Hello everyone, here is your weekly FME newsletter. User Conference DetailsThe FME User Conference is coming up quickly (August 24-26 in Vancouver) and most of my work now is preparing for the event. We recently published the full agenda so you can see all of the sessions taking place, including user presentations:  I have to say that the presentation lineup reads like a Who's Who of FME experts. There is an impressive range of talks by a host of top speakers, and I think we're all going to learn a lot during the week. In particular interest, we have two sessions titled "Special Interest Groups"; one for local government and one for utilities:  I think the hope is to improve networking and create a community of like-minded users that lasts beyond the conference, which would be great to see. Outside of the presentations, there is always a lot of activity, and this is no exception. In fact, we published a blog post yesterday about these activities.  The news is that the

Hi,  I am currently writing my master's thesis on the subject of "Geodata according to BIM".  In particular, the georeferencing of the IFC file using FME causes problems. In concrete terms, the necessary IFC entities "IfcProjectedCRS" and "IfcMapConversion" cannot be written. How are these defined and written with FME?  IFC Version 4 is to be written. (FME 2019.1.2.0 (Build 19630) and WIN64 are used for the data conversion.)  Do you already have experience with georeferencing IFC4 files using FME? 

The account that is used to run FME Server models has access to a network drive (\\\\srv-be-di-xxxx\\fs-data\\). Files can be read from and output can be written to this network drive without issues, using the right paths as parameters to run the model. However, when I try to add this network drive as a new resource in the Resources tab of the FME Server UI, I get the notification: Error. The settings for this Resource Connection are invalid. Do you still want to savePath does not exist: \\\\srv-be-di-xxx\\fs-data\\ Why is FME Server able to use this network drive in the models, but not to actually add it as a new resource?

Hello There we are consuming streaming data coming from the GPS location of a large number of assets, we are getting around 4 Million records a day all those records represent the location of the asset moving in reel time we need to store this data in the database to get the path for each asset. due to the size of the data, it takes a long time to query the database and retrieve the path of the assets during a period of time is there anyway, instead of storing the Point we store line, and this will reduce the number of records how could build a line path that will have the same alignment as the road or any other solution that will solve this issue Thanks

I have a dozen connected large point clouds (2-3 sq km) which have ended up about 100m out in elevation due to transformations performed in another product to align them accurately. I want to take each point cloud (LAZ) and shift it up 97.5m in elevation. How can I do this in FME? Please be detailed as I am still learning to use FME and not familiar with a lot of its capabilities. Thanks in advance

Is there a way to: make a reader case-insensitive?Change the case of the headers?Stop the workspace and generate an error if the wrong case is encountered in the file headers?

I've noticed the Features can be read irrespective of if the random string at the end is present or not. They seem to change each day or time I re-add the reader, which doesn't make much sense. The AGO Feature Layers are named fine, permissions are correct, so there's no reason for it to add random characters. I didn't know if there was anything in FME that might resolve the issue as I cannot run the job unattended. It refuses to read the Feature Layer, though using the GUI I can read the Feature Layer and Attributes just fine.

A generic workflow is required to produce a linear referencing system of road network. Please share steps and needed transformers with parameter settings. Thanks.

Hi.JPG photo from a DJI drone contains coordinates in the EXIF ​​but is not displayed in the correct location.

Hi everyone!I try using AttributeSplitter to split up a file path in all it's folder parts, but the returned list is empty. I have tried to split by '\\', '\\\\' and '/' but with the same result. How do I get this to work?I want the 6th folder in the path wich can contain 7 or more folders so it doesn't work with FilenamePartExtractor.I am using Windows. The filepath looks like this '\\\\server.local\\path\\to\\folder1\\folder2\\and\\so\\on\\file.mxd 

I prepared simple script with HTML report.  Script is checking all txt files in input directory, compare values with parameters and prepared html report with href to each file or folder.  I have access problem i think in FME Server Streaming Service.Hrefs to files are not working with FME Server. HMTL file generated from this script is working outside the FME Server Streaming results. Can you help me?

There is a problem that it is not displayed normally when converting IFC Schependomlaan.ifc among the Sample-Test-Files files in buildingSMART.Is there any solution regarding this?​<abnormal>​<normal>Regards,Bongsup Kim​

I have a project in which I generate four shapefiles. In 1 of the shapefiles I add new attributes via transformers and fill them with a specific value. But even though I have neatly arranged the order of the attributes in my writer, this is not followed in the output in the shapefile. The added attributes are in other places than indicated in the writer itself. How can I ensure that the output is neatly arranged as I want it?

Hello ,  I would like to have fixed color of lines and write it into Esri shape file.i have used feature color setter or DGN styler but it does not work .when I read the shapefile again , I have found it has random color .Any help please FME 2021

We are doing surveys of areas using drones. Images are taken directly from above with a very large overlap, which is required to create 3D models and point clouds. This works perfectly in software like Pix4D and DroneDeploy. As an alternative, we are trying to use FME to mosaic the images together, but cannot even get two images to be properly stitched together. As this should be a very simple task, I assume we are missing something very basic. I have tried to go through other tutorials/posted questions regarding this issue, but could not find anything that helped. The test workflow reads two JPG images (there are actually thousands of images, but we are testing with two adjacent images) and sends this to the Raster Mosaicker. The only way that I got the two images to be mosaicked was to set the "Overlapping Values" to Average or Sum, but the end result is an image that looks a bit like a water mark (colour faded) with certain parts of the two images duplicated at the wrong s

I have an obj file file with texture. But i need to split the obj file in to multiple parts of that obj file .

hello , I would like to add ID of each line above the Center of line .but in some cases that the lines are rotating or have curves . .is there method that I can align label probably and avoid overlap the label on lines ?. As info : I do not have license for a Map text labeller.Thanks in advance .FME 2021

Hi,I'm using @ReplaceRegEx and I've tryed to use named capturing group but I think that it isn't possible, could you confirm that ? Here some information about capturing group : https://www.regular-expressions.info/named.html With REGEX, you can use () to capture a group. @ReplaceRegEx allows you to call this group into the result of this function by using the number of order of the group.Here the function that allow me to transform '01/01/2020' to '2020-01-01' :@ReplaceRegEx('01/01/2020', ([0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9])\\/([0-1][0-9])\\/([0-3][0-9]), ",\\3-\\2-\\1) But with REGEX you can name these groups like that (?<name>group) so our function will be like this :@ReplaceRegEx('01/01/2020', (?<year>[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9])\\/(?<month>[0-1][0-9])\\/(?<day>[0-3][0-9]),",\\<year>-\\<month>-\\<day>) I've tryed different form to call these groups : <name>, ${name}, $+{name}, \\g{name} but none o

Hi, I have thousands of dgn files that need to be converted to shape files. I want to convert each dgn into corresponding shape file. Also I want to add the DGN file name, IGDS_level_name and the elevation of the feature as attribute in shape file. Is there a way of doing it quickly. Regards, Krishna

I'm seeing in my FME 2022.1.3 Esri Reprojector that my ArcPro 3.0.2 customtransformations installed at %appdata%\\ArcGISPro\\ArcToolbox\\CustomTransformations are not recognized. This wasn't the case in FME v2018/2020/2021. Is anyone else having the same issue? This happens even if I place the same transformation file in <FME_HOME>\\Reproject\\EsriPEGridData\\customTransformation.
