FME Form

I am new in FME and I have a project to convert 3D models in .rvt format to be poblished in scene 3D views in ArcGIS enterprise. I was trying to find articles or similar projects that was done before but I couldn't. Can someone help me please tnx!

When I run my spatial filter with the entire dataset the filter fails but if I run using partial data the dataset it works. Does anyone know why this would happen?Note: Spatial Realtor works but not the spatial filter.

I am slowly loosing track of all my inpector windows. How can I stop fme creating a new instance every time a tool is run?

I have several Revit files for design review of a construction project and I want to make them available to our organization through ArcGIS Enterprise using a 3d web scene showing the Revit data as a "building layer." I've set up the Revit readers but that is as far as I have gotten in FME. I tried creating Esri file geodatabase writers from the readers but resulting the feature class schema is different than what the results from the BIM File to Geodatabase geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro produces. For context, in ArcGIS Pro my steps would be:BIM File to Geodatabase (geoprocessing tool)Make Building Layer (geoprocessing tool)Share as Web Scene

Is there a way to check the status of a FME job through a powershell script?

I need to generate a list of polygons from Dataset Y that overlap with Dataset Z and the percentages each polygon overlaps the polygons in the other dataset.I’ve currently used a spatial relator > list concatenator to find overlapping polygons but it then requires a lot of additional work in excel to get it into a usable table so I am not getting results in the format I need.The data essentially looks like the follow example and I need something similar to the Ideal Resulting Dataset or in a format that is easy to follow or easy to turn into that dataset.Example Dataset Y1234 Dataset ZABCD Spatially Datasets Y and Z:Ideal Resulting Dataset:

Using the TINGenerator with 3D points as input, I get edges, triangles, surface and points. This looks fine in the inspector, and I can write the results out as e. g. Multipatch. I would like to write the result(s) (just the surface really) out to be readable by ArcGIS Pro as a TIN, like the result of the "Create TIN" GP tool. How do I do that? "Esri ASCII Grid" fails no matter the input and the adf writer (the TIN files in the Pro-created TIN folder end with *.adf, mostly) wants to write e00 files. 

Hi,  I am wondering how it is possible to write generics attribute in CityGML?  Any help appreciated :)  Regards,  Asher

I am trying to get version difference via ArcGIS Portal service and I am getting this error message : ERROR |Python Exception <KeyError>: 'rings' I am encountering this error message for only layer (pointing to polygon featureclass) on the service and the rest looks OK . In case I use other layers from the same service, its working fine and giving me version difference results without any issues.  If I do some edits from ArcGIS Pro and perform version changes, that seems to be fine for the same layer.  Thanks,Naveen

Hello FME Community, I get the following error message when creating features in FME using PythonCreator. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Hi guys,im using a CSV file + feature reader to manage SDE feature classes get read into my workbench. In this csvI also have a list of filter and attribute to keep/rename for each of these layers, im wondering what's the best practice to do this - is there an easy way i can apply my csv file rather than repeating tester / attribute renamer for each layer? thanks guys as always!

Hello! Not sure where to put this. I'm sure others must have tried this and figured it out before.  We have a spreadsheet with 10 tabs. 3 of those tabs we'll have automated via an FME workspace.  Question 1 - Is it better (or easier) to purely overwrite or append? We have an excel template set up as the formatting (font size/ auto height) need to be followed. The scenario here is we are keeping track of communications and creating a new row each time there's a new communication. Is anyone able to share a screenshot of what the parameters should look like? I am getting confused by truncate/insert/update, templates and named range and how they all work in this situation. Is it possible to only overwrite the three tabs or if I select overwrite does that imply the whole spreadsheet. I notice there are two sections to control parameters  I'm a little bit unsure of setting up a named range since the list of communications will cont

My question concerns when a resource is read when using a dynamic writer. Is it read at the start of the process or immediately before needing when dynamically writing? I am modifying the xml schema in my workspace and overwriting the file. However from what I can see the resource has already been read and applied as the schema. Should the resource be read just before the writer needs it or at some earlier point? Could I use an attributefilereader to read in the xml as an attribute and use this as a schema attribute just before the writing bypass this issue? Thanks,Ian

in in FME Json Reader following,{"yourDateOfBirth":"15/08/1987"}become column yourDateOfBirth with a value of 15/08/1987, I need to convert to value 08/15/1987? Thanks

Hi All,  I'm working on a workflow to identify if line is perpendicular and shows the same X at both vertex . Below a screenshot that shows a line pointing to the north but the X (top vertex) is different to X (bottom vertex). The aim of the is fail the lines which are not perpendicular and show different Xs, I was thinking about TopoBuilder but can't get it to work, Any ideas? Thanks :)     

Hi All, How can I force FME to write a single excel file with an unique DateTime value for all the Excel sheets included in a FeatureWriter? see the details below: Atm FeatureWriter writes a 'datetime' per excel sheet therefore export multiple xlsx instead of one single excel file. Any ideas? 🙂    

The netcdf format is new to me. I have created a multiband raster with 50 bands. Each band contains values for 1 day. My workflow looks like this: The sampler to the left is for testing only and lets 7 bands go through. The listbuilder creates a list of values for the 'days_since' variable. I want to use these values in the writer for the 'netcdf_band{}.coordinate_variable{}' port.How do I apply this as a list? At the moment I have to apply them individually day for day in the attribute manager before the writer.This works but is obviously not scalable. Any help in this matter would be much appr

While reading a gpkg file, I am getting the following error, Does anyone know what i can get over this error?

Hi, I am trying to rename feature classes in the gdb. I have found couple posts about this but I got FAILED when I implementing suggested soutions. What am I doing wrong? 

Hi!! I've got a problem in FME Desktop 2022.2 that I did not have in FME Desktop 2021.2 I have a workflow that makes POST request to ArcGIS Print Service in order to get an image of a map. We upgraded version and this workflow it doesn't work right now. It shows the following error:  "The encoded string is not a valid fme-wwjd string" The content of this string is a JSON that I need to do my request. As I sayd, the same workflow it works on version 2021.2Does anyone has any idea what happen?

good morning fme intusiasts I need your help. I have to convert .RGB files to .ECW and unfortunately I have no possibility to install "https://gdal.org/programs/gdal_translate.html" GDAL_Translate, which would save me a lot. it is about the "Intergraph Raster Reader/Writer" (https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-ReadersWriters/ingr/ingr.htm?Highlight=intergraph) Is there a possibility to use this reader/writer ?  Kind regards Michael

HiI've got ACAD file and need to migrate objects placed by operator on autocad paper space. FME can read paper spaces (parameter 'Read Paper Space') but objects have got coordinates related to paper spaces. Is there something to get georelation for paper space and map data?

I'm using the HTTPCaller to read in an MDS data feed that I would like to convert to an AGOL line feature by connecting the points together from the "route" attribute. I'm able to extract the attributes for each trip in the dataset using the JSON Fragmenter and JSON Extractor, but I'm getting stuck on creating the geometry. How can I take each point coordinate from a trip and connect them into a line and keep the trip attributes associated with it? Example of the JSON format is attached. 

Hi, In the FME basic training I am trying to create a PostGIS connection for Exercise 4 'FME Hackathon' (page 430).The Hackathon PostGIS Database should be located at postgis.train.safe.com, but I cannot get a connect with it using the given parameters (below). I followed the steps Tools -> Database Connections -> Add Database Connection.Host: postgis.train.safe.com Port: 5432 Database: fmedata Username: fmedataIn the log window the following error appears:Error connecting to PostgreSQL database(host='postgis.train.safe.com', port='5432', dbname='fmedata', user='fmedata', password='***'): 'server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request.'Isn't the server online or am I doing something wrong?My version is: FME

Why does featurewriter hang when I import featuretype from dataset? Is this a bug?  FME Flow Version: FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)Windows Version: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (Build 19045.3693) I add a FeatureWriter to the canvas.I open its configuration dialog.I set the format as Microsoft SQL Server Non-SpatialI set the connection one of the Database Connections I have saved in FME.I click the drop down menu below the Feature Types input port list and select Import from Dataset...I select the table from the dialogs.The table attributes are loaded and the table shows up in the Feature Types input port list.I close the dialog and the FeatureWriter transform is now not accessible and immovable. I am able add other transformers, readers, and writers, but if I resize the Flow window, the window panes do not resize with the window.
