in Building Information Models can be transformed to 3D geometry in PostGIS. I have made a simple building model in Revit in which a few spaces are defined. The model is exported to an IFC file. When I open the IFC file in an IFC viewer (Solibri) I see the spaces and they can be drawn on screen as 3D geometries. So somehow it is possible to derive 3D geometries from the IFC file. However, if I do a (default) translation from the IFC file to PostGIS, I see no geometry for the spaces being created. All space have the same geometry value (in WKT): GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION(GEOMETRYCOLLECTION EMPTY)).Is it possible to transform IfcSpaces to 3D geometries or even 2D geometries in FME?
