I need that tag because I want to move from a road to one of all buildings that are located near that road (hyperarch), if it possible and there aren't walls obv. I tried to search for hours, but I don't know in which file of my (generic) city model that tag is. Can anyone help me?
Hi, I got an error shown below when I try to add CesiumIonConnector into my workspace and authenticate to allow accesss to FME. Does anyone know how to solve it?
Apart from using a SystemCaller with a Template Zero row DBase File to File Copy/Paste, I can't see any immediate way of doing this easily in FME? The dBase Writer doesn't have a Truncate or Delete option, so the only messy way I can think of is to instead write a SHP file with illegal geometry (this Writer Hack will then create the SHP and dBase files but pass over the Features with geometry not of a type matching the SHP schema and hence output a "Zero Feature" SHP file), and then deleting all the output files except for the dBase. Any better solutions?
IFC is our default file format for working on BIM related projects. Unfortunately, Esri doesn't support a native IFC file export (yet). However, when importing an IFC file via FME into a ArcGIS Pro geodatabase, it naturally get converted into a multipatch feature where you can do all kind of attribute wizardry. However, people then request to get this modified multipatch feature back as a fully functional and valid IFC file. So my questions: 1.) what's our best option to return a multipatch feature back into an IFC file with correct attributes & geometry? Has anyone done this in FME so far and has some guidance?2.) there's this open OGC standard for indexed 3D scene layers (I3S) which result in an slpk file, when exporting the multipatch feature for web usage. Since it has open specifications, did anyone try to create a suitable converter that goes from slpk to IFC? Has anyone tried this?
Hi,I am copying a Portal hosted feature service to our internal Oracle SDE database.The relationship class is written ok and I can see that the correct attachment is associated with the parent table. However the image is not valid when I try to open it via ArcGIS Pro or ArcMap.I've read a lot of forum posts including this one but I still haven't got it working. Does anyone have an example with the last steps on how to get the downloaded attachment (binary data) into a SDE jpeg attachment that I could take a look at?Or outline the order of the transformers Binarydecoder, rasterreplacer (I see the raster in inspector, only if I use the decoder first), AttributeFileWriter (you write the file to a disk but not the database - do you use the AttributeFileReader to read it again and write to an attribute in the attachment table?) Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,Annette
Hello everyone, I'm working with the citygml model and to implement the buildings module I used the xlink_href tool. It's all right for surfaces that are not shared between buildings. For those that are shared, i need to set the surface in one of the buildings as gml: OrientableSurface and reverse the orientation. This is necessary for the surface to be drawn in the citygml viewers in both buildings. I tried to use the Orientor but it didn't work and I also tried to create an orientation attribute and set it as a trait with the GeometryPropertySetter also without success. Would anyone know how to do this?At the moment my output is as in figure1 and I would like it to be as in figure2 (I edited it manually just to illustrate). Thank you in advance for your help.

I am trying to open an IFC file from a client but I keep getting a syntax error:ISO10303-21: The input data file has a syntax error in instance '#105':syntax error, unexpected P21_TOK_STD_KEYWORD, expecting ')'ISO10303-21: Invalid file format, unable to continue readingA fatal error has occurred. Check the logfile above for detailsI looked up this element (#105) using Python ifcopenshell, and found that it is an IfcPostalAddress element. I've modified the content below so it is not the original address, but I have left in the word "États-Unis" (French for "United States), because I believe this is what is causing the syntax error."#105= IFCPOSTALADDRESS($,$,$,$,('123 Fake Street, Faketown, FS 01234 Ã\x89tats-Unis'),$,'','','','User Defined');\n"I thought I would be able to fix it by re-encoding it to utf-8 and saving it appropriately (Python snippet below):with open(out_file, "w", encoding="utf-8") as f_out: with open(in_file, encoding="latin1") as f_in: for line in f_in.read
Hey guys, I am converting an fGDB file to a Geopackage-File. The workspace in FME (2017, 32-BIT) runs successfully. If i want to view the Geopackage-File in the Data Inspector or QGIS, all is working well. But if i want to view it in ArcMap 10.3 or ArcGIS Pro through the ArcCatalog I always get the following error message: Does anybody know what could be causing this error? Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello,I'm having an issue where FeatureWriters sometimes refuse to overwrite geodatabases previously populated with features loaded from the same translation. I receive the same (or very similar) error messages as found in this thread:https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/45200/writing-esri-file-geodatabase-issue.htmlI am currently using the following Table parameters for my FeatureWriters (in several translations):Feature Operation: InsertTable Handling: Drop and CreateA solution to this problem in my case is to delete the target feature class and reload the translations, but going forward this is not viable as these translations will be running on an automated basis and my client prefers very little (if any) maintenance to files or translations and doesn't want to delete feature classes and run one or two of these manually every week.I tried using "Overwrite Feature Class" in the writer parameters, but that does not work at all. I receive an error message that the GDB is locked, even

I have a couple of thousands of DWG files. Those have object data attributes. I need to extraxt that information. Then using AutoCAD Map 3D Object Data reader, it crashes on some files and stops reading other files (see the attached error message). Then using basic AutoCAD DWG/DXF reader – everything's fine, no crashes or skipped files, but no object data info are retrieved.Maybe it is possible to skip reading bad DWGs and continue to read the other ones with Map 3D reader? Any thoughts on that would be helpful.
Hi, i have run 200 jobs on server. I need to download log files for each job. I can manually go inside each job and download log and save it. But it is very time consuming. Is there any way i can use FME Desktop code to download logs per jobId from server? Thanks. Subrat
When I convert features from a EGDB to a gpkg not all polygons are transfered coorectly. Some polygons are written as a null geometry. I am unknown with gpkg's so I guess I am doing something wrong but what? Any one has a answer to this?
In my work job, I need workspace in my cloud to be operated from my javascript web application, that converts standard Autodesk DWG files into shapefiles. The DWG coordinate system of ALL the files I have to convert, is ALWAYS EPSG:2039, even if not explicitly specified,and the coordinate system of the resulting shapefiles should be the SAME - EPSG:2039 Each DWG file contains DWG typical standard 5 layers - Annotation, Point, Polyline, Polygon, and Multipatch.Attached are 5 files - The workspace, and typical actual 4 DWG files. The DWG is displayed a little different by next ESRI desktops:By ArcMap (ArcGIS Desktop) I see the 5 layers as I describe them here - 5 layers, each with its specific attribute table. It's clear and simpls, so next description is when I see the DWG in ArcMap.By ArcGIS-Pro (and set coordinate system to "Israel TM Grid" that is EPSG:2039), then it presents the 5 DWG layers as 5 groups, where each group contains several "layers", where the

Hi everyone, really need help. I used FME to convert IFC to citygml. I imported a 3D citygml into 3Dcitymodel, and when I try to export it in KML or also in citygml again, it seems to be 2D! Why?
When running a simple Pathreader on files on a network share it runs fine . But when I choose the recursive parameter the translation just gets to "retrieve file properties 'false' " and no further progress is made The 2 warnings are :Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being recorded on all output ports. any ideas why this should happen?
I regularly have to send geodata to others outside of the company I work from.In order to send any type of data to external parties or clients, we have to upload the data to an online portal. This portal requires me to use a 2 step verification process to log in (first my company username and password, and then with an sms code send to my phone). After logging in, I'm able to upload the data to specific environments (folders) for each external party.Is it possible to automatically upload the data through FME, either through an HTTP caller, or some other method? I tried using the HTTP caller, and switched around certain settings and parameters, but so far no success.The portal used is this one, it doesn't seem to be internationally known, but I could be mistaken. The information on their website seems to be in Dutch only, sorry.https://try.msafe.nl/ (I'm using FME DEsktop 2019

Hey, we are working on ceiling grids in Revit and heard about FME can convert 2D grid objects to 3D and furthermore creat ceiling plates. Is there anyone who have worked on this before? I'm new to FME :p
Our organization upgraded from FME Desktop and Server 2019.1 to 2020.1. We have a process in which users can select an area on the map and a FME workspace will run that will export data into a cad file (dwg) and a png file putting both files in a folder. We realized that the cad file does not include the reference to the png file since the upgrade. The workspace is showing a warning that "AutoCAD Writer: Failed to write raster. Skipping feature". I am not sure why the autocad writer is failing. Has anyone else ran into this warning before? If so, what did you do to resolve it?
