FME Form

Hi there! I have a point cloud representing a dense forest. I am trying to get the 3D convex hull of the point cloud (as a mesh). I have already tried PointCloudToPointCoercer (individual points) into HullAccumulator but the results are unexpected and do not contain the whole point cloud:  Using the Minimum Bounding Volume tool in ArcGIS Pro does the trick, but since the rest of my workflow is in FME, I would like to avoid this option. Is there an FME alternative to this tool? Here is the result produced by Minimum Bounding Volume in ArcGIS Pro:  Hope someone with knowledge of 3D models in FME can help. Thank you!

Hello, I am using FME Server 2021.2.3 deployed on couple of machines in a fault tolerant configurationWe have an Oracle database 19c. I have tried to connect to the database in FME Server, but getting the error message below (see attached also). I can connect to the database from SQLDeveloper on the same server.A similar issue was reported in https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080heRDSAY/not-able-to-create-a-new-database-connection-on-fme-serverHowever the solution needed a reinstall of FME Server.Does anyone have other suggestions ? 929028:SQL Query SELECT NCID FROM fme_nc_namedconnections WHERE connectionname = ?

I have an issue trying to get a DGN file into Revit for placing rebar and steel detailing. I've tried the following:Import an IFC from designer - model breaks and has strange behavior.Convert DGN to a DWG file via FME and import to Revit - broken model no resembling original. Has anyone developed a workflow or know a good way to achieve a stable DGN to Revit workflow maintaining most of the original integrity without bugs etc.? Thank you!

Hi all!I would like to write my data to a format called .geo which is used in Sweden but is not supported by FME.I attach some sample how the format looks like:FileHeader "SBG Object Text v2.01","Coordinate Document","UTF-8"begin   FileInfo "Application","Geo Professional"    FileInfo "SerialNo","123456789"   FileInfo "Author","Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"   FileInfo "Company","Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"   FileInfo "Description",    FileInfo "Coordinate System","Sweref 99 18 00 / RH2000"endPointListbegin   Point "123456",6580210.000,155715.000,,,,"rör i mark med däcksel"   Point .....   Point....endLineListAttributeList I have a list with points and want to fill in the list in the "pointlist" section.Would this be possible with FME right now?Any ideas or help is appreciated. 

Hi, guys, i'm new here. When i make a hatch in Autodesk CAD, and then translate it into GDB via FME, then i use FME exporting to .dwg file, when i zoom in to a very large scale, the new geometry's boundary line doesn't fit the original one, the area of the hatch also changed a little, but the line or arc don't change when i do the same. Can anybody tell me how to make it right? THANKS!!

I am using InlineQuerier to lookup a value and add it as an attribute to my base table (Cities). For audit purposes I want to lookup multiple values and add multiple attributes before performing calculations. Currently I am using a separate InlineQuerier for each additional attribute. Can it be done in one? or using other tools? As an example say the base table is Cities, and I want to look up several different price indexes in a CityIndex table based on specific dates, and add these to the base table. See pictures. To add one attribute I can use an InlineQuerier function:Select Cities.*, CityIndex.IndexValue as Index_at_20210630from Cities Join CityIndex on CityIndex.City = Cities.Name where IndexDate = "20210630" But how can I add multiple attributes - see desired state screenshot attached? Many thanksPhilip (6 month FME user)    

How to connect fme server to the network drive?

Hi everyone,I am trying to split a large table into multiple files and was playing around with the dataset fanout feature. My table has multiple header rows that contain explanations of each attribute that I wish to keep in each file created by the fanout but I cant seem to make it work.  An alternative that I can also see working is to add a static Sheet to each fanout-file which then contains these explanations. I wasnt able to make that work either though. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, we have some PoylgonZ geometries with multipe polygons per building. For each polygon we have different heights. Now we are creating building models in citygml with citygml_lod_name = lod1Solid. This is working already with this workflow:But now we have for each solid one building element. Then I thought on the transformer aggregate to aggregate the solids for each building (by gmlid).But then I have MultiSolids which I can´t write to CityGML (lod1Solid). How can I create only one Solid for each building?Or do I have to use lod1MultiSurface?

Hi, I am using the Email(Send) action within an Automation but am unable to get it to work. I am using: smtp.office365.com on port 587 and StartTLS encryption.The office365 email account has MFA enabled and so I am using an App password.I am able to use the same configuration within the FME Desktop Emailer transformer just fine - but the same parameters do not work within the FME Cloud automation.Error message is:"com.microsoft.aad.msal4j.MsalInteractionRequiredException: AADSTS50126: Error validating credentials due to invalid username or password"My FME Cloud instance is running "FME Server 2022.2.1 Build 22776 - linux-x64"I have also supplied an App Client ID by registering an App within am Azure AD as described in this article but it does not resolve this issue:https://community.safe.com/s/article/How-to-use-Microsoft-Modern-Authentication-with-FME#ForServerAny Ideas?Thanks

I have to assign line IDs to bus stops (point on the line). All lines are splitted at junctions. Desired result: S1 IDs: 001, 002 (but not 025)S2 IDs: 003M1: 015, 016 (but not 031)M2: 017 Any thoughts?

Task: Transpose speed sections along a section of road that is provided as 5m point layer, this is to be done for multiple roads with multiple speed sections. Road Layer : 5m Points with ChainagesSpeed Zone Layer : Sections of road with Chainage From and Chainage To When you have one road this task can be executed using TestFilter and manually entering the speed sections using Chainage From in creating the speed attribute. Question:Is there a transformer or a way that I can import the parameters from the Speed Zone Layer, without having to enter the filters manually? As I will need to do this task for multiple roads with multiple sections. Entering different testfilters manually is very time consuming and inefficient and tedious, hoping I can import in bulk?  Appreciate all the advice :)

I am trying to setup oAuth. When I test the Web Service, I get this:The endpoint does not support the provided HTTP method I have setup oAuth 2.0 in postman with success. One difference I see is that postman sends a POST for Authorization while FME sends a GET. Any workarounds for this?

Hi All, Hope you are well, I'm trying to upgrade an FME workbench made in FME 2020.2 to FME 2022.2 but keeps giving me a Python error while running,  I assume is something to do with Python 2 (FME 2020) and Python 3(2022) but can't figure out the workaround to update the workbench Would you be able please provide me with the steps to upgrade the workbench without re-creating it in 2022? Thanks in advance 🙂

Hey there. Im trying to use the good'ol Creator->HTTPCaller->JSon'er method for the data here:https://www.fega.gob.es/atom/es.fega.sigpac.xml Where I am basically sending requests to fetch certain part of the data and then do some analysing on it before exporting to a format. But there is a problem here which is that the service requests you to accept to terms and conditions before you can start fetching.  Doing this through browser ain't a problem as you just click on the "LEER Y ACEPTAR LAS CONDICIONES" button and read through the document that pops-up and then press "ACEPTAR LLAS CONCIONES" which brings you to the data. It is using the HTTPCaller where i have the problem, cause just fetching the data (through the same URL) gives me the _response_body:<html><body>No has aceptado las condiciones y no puedes ver los ficheros</body></html> or basically "You have not accepted the conditions" Does anyone have suggestions how to include accepting the terms and

Hi all!I want to request the monthly average exchange rate for a whole year. So far, I have transformed the soap request to xml and pasted it into the xml templater. I then post the request by the HTTPCaller and extract attributes by means of the XMLFragmenter. This works fine as long as I request the monthly average exchange rate of one month of a specified year at the time.However, here is were I am stuck: To get all monthly average exchange rate I would need to post 12 request, one for each month. My idea was to do this by means of sub templates, but I have not succeeded in doing so. I tried to import a file containing a list from 1 to 12 (1= january...12=december) and connect this list to the sub port. I could add 12 xml templater and httpcaller instead, but this does not seem very effective. Is it possible to achieve this by sub template?Or is there a way to dublicate requests or is it in some way possible to loop through the request?Any ideas and help are welcome!Thanks in adva

Hi all,Recently, I've been trying to load an Excel file using Python Creator.reader = fmeobjects.FMEUniversalReader('Excel', False)reader.open(FME_MacroValues['SourceDataset_XLSXR'])feature = reader.read()while feature:               attributes_list = feature.getAllAttributeNames()               for attr in attributes_list:                      attr_value = feature.getAttribute(attr)                      feature.setAttribute(attr,attr_value)               self.pyoutput(feature)               feature = reader.read()reader.close()Unfortunately, the above reading process loses the feature schema.Is it possible to use Python FME API to expose all attributes or load a feature schema from a source file?

Hello! When converting DWG/DGN v8 files to DGN v7, the coordinates in the v7 file are rounded, which causes the file to end up a few centimeters in the wrong place. I want the v7 file to have the same coordinates as the v8. How can i solve this?/ What is happening with the transformation that casuses this? The image is very zoomed in, but there is a difference.  Regards,Gustav
