FME Form

Hello all, very new user here. New to FME, point clouds, LiDAR, and all related. I'm having an issue where a LiDAR scan I'm attempting to visualize is only displaying correctly when I select 2D in the FME Data Inspector. So when I load the file in to FME, the following is displayed (I've panned and zoomed to make it more obvious what is going on): There is nothing but a long thin line even though the inspector recognizes I have loaded > 8 million points. However, when I switch to 2D (the button on the toolbar at the top), the following displays: This is in line with what I was expecting, a road with corners and holes in the road where the scanning vehicle passed cars. But again, it only displays like this in 2D. I understand this is likely a scan format issue. This scan is stored in a polar format based on WGS84, so I attempted to convert it to an XYZ format with a python algorithm a friend suggested to me. At first I thought it had worked, but that one was distorted also. Here is what

When the user selects first parameters the second parameter values should populate based on the first parameter selected. EX: first parameters has values A,B,C Second parameter has values 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 If the user selects 'A' from first parameter; second parameter should display 1,2,3 values when the dropdown is selected.

Hi, I'm using the FTPcaller to upload data on a weekly basis. In order to preserve data already posted, the new file has an changing date in the file name. I've configured the Transfer > URL portion of the FTPCaller to accept an attribute value which works fine. However, when I try and do this with the Upload From A File > File To Upload portion, the FTPCaller fails, saying it cannot find the file: Any idea what I am doing wrong?

I'm using the FTP Caller Transformer to download a file geodatabase from an sFTP site. I feel like I've tweaked every possible parameter. My data keeps ending up rejected with an "Error in the SSH Layer." Any ideas?

I have two datasets: A calibrated road dataset. Every vertex of the line has the measure value (kilometer point). A table with car accidents with a field that indicates the kilometer point where it happpened I need to create Point geometries for the accident using both datasets. In other words, I need to create a point event layer. As you can imagine, the accidents don't happen at an exact vertex of the road. Can FME create that point event layer? I've tried using the Snipper transformer, but I'm not getting the results I want.

I also want to know the relevance of this setting

I want to connect two databases (Oracle) in an SQLExecuter Transformer. This is to compare the changes. Currently I can add only one connection. Is it possible through User Parameter? Thanks in advance Harish

What determines the origin for the PointCloudCombiner? I can set the interval between points, but can I control their origin?

Sorry, this isn't FME-related, but given the experience here, it would be dumb not to ask. Our team currently employs VertiGIS Studio (formerly Latitude Geographics) Geocortex Essentials as our corporate web GIS viewer. We utilize this to configure project-specific web GIS viewers via a user interface, requiring no coding. It consumes our web services from Portal for ArcGIS, with authorization managed using groups in Portal. Additionally, we can leverage workflows, custom-made user interfaces used in combination with FME Server. The problem is that the product is being discontinued. VertiGIS Studio offers a new web viewer built from scratch, based on ESRI web maps instead of web services. Our issue with web maps is that they are difficult to maintain. Adding layers to viewers during project work is challenging, and there's no option for grouping layers in a folder structure. So we are seeking alternatives. I'm curious to know what others use and what they are enthusiastic about. Please

hello everyone There are breaks between my ongoing lines. How can I combine them? I tried line combiner and line builder, but the result was unsuccessful.

I'm working on a Traveling Salesman Problem. I've included the background and goals I'm trying to achieve. Background: I have a topological network that I can create a route over. I have locations on the network that require maintenance. Each location has a unique minimum and maximum number of days allowed between maintenance visits. I have the speed in which the maintenance team can travel, the length of time maintenance requires, the hours per day that maintenance works, and days per week worked. The maintenance staff do not return to a starting point between visits, but travel directly from one location to the next. Goal: I want to create the ShortestPath for the maintenance vehicle that ensures that each location is visited during the timeframe allowed. Problem: I am able to create a ShortestPath between the locations, but I can not figure out how to include the earliest and last dates that the locations should be visited in the algorithm.

I have no problem accessing my Trimble connect account through the connector and can see all relevant maps etc. but am unsure whether i need a reader to be connected and what that looks like. I want to download GPS data that is captured in Trimble connect and process it through into shapefiles based on the various layers in Trimble connect using FME. A side question would be whether or not the Trimble Connect connector can process image files as well that have been collected with the GPS points. Appreciate any assistance from the community :)

Hi everyone. I have a question regarding a FME application where I want to compare certain measurements. The mesurements are imported to FME by LandXML format and the basic relevant data are the cordinates (X,Y and Z), the date of the measurement and the name of the point. Example: Data i imported. 2024-01-01: P1; x=13,31, y=10,00;z=2,20 P2; x=11,21, y=9,87;z=2,10 P3; x=14,31, y=14,12;z=2,20 2024-01-02: P1; x=13,32, y=10,00;z=2,19 P2; x=11,21, y=9,88;z=2,10 P3; x=14,31, y=14,12;z=2,19 P4; x=9,12, y=14,12;z=2,21 2024-01-03: P1; x=13,33, y=10,01;z=2,19 P2; x=11,21, y=9,87;z=2,10 P3; x=14,31, y=14,12;z=2,19 P4; x=9,12, y=14,12;z=2,21 I want to import and generate graphs that shows the differences in plane and height (2 line graphs whit one line for each point and the date in x-scale) from the first measurement of the point. To complicate it a little further, as it shows it is possible for new points to be added later in the serie that will in later measurements be compared to the first me

I have closed and open FME and run the workspace, I have enabled Visual Preview, and Feature Caching as well but still can not see the results in transformers. I appreciated if someone can help me. Thanks

Hi! Do you know if Counter has a limit on the number that are generated (maximum lentgh)? I suppose there is not but I don't find this information anywhere. Thank you!

Hi! I have on my computer a lot of versions of FME (since 2016). I have installed FME form 2023.1.1.1 and 2023.1.2 and I have a problem with FME workbench with these 2 last versions. On my windows session, when I click on the program, a FME windows appear with messages : "checking licensed" then "loading ressources" then "loading transformers" and then "initializing main window". After this message, nothing appear. I tried with an other windows session and it work very well. Same thing with administrator rights (I'm sorry I don't know the good term in english for that). The old versions work very well. Do you have an idea about where come from the problem? Thank you!

Hi all, after NDVI calculation I select pixel values within a certain range. Afterwards I use a clipper to obtain only the desired area. Based on pixel values I get the following result: Afterwards I used "RasterExtentsCoercer" in combination with "Generalizer" to get smooth areas. It would be nice if the very small holes (yellow example) are combined to the detected area. Only larger holes should remain! How can I do this? Thanks in advance

I am highlighting the sql logic i would use in database environment that i am looking to replicate here. It does not accept that logic.

we have different workspaces (api, emails,xml and etc)

Hi, I am wanting to create a count that increases if a condition has been met. So as an example, if TIME is greater than 100 then the COUNT increases, otherwise it stays the same: TIME - COUNT 20 - 1 70 - 1 130 - 2 220 - 3 40 - 3 80 - 3 370 - 4 Been stuck trying to figure this out for a while. With Python this would be easier with the use of variables but I am struggling with FME on this one. I see the Count transformer has 'Group By' capability but I don't think that helps me for this situation.

Using Form/Workbench 2022.2, connecting to MSSQL 15 with 10.9 SDE over the top. I'm not an SQL expert, and this statement was a combination of my knowledge, ChatGPT and colleagues knowledge SELECT p.*, -- Calculate the rate of nitrogen (N) application over the entire spread. -- Convert the area to hectares, then multiply by the rate to get the total weight. -- Finally, divide by the applied area to obtain the average rate. SUM(p.Shape.STArea() / 10000 * p.NutrientN / p.AppliedAreaInHa) OVER () AS total_n_rate, -- Calculate the total fertilizer rate over the entire spread. -- Convert the area to hectares, then multiply by the rate to get the total weight. -- Finally, divide by the applied area to obtain the average rate.

We have a workbench that reads a CSV file on a network path that has multiple spaces . This works fine on the FME Form workbench but when published to FME Flow the spaces are reduced (there are three spaces in the path and Flow shows only 1)

I am sending JSON data to a Text File Writer. The Text File Writer has its MIME type set to "application/json", yet the response Content-Type remains "text/plain". Is there a way to force this to "application/json"? (Note: Using a JSON writer does set the content type to application/json, but it formats the response as a JSON array, which is not suitable for my calling application.) Second, the application that will be using this Data Streaming service sometimes requires specific HTTP status codes to be returned. Is there a way to force the HTTP status code e.g. to 400?
