FME Form

Hi when I try to setup the coordinate system for my reader to EPSG7792 the Arcgis data interoperability doesn’t have  Can you support please ? thx Francesco  

Our company has a new credit card. So, I have to change it in the billing in FME Hosted. But there no place to do this. As far as I know i'm the admin, so should have all the rights.Does someone have an idea?

I am attempting to convert a DXF/DWG file into the IMDF format. Following the instructions outlined in the first and second articles, I have successfully preprocessed and located the DXF file.However, I am encountering an issue at part 3 of the process. The Reader does not seem to be reading any features as expected.The tutorial I'm following can be found here. One thing, I updated the reader format from Autodesk AutoCAD RealDWG DWG/DXF to Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF.Because I could not load module '/Library/FME/2023.2/plugins/realdwg/realdwg.so' .But i do not think that causes the problem.I would greatly appreciate any assistance in troubleshooting this problem. Thank you.   

Hi All,I have created a workspace that reads all GDBs included in a folder (and subfolders) and export a few attributes to an excel file but now need to bring the GDB name (path_filename) into the final output. I tried to expose the attribute to bring it along the workflow but seems isn’t part of the unexposed attributes.I was expecting to see the GDB name as part of the Generic elements (within the unexposed attributes) but the GDB is only in the <Schema>,How can I bring the GDB name as column in the final output (excel file in this case)?<Generic> screenshot<Schema> Screenshot

Dear FME community, apologies up front for being a novice python userI am trying to use the python caller transformer to execute an external .py file. However my external .py file does not have any classes therefore I don’t know what to do with the ‘Class to process features’ parameter in the transformer. If I run the python caller regardless, it executes my .py script fine, but crashes at the end with this error message “PythonFactory failed to load python symbol `FeatureProcessor'”. This is because I’m using the default ‘FeatureProcessor’ as my parameter for the “class to process features”, which I know is wrong.My python script simply generates a JPG file and saves it to a directory.I hope someone can assist and I haven’t totally missed the point.Regards, Damian

Hi community,I would need your help to make my FME code smarter and more dynamic. I am retrieving data via API. The problem is that I can only retrieve 100 items per page. I have 6 pages so I duplicate 6 httpcaller to be able to recover all of my data.Wouldn't there be a more dynamic way to retrieve this data without having to duplicate the httpcaller, maybe by looping but I don't know if it's possible on FME.In the first call, I have the information about the number of pages.Thanks for your help

Hi everyone! I am new to using FME software and I am trying to use FME Form to extract information from a PDF using the Adobe Geospatial PDF reader.  I was wondering if it was possible to somehow extract the color of the text in the document. For example, if I had a PDF document with yellow highlighting and blue highlighting, being able to extract the bits that are only yellow and only blue.  Thanks!

Hi, I have been working on CESIUM 3DTiles generation, but I am facing challenges because the results are not aligned with my intended goals. Specifically, I am unable to achieve the desired mesh quality. The input files consist of a GeoTIFF with a resolution of 6 centimeters per pixel, and the point cloud data is stored in a LAZ file containing over 250 million points. Despite these inputs, the resulting mesh quality remains disappointingly low. I am seeking guidance on how to improve my workspace and achieve a high-quality mesh. 

I am using the FME REST API v4 to try and retrieve all Workspace Apps (and Automation Apps and Gallery apps) but I only get http status code 404, although I see in Fme Flow that we have over 20 Workspace Apps. I can retrieve Schedules, Automations and Workspaces just fine. Is it a bug? Result:HTTP/1.1 404    NO_RESULT    {"message":"FME Server Workspace App automations does not exist."}    404 This works:$(FME_SERVER_URL)/fmerest/v3/schedules?limit=-1&offset=-1This doesn’t work:$(FME_SERVER_URL)/fmerest/v3/apps/automations?limit=1000&offset=0 

Hi There,After a recent upgrade of ArcPro (to v 3.1.0) I am now seeing this notation in FME Desktop and FME Server logs....Current installed ArcGISPro version '3.1.0' is unsupported. Minimum supported version is '2.3.0', and maximum supported version is '3.0.0'....what does this mean exactly?...do I need to upgrade FME?...on Desktop it doesnt seem to make a difference (I can still successfully run operations), but now some Scheduled Services are failing in FME Server and I am wondering if this is the reason. Thank you 

Is it possible to read field aliases from an ArcGIS Feature Layer? I see there is a way to do this if connected to an Esri File Geodatabase, but the data I am working with is service based. I am currently using a FeatureReader connected to ArcGIS Enterprise.Thanks in advance!Sasha

Hi,I'm attempting to filter the records in the reader using the WHERE Clause, but I'm having trouble making it work. I'm trying to select all entries created after 20230718.

Hi all,Is it possible to tile a raster based on the defined polygons (coming from a shape file) and not based on the dimensions or number of tiles?

 Hi everyone ,Is there any way to create an area using the limits of area geometries in input ?For exemple , if my geometries look like this  : and if I use the BoundingBoxAccumulator transformer ,it only creates a box based on the limits of the input . But I want the output to be like this :  Any Insight is much appreciated !

I have a very long list of attributes that I have typed into an AttributeValueMapper transformer. I now want to share this mapping with someone (not an FME user), so I would like to export the source and destination values to excel. I see that there is a button to import to this transformer, but not one to export. Is there a way around this, or doing I have a lot of typing to do?

Hi All,I’m new to process LiDAR data using FME and just received a bunch of LAS files that need to process as DEM (output). I was doing some reading and users sue the _classifciation to classify the data but have just realised that my data isn’t classify as my classification filed is 0? Screenshot below: I’ve also tried to use the PointCloudLASClassifier but the classification is 0 so doesn’t work. Any trick to classify the data and be able to export the DEM?

Hi,I am extracting GIS layers into a DWG file using FME 2017.0.1.1I would like to define the color of Autocad block attributes using Red Green Blue (RGB) codes (autocad true color) instead of autocad color values.The RGB values are defined in an Excel settings file that I call up in the transformer “AttributeCreator” :However in the output DWG file, the color is defined by an autocad_color value (very close to the RGB value but not quiet the same), but it doesn’t write the RGB values in an autocad_true_color attributes.I also tried to create an autocad_true_color attributes defined by the RGB codes of my Excel file but it doesn’t work neither (same output).Is there a known limitation in FME working with autocad block attributes with autocad_true_color? And is the

Hi there, I am trying to create a 3D photo mesh using LiDAR and aerial imagery, but find using the TIN Surface produces a more jagged output, even with a higher tolerance. I was wondering if it’s possible to do this using a DEM and if this would produce a neater result. I am using Surface Modeller to convert the LIDAR to TIN Surface. I then remove existing appearance and hook up the result along with the aerial image to the appearance setter transformer.What should I be using to get a neater output or is TIN the only way to go?Regards, Josh

Hello everyoneI am currently working on a project where i have to create an ifc file from a CAD floor plan.in fact in order to do that i have some issues to solve, one of them is that i have to create gaps in walls for doors and windows, for that i thought of extruding the walls and doors twice using two extruders  to create solids and use CSGbuilder to create the gaps but it rejects them , so i thought of extruding the walls and doors only once to create surfaces and use the clipper , however the doors surfaces happen to fall next to the walls , and not precisely on them which lets the clipper fail at calculating the intersection , so i am wondering if there is a way to somehow project the surfaces (for example the doors on the walls) before using the clipper or maybe you have an entirely different idea for handling this problemThank you in advance.​​​
