FME Form

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 wha

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 th

 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=2,20P2; x=11,21, y=9,87;z=2,10P3; x=14,31, y=14,12;z=2,20 2024-01-02:P1; x=13,32, y=10,00;z=2,19P2; x=11,21, y=9,88;z=2,10P3; x=14,31, y=14,12;z=2,19P4; x=9,12, y=14,12;z=2,21 2024-01-03:P1; x=13,33, y=10,01;z=2,19P2; x=11,21, y=9,87;z=2,10P3; x=14,31, y=14,12;z=2,19P4; 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 i

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 - COUNT20 - 170 - 1130 - 2220 - 340 - 380 - 3370 - 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.

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?

I'm dealing with an error while reading data from an Intergraph GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse using FME build 23332, although this was also an issue in FME2019. The error does not give much info (see attached log file). We may get the error 3 times in a row with the same parameters, and then on the 4th run with no change it will process fine. Sometimes the error will not present at all.  This is also happening on multiple machines accessing the same network location. The error always occurs after the entry "Successfully closed GeoMedia SQL Server Warehouse reader" We are suspecting a network issue, but do not know where to begin checking.

Hi, fellow FMEers! I a problem that I cannot solve. I want to present 3D data along a line with breakpoints. In my script I want the line to be presented as a straight line (a profile).  It is important that the length of the line parts are correct but it doesn't matter where the resulting parts start.  The data input line is drawn from start to end but can begin and end anywhere (from west to east, north to south and so forth...).  Any hints or suggestions? 

Hey. Hey. Could anyone advise how to write files to multiple datasets according to the number of sets defined by the number of flight tracks? The output dataset should contain the name of the ler route and some other attributes that are not relevant at the moment, however I need the number of datasets to match the number of flight routes ( ar_name attribute ). Currently I can only create one output dataset see attachment "current_dataset_routes_update_test". The attachment contains four flight paths in one dataset, namely Z410, L132, M725 and L602. The required output I would need is 4 x dataset Z410, L132, M725 and L602 see separate attachments with required_dataset + flight route name. I am also attaching a printscreen to give an idea of how to create the actual output dataset. The number of flight paths and the resulting dataset can of course vary, the process must be automated. Thank you very much. M. 

HelloI took CityGML LOD2 RoofSurfaces (~1700) and textured them with an Orthofoto. If I write this to a 3D PDF or glTF it takes 1min and produces output of 50Mb in PDF and 15Mb in glTFIf I write the same data to an ESRI File GeoDB it takes 5h+ and produces a File GeoDB with ~6Gb size .What is going on here ? Do I need to specially treat the surfaces before writing them to the File GeoDB ?

Hello everyone,I'd like to outline the main concept of my work. I am working with two point clouds, one representing a road and the other obstacles. Initially, my goal is to determine the minimum distance between these two point clouds. To achieve this, I rasterize both point clouds and calculate the difference (A-B). I then identify the point with the minimum height (Xh, Yh) and its corresponding difference height (H). After that, I rotate the two point clouds, merge them, and rasterize the combined set. The result is like represented in the first picture. However, I aim to enhance this representation by adding an arrow to signify the distance H, as shown in the second picture.  My idea (maybe not the best) is identifying the neighboring pair in the two point clouds close to the extracted point with the minimum height (Xh, Yh). I intend to draw a line connecting this pair, label it with H, and either rasterize it with the point cloud or incorp

All our processes that were inserting NVARCHAR(MAX) values into SQL Server databases have stopped working correctly (FME inserts NULL values into NVARCHAR(MAX))after the latest FME upgrade (2022).  We have found a temporary solution using the Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial (JDBC) format instead of Microsoft SQL Server Non-Spatial but it requires to modify a lot of workspaces manually. Does anyone know if this is a bug and if it will be fixed? Thank you! 

I have created a process that simulates the horizontal wellbore creation processes for a client. However, I am stumped on, what seems to be a rather "newbie" process of flipping 180 degrees a select set of features. Let me illustrate further:  In the example below the user selects a township to create the horizontal wellbores. The workbench tiles the township into 6 sections by default. They next pick a direction (ie East/West or North/South.) Next they choose a starting location for the Surface Hole (N, S, E, or W.) Lastly they choose how many wells to place in each section.  The result is this of a North/South orientation with the surface hole in the south and 6 horizontal wellbores placed in the sections. So far, no issues this is version 1 where they all go in the same direction.    However, the client also wants

I have drill hole id's with overlapping minimum and maximum depth values. I'd like to split the overlaps. However this implies the addition of a new row with new minum depth and maximum depth values. I've unsucessfully tried building lines to get the intersections and overlaps. I've added an excel sheet with sample data and (I think) a clearer explanation of what I'm trying to achieve.
