In the 3D modeled buildings, some normal vectors on the exterior walls are pointing to the right while others are pointing to the left. How can I identify and reverse the vectors that are pointing to the right, so that they all point to the left?I attached sample buildings.

I have 2 datasets of roads, one is a whole of site polygon layer and the other layer is broken into segments for each section of road. I have manually edited the whole of site layer to match our property boundary layer. Now I would like to match the road segments to the whole of site possibly by snapping the segment layer to the whole of site layer. I really hope there is a way to do this as it would be a massive job to manually align each individual segment to the whole of site layer. It has taken me 3 weeks to do the whole of site layer alone.

Hello,I installed FME 2022.1.1 on my laptop and installed the Oracle client (11_2) but even after several reboots I cannot select any Oracle Database as reader. They are all greyed out. When I open a workbench that contains Oracle it says something about missing dependencies: ‘Oracle Non-Spatial’,Oracle Spatial Object’. When I want to run it, it fails and gives the error: ORACLE Home is not set.  Does anyone has a hint how to fix that?

Hi Guys, I have recently using FME and would like to know if anyone can help me explain how to extract the polygons from a JSON file. I intend to create a workspace, but it does not extract what I need. Also, I have read a few similar questions about this topic but still do not have a solution. The file is the following one:Also, I have attached my workspace with much of the work :( If there is anyone who can help me much appreciate it.

Using FME Desktop 2023.1 I am able to use a SQL Server Database Connection (None Spatial) and ETL from database with no issue. When I try to publish the same script to FME Server 2021 and attaching the database connection to the script I am getting this errors   Failed to add database type 'Microsoft SQL Server' - FME Flow encountered an error and reported the following message.Path not found I also tried to use an exiting same connection which I already published with FME Desktop 2021.1 and now I am getting this error message 

My workspace is using ChangeDetector with two data sets original and revised. It appears that if the revised records contain two records with the same key and selected attribute and this key does not already exist in the original table then ChangeDetector will want to insert both records in the original table. This happens when the key is not already in the original table before the run. On subsequent runs, ChangeDetector finds the key and selected attribute in the original table, and it behaves as expected and does not insert a record. It treats it as an update or unchanged. How should I account for this? Attached is an image of my workspace. Thank you. 

I need help performing bulk feature service updates using FME.I would like to do what this blog post is doing, under the section "Updating AND Deleting Database Records with FME" but I can't recreate the steps with a feature service in Portal since there is no Row Selection option in these writers. The blog has steps to write to another geodatabase.Essentially, I need to update floorplans data by deleting the old version of the floor plan in the feature service and replacing it with the new floorplan data.The updated floorplans data exist in a geodatabase and it is used to update a feature service in Portal via ArcGIS Pro.Right now, I manually select all the floors that match the LevelID (unique ID we use for each floor in a building) in the update layers.Then, I delete all the features that match and insert the ne

Using FME Form 2024.0 and DGN v8Hello All,I have a DGN file with an OLE Embedded Excel Object. I am able to locate the element that represents the OLE object and can return all the typical IGDS information about the element itself, size, layer, model its in etc. What I would really like to do is investigate tabs, rows and columns content within that embedded Excel. Does anyone know if there is a way for FME to read an embedded Excel object from a DGN  file? 

Hi,I'm trying to clip raster data using a 1k*1k grid shapefile. I'm not achieving the desired results as the clipping is imperfect, resulting in gaps or extra pixels. My goal is to clip the raster strictly within the boundary without any additional or missing pixels.Could someone please suggest a workflow for this?sample data: 

I am trying to re-write an IFC file including its Type Objects. The IFC reader can either output them as single IfcTypeObject feature type or as separate feature types (IfcWallType, IfcDoorType, etc). Reading the Type Objects works fine for me. After manipulating the data, I would like to write them back into their relevant feature types, e.g. IfcDoor together with IfcDoorType, related through the ifc_type_object_id and ifc_unique_id attributes (I'm unsure how the unique IDs should be created but I simply used the UUIDGenerator where required) I also tried reading and re-writing the IfcTypeObject features. However, the Type Objects seem to be missing from the outputs, giving me warnings like the below. If anyone could help out here? IFC: Unable to write objects of type 'IfcWallType'IFC: Unable to write objects of type 'IfcDoorType'IFC: Unable to write objects of type 'IfcBeamType'

I have a workflow that includes transformers and a Python caller. The output of the Python caller generates CSV, GeoJSON, and SHP writers. The workflow has a user parameter called OUTFIELDS, which specifies the fields that should be written. How can I achieve this? I tried using AttributeExploder, but I couldn't dynamically generate the list of fields.

Hello Forum, I have a workspace which consumes an incoming geojson and then outputs three .tab files based on datestamp value combinations (via TestFilters): Active sites – where the start_date datestamp is in the past and the end_date datestamp is in the future Closed sites - where the start_date datestamp is in the past and the end_date datestamp is in the past Upcoming sites - where the start_date datestamp is in the future past and the end_date datestamp is in the future This workspace is doing exactly what I want it to do, so far. However, it’s entirely possible that there may be occasions when no object falls into one of the categories (e.g.: Upcoming sites). At the moment, if that happens then the workspace does not create an output. In this scenario I’m left with the most recent previously created output, where there were Upcoming objects. But in this scenario I need the workspace to create

Hello dear Community,Despite having a Sorter, DulicateFilter and Tester right out of the gate in my model, I still seem to be experiencing this issue on the ID field of my model - OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: failed to execute insert : UNIQUE constraint failed If I run it one at a time, it seems to work, but I'm trying to write to make different Geopackages, with 4 tables in each (with spatial data). I've been racking my brain about this for some time, changing writers from manual to automatic, deleting any output data after each test run to ensure it's not conflicting, making sure there's no duplicates in the ID field that would trip up the writers, but to no avail - and wondered if anyone here may have a lifeline to throw me.Thank you

HiI would like to add a raster to a DWG and have the path to this external reference set as a proper relative path.When you write a raster to a DWG file, the AutoCAD writer automatically writes a PNG in the folder of your output DWG.If you keep this PNG file next to your DWG, it will always open. However, if you insert this drawing in a new drawing, the link to the image breaks.This is caused by the path of the external reference (raster) that is not properly set a relative path.If we look at the created path from FME in Autocad, we see this:If you change the path type to relative in autocadThen the saved path changes to:

Using FME 2021, and 2023 SQLExecutor, I am running a simple query to return data from a non spatial table in SQL Server, but I am getting an empty column in return The number of rows are exactly 145 and SQLExecutor result is showing that but the visual Preview just showing an empty column (again with correct 145 rows) I even added a AttributeManager to script but same result is happening Can you please let me know what I am doing wrong here?

Hi,I am trying to write a DWG file with the units set to US survey feet. I can’t get it to work, its is in completely the wrong spot. I’m not entirely sure you can, but I’m not enough of and expert with FME (or US survey feet).Looking at the help file for my FME version (2023.2) it doesn’t have us survey feet as a possible unit to set the insertion units to.I have the unit set in a template file and that doesn’t help when the help says it should use this when I don’t explicitly set it.I am writing to a 2018 DWG (as that is the newest). I know for older versions of DWG you could not set US survey feetDoes anyone have any ideas? Surely US survey feet is a more common unit than the parsec for a DWGThanks

Hi,I would like to create a workbench that will allow the user to make unique slecection from Excel document by entering not only value but also the operator. Is that functionality available?Example  

I have created over 200plus parameter fields and the alignment is off but can’t edit them. Not sure how to do this. I’m new to FME Workbenches and can’t see a way to update this. I’m using the CAT so that these fields can be ran into ArcGIS Pro. I have a huge workbench and not sure what to do next. I would love any help.

Hi All,I have successfully created a workflow that populates an empty template GDB with a relationship class (1 to 1) pre-created in ArcPro. The workflow works fine but I’m thinking to publish the same data onto our Portal for GIS platform to avoid the manual process of publishing the GDB through ArcPro.As far as I’m aware, FME will not create the relationship class and I was thinking to upload an empty template GDB (with 1 to 1 relationship class already created) to Portal for GIS and then point my FME to the feature hosted layer and fill the layer with the data,I have done some basics tests but can’t see that the relation class 1:1 works fine in Portal for GIS (even the empty template has set up correctly the relation)Does anyone have some experience publishing data onto Portal for GIS (or AGOL) with relationships?Any ideas more than welcome,

I would like to convert surface data (like mesh or LandXML) to IFC (using for example the ifcTriangulatedFaceSet class). I think, it has to be quite easy but I have no idea how to write those IFC data.I attache an input example-file (LandXML).Thank you very much for any suggestions.Franco

FME Desktop 2022.2Objective: I want to terminate my workbench if the FeatureJoiner spits out any UnjoinedRight records. So this means, even if there are any Joined records, I want these to also terminate in the flow because there are UnjoinedRight records being caught.  Workflow and Logic:I have the following set up but it is not working. Notice in the screenshot below, I added a counter to the UnjoinedRight port, and a Tester. If the Tester conditions are met, they Pass and I want the Joined record to move along. If the Tester conditions are not met, then they Fail and I don’t want the Joined records to continue and would like the workbench to Terminate. 

Hello,I have a workbench 2022.2 that writes out data from a join of another feature service to an SDE feature class out to an existing service. I am using an attribute manager, see below, before a date formatter and reprojector. However, when I run the workbench, the writer always gives me a mismatch on attribute sizes error in manual and automatic modes. I have tried to update the attributes to the values listed in the error but it always seems to revert back. I know I am missing something simple but for the life of me I cannot see what.Thank you for your time. Scott
