Data

I have 2 input files. One is point cloud, and the other one is the CityGML. In the CityGML, I have the roof surface (polygons), and for point could, I have all the points just above the roof. I wanted to measure the (vertical) distance from roof to each point.I firstly used the SurfaceDraper to drape the points onto the roof, then measure the distance between the draped point and the original points. But it didn't work by SurfaceDraper. Then I wanted to create lines between every initial points and the points on the ground(I set the points' z value to 0). I wanted to use 3DLineOnDTMIntersector to the points on the roof surface with which I can measure the distance.However, I can't even connect the points in point cloud with the points on the ground to make these lines. I tried PointConnect but it can't make separated lines.. Is there any other transformers that can help?Thanks in advance.

Hi all!I've got a point cloud file of an area, and citygml file of this area as well. In the citygml file, I have the roof surface as polygons. Now I am connecting the points in the point cloud with the polygons of the roof surface. I tried several transformers, such as PointOnAreaOverlayer, Interjector, and now SpatialFilter. But as you can see in the below snapshot, the filters are rejected at the first place. I tried to add a BoundingBoxReplacer to my roof surface before the SpatialFilter. But still it didn't work.Thanks in advance.

As a newbie with FME I started with the tutorial BIM to GIS (basic).I used the tutorial field, added my reader and tried to match it in the workspace to the source IFC. However, my IFC (exported from Revit) has very few feature format attributes when the IFC tutorial source has a long list, and the attribute selected in the Tutorial source does not appear in my IFC source.Where does the feature format attribute come from? Is it from the revit IFC exporter, or does it depends from my revit model?Thanks

I am currently running Microstation V8i and all the cells I use have priority information. However, I am running FME 2013 and when I insert a cell, the priorities I have created for them are overwritten with 0 as their priority. Do the newer version of FME recognize the cell priority within a cell object or is there some other way, possibly an igds formatter that I can install that assigns a priority to objects when written into microstation?

I have many (about 20000)xyz files with Schema x (coord) y (coord) z (relative height) and no header. My output should be a gdb with geodb_points geometry.In my workbench I use csvReader so far. Then I use geometrieFilter Transformer. To read all the thounds of files I use a workspacerunner in an different workbench with the PATH reader. result is a gdb with 1000 feature classes. So now I have almost transformed 2/3 of my data (when I saw that huge disc space and stopped to improve workbench) but recognised that fme imported tables instead of feature classes (I guess in case of "wait for job to complete"=no at workspacerunner) .To save disc space I decided to delete attributes (only one left: height) and work with 2DForcer.My question ist now: how can I improve processing time? Using a different reader? Mark Ireland wrote there: http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/54558/huge-... that xyzReader is much faster than csvReader. If I use xyzpointcloudReader I cannot use x y an

I see that ElasticSearch is now supported in FME 2016.1. Is it also supported in FME Server? If so, what version?

Hi, I want to convert KML containing placemarks to CSV, e.g.:<Placemark> <styleUrl>#msn_placemark_circle122</styleUrl> <ExtendedData> <SchemaData schemaUrl="#S_mdm_centroids_BB_SSDDSII"> <SimpleData name="MDM_ID">DE-BB-304102</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="MDM_NAME">Walsleben</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="MDM_lat">52.9507</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="MDM_long">12.66</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="MDM_Direction">SE</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="MDM_CAPACITY">11</SimpleData> <SimpleData name="Import_Type">1</SimpleData> </SchemaData> </ExtendedData> <Point> <coordinates>12.66021255820746,52.95028030420562,0</coordinates> </Point> </Placemark> The output contains all SimpleData but not the actual point coordinates.

I need to evaluate the color of each individual cell of a geotiff. I splitted the geotiff into it's cells using the RasterTiler with CellSize 1,1 and it seems to work. I do now just need to access the color of each cell and to test for it. I tried to do it using the Tester, but it seems that it doesn't work.

I have a point POI (Points of Interest) feature class. I need to calculate X and Y coordinates (Lat\\Long ) in a FME workbench process. How do I do this with FME workbench ?    Can someone help me to model this or any other direct converter   (Feature class has [shape] field.)

Is it possible to write transparent 3D objects to PDF?  I'm trying to create a transparent 3D water level on a 3D surface map, and am using the PDFStyler to give the water level a Fill Opacity of 0.4.  However, when it is written to the PDF, the water is a solid colour with no transparency at all. When I try to output the same thing to a 2D Geospatial PDF, the transparency works correctly.  Is this a limitation of FME's 3D PDF writer, or is there a way to do it?  Thanks

I am using the Esri Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) writer and unlike the Oracle writer, there is no Writer Mode dropdown so I can select DELETE. How do I delete records from a geodatabase?Thanks

Hello!Is it possible to set only once the vertical text alignment (and put the fields in bold at the same time) for all the fields in my writer for an Excel file?If I have 20 fields, I would like to be able to do it only one time. I don't want to use a template each time.Thanks!

Hello everyone, I have an excel spreadsheet shows run, pull out and pick up and so on. There is one pull out and many pick up rows for each run. I want to keep only two records of each run; Pull out and the very first pick up. Is there any way to trim not required data? Here is the screenshot of spreadsheet:Thank you.Goraya

I've got a longer workflow which downloads and processes data triggered by change in a webservice. As of now FME Server runs automatically and creates an FGDB-ouput. Since I've also got a map series in ArcMap which I use to produce PDF-maps based on the data created by FME, I'd like to automate the whole workflow.Is there any best practice on how I can trigger this through FME?

Hello FME experts,Is there a way to read an Excel table containing file paths (100's of them) and load the data into a workbench?I would like to open the MapInfo TAB files to know the projection parameters and list them in the spreadsheet.Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Thiru

I am in the process of developing a java based reader/writer for a custom data format. That data format is a single file containing records of different data types. I have implemented the readSchema() method in the reader and the information is also retrieved by FME when the reader is added. However, only one feature type (the last type reported by readSchema()) is added to the list of feature types and the workspace. When the feature types are extracted by adding a new writer with the option "Extract from dataset...", all feature types are successfully extracted and added to the workspace.Is there anything special that is needed in either the code or the metafile to enable that functionality for the reader? I can see from the spatialite reader, that it is possible after all but currently i have no idea what controls that behavior.

I was loading a set of LAS files to process through the RASTERDEMGENERATOR transformer and kept receiving an error which would stop my workbench "Either all points are linear or initial set of points did not consist of 3 non NAN elevations". After scouring the log file I noticed some of the las files being read contained no points. Once I manually identified those las files the processing went on with out a hitch. My question is how can I test incoming LAS files so they will filter out files with no points in them?

I have a folder that contains all the excel files I need to parse. I need a way to combine all the workbook files and work sheets and parse the data into a new workbook in a table format. Can FME do this?

Hi,I have used FME 2015 to transfer data from shape, mapinfo file, etc. to postgis and everything was correct.. Now with FME 2016 nothing is correct.. In Postgis I get the type of geometry (geom (geometry)).. But i want to have it like before geom (point), or geom (Linestring), etc. Is-that possible?Thanks
