FME Form

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. I've tried the following equations, but it failed."created_date">20230718000000.000000"created_date" LIKE '20231718%' Error ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Encountered an unexpected error. The error code from the server was '500' and the message was: 'Invalid data type for expression ["created_date">20230718000000.000000].'. Details: '' ArcGIS Portal Feature Service Reader: Encountered an unexpected error.

When I run: .\fme.exe python -m spacy download en_core_web_sm I get the following error: Expected an even number of command line arguments, instead got 3 for command line: >>  `pip'  `install'  `https://github.com/explosion/spacy-models/releases/download/en_core_web_sm-3.7.1/en_core_web_sm-3.7.1-py3-none-any.whl' <<Program Terminating I was able to install “spacy” to my Python environment, however I need to install the models for spacy as described here: https://spacy.io/usage/models Is there anything I can do about this error?

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 there a known workaround?Thanks in advance for your support.Aude 

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.​​​

Hi allI need support please I’m not expert in sqlite db and I understood that there is a column called rowid I create a sqlite db but when I open this db in sqlreader I see that the values present in the rowid column start from 1 my reques is I need that the values present in the rowid colums must be equal to the values present in the Id column. thx for support  

Hi,I am trying to copy files within a work flow using the feature writer transformer. i dont want to use the writer as i want to carry on processing down stream of this action.in the filecopy writer i can set the destination folder as below. however i cant see out to populate the parameter's in the feature writer, or its not clear. Anyone else managed to get this working?Thanks,Andy  

Hi All,What the best way of reading multiple ArcPro GDBs saved within multiple subfolders? I have looked into the Creator + FeatureReader transformers but can’t get it to work, folder structure as follows:  I would like to read the multiple GDBs form the DATA level and force FME to go through the subfolders. 

Hi, I am trying to simplify .stl file that is a fme_surface.I am trying to get from this to this I have tried MeshSimpifier and Triangulator+MeshSimplifier but it failed 

I have used the 'filecopy' writer. The workbench works fine within FME desktop but when I run as a 'data stream' within FME server I get a message saying 'There was an Error'. See attached screenshot. I guess the question is, is it possible to 'data stream' a PDF. And if it is, should I be using a PDF writer?

Hi FME Community,I’ve been testing out an old script with FME Form 2023.0.0.1 and noticed one workspace with NeighbourFinder transformer has come to a halt with no clear message of warning or error. The same workspace works well with older FME Desktop Workbench 2022.1. Data size is around 50K rows, however it’s unclear at what progress/rows the halt would happened.I was suggested to upgrade to newer version, anyone encounter similar experience?Cheers,Noe

hello ,i have detected self intersection with geometry validator does it possible to convert the line that detected to straight line ? I do not need the triangle at image (I have detected the issue location with geometry validator ,but how could I remove the part unwanted that occurs it ) .thanks in advance Fme 2021

So I’ve worked with JSON in fme quite a lot, and I’ve even used the JSON syntax highlighting when trying to delve into it. What I did NOT realise though was that the JSON Syntax will automatically format the JSON for you - no need to use a JSONFormatter to help you read it.Probably this was know to others already but for me this was a nice surprise

I am trying to use attribute, which reprsents search path, to fill in the XML Path in Update section as shown in the screenshot below. But the update is failed. The original value for the element is gone.  From the translation log, I can see the following warnings. But I cannot figure out why it says about “end of file”.  Please can someone shine a light on the issue?Thanks.

I have been trying to create 4 feature datasets inside 1 file geodatabase using FME, but it looks like in FME there is no option to create an Esri feature dataset. When I have opened the feature writer, I don’t see an option to select feature dataset.I have a lot of shapefiles that I want to organize by province represented by the Esri Feature datasets and inside each feature dataset there will be points, lines, and polygons (it is not just one type of geometry).Do you know if that’s even possible in FME?

Hi, I wanted to very simply use a tester to select all records that had a date in the past week. I have tried everything but it does not seem to work.I have a date field in the correct format, I have also tried other formats via the date/time converter but it does not work. @DateTimeNow()-7 does not work.Anyone have any other suggestions? ThxNathalie
