FME Form

I have created a workflow in FME desktop on my mac and want to run this job on the FME server. As I am using mac, I am running the Docker build of the FME server. When executing the same job on the server I get this error message "Module 'acad/ACAD' is unavailable for use with this FME edition". Looking at similar issues I suspected that the module was not supported for Linux (Docker container), however this was not the case. I have tried running different version of the FME server (22715 and 2263), this does not affect the result, still the same error message.  Any idea of what is causing the problem? Could this problem be avoided if using Windows OS and the modules made for Windows?​

Is it possible to DELETE files using the WRITER "File Copy" ?  UPDATE:I have created a custom transformer that uses the solution (FeatureWriter in MOVE to null) and uploaded to https://hub.safe.com/publishers/sigtill/transformers/filedeleter Feel free to send any feedback related to this.

Hi,I'm using a FeatureMerger to check that two files contain the same features based on their attributes.Apparently, they don't seem to contain the same features although I thought they would. I must be missing something in the data. That's allright, FME's there to help me isn't it :)But strangely, the features which are not merged are not output by the UnmergedRequestor port of FeatureMerger. Isn't that weird ? 

In the screenshot attached: I want to aggregate all the green polygons (they are within 2 meters of a building) that belongs to one building into a single polygon.

Is it possible to create a bar chart with space between the bars? Currently they are merged together?  

Hello, I need more input/ information on what are all the scenarios I can use the below rest api call ? POST /transformations/transactdata/< repository >/< workspace >Query-based job transformation submitter (synchronous Also, the input here is a file and The 'application/octet-stream' type is used . So, may I know what type of input file should I use ? Will this API call convert my any input file into a streamed data and pass it to a workbench ? Thanks.  

Is FME 2022.1.x still supporting custom formats? Can someone share the documentation to create and consuming a custom format in FME 2022.1.x. Custom format that I have created in FME 2022.1, published user parameters not getting exposed. Means, published user parameters of the custom format are not available to set in the consuming (as Workspace Resources) workspace.

Hello everyone, I noticed that FME does not read the AutoCAD 3D element types- mass element - mass group (which is composed from mass elements)at all. On the other hand, 3d solids are read in. Below is an example of this.  Is there any way to read in mass elements from AutoCAD files with FME (e.g. by suitable parameter settings on the reader)? Alternatively, is there any way that with FME, I can detect if there are mass elements in an AutoCAD file (a simple yes/no would be sufficient for me)? Here is the example: I have some DWG file containing four 3D objects, one mass element, one mass group and two 3D solids, one of which is the mass group converted to a 3D solid: When I now read this DWG file into FME (Autodesk AutoCAD DWG/DXF reader with standard parameters), only the two 3D solids are available to me as FME features, but neither mass group nor mass element: I attached the DWG file to this post.

I'm new to FME and the Vmap/VPF format, And I would like to now how to convert an ESRI shapefile, obstacles (points with attribute height), to the VPF format. Is there someone who can guide me?

what I want are ArcGIS Layers to maintain old data. if no data is found in the next run, it needs to delete what’s in there and leave it as null until new data becomes available.

What is the best solution to transfer files from IFC format that have a geo-reference as shown in the picture to KML, bearing in mind that I kept the same geographical reference? Thanks for the help.

Hi all,I have roof shapes which I transform to fme_composite_surface (GeometryCoercer). Now I will use BRepSolidBoundaryCreator.Beta to create ground and walls. It works for a single building. Unfortunatley if I use a bigger area the transformer stopped by saying:BRepSolidBoundaryCreator.Beta_2_DonutBuilder_<Rejected> (TeeFactory): BRepSolidBoundaryCreator.Beta_2_DonutBuilder_<Rejected>: Termination Message: 'Element BRepSolidBoundaryCreator.Beta_DonutBuilder gibt ein <Rejected>-Feature aus. Um mit der Umsetzung fortzufahren, wenn Features abgewiesen werden, ändern Sie 'Workspace-Parameter' > Umsetzung > 'Behandlung abgewiesener Features' in 'Umsetzung fortsetzen'' What is going on here? Are donut polygons not working? Inside Transformer BRepSolidBoundaryCreator_Beta error comes from DonutBuilder: INVALID_GEOMETRY_DEGENERATEHow can I avoid this? 

Hi all, we are using the transformer BRepSolidBoundaryCreator.Beta to create buildings based on 3D roof shapes. For most of the buildings it works fine but we found some buildings with strange results. For example:We have this roof shape as input: The roof polygons have adjacent roof polygons that directly connect (lower left corner). Because of this we have 5 nodes First step is to create faces so we can use it later for the transformer.Result roof shape after creating faces:We have 3 Faces. After using the BRepSolidBoundaryCreator.Beta we have this result:The result of the walls are not correct. We have duplicate wall surface. The transformer should take the roof polygon (input) an should create a vertical sidewall surface that bridges between the boundaries of the planar surface and the source surface. Why does it turn multiple wall surfaces? Is it because we have three faces? Is there a way to create only the outer wall? Or do I have to manipulate the input polygon that I only have

Could I read the data from arc Gis with Fme desktop professional?

Is it possible to loop in FME? I want to connect a transformer back to the previous transformer in a particular condition.

Hi,I created a custom transformer which includes a PythonCaller to run a little script, worked fine while the transformer was embedded. I exported the custom transformer and added it to another workspace as a linked transformer, and now get the error:"The workspace is set to use `Python 3.9+', but the workspace contains a linked custom transformer with an incompatible Python Compatibility of `Python 2.7'. Please update the Python Compatibility of the workspace or the linked custom transformer" Both the workspace and the custom transformer are set to Python3.9+It works fine if I embed the transformer again. Any idea how I can resolve this?

The workbench connects and runs on FME desktop using same sde connection. Any help resolving this error would be appreciated! Thanks!

I am not that familiar with the SQLexecutor, but I was wondering something. When I am running the SQLexecutor, I don't get any feedback, so therefore I was wondering if I can get some kind of feedback mechanism that the database operations have occurred succesfully or not

I have a table in which some rows have identical values. I would merge the identical rows into one by using aggrator.I want the sum of row values ​​to be written to a new row.the aggragator does not calculate a sum of the values.Attached you will find the pictures that may help you to better understand my description.column Anzahl_Gas_HA must be 2177 after using aggregator.

I have two polygons which overlaps and I use transformers to have the intersection (I tried Clipper, AreaOnareaoverlayer, spatialrelator and intersection) . So, it created a new polygon (the overlap of the two polygon.) The problem is that this new polygon belongs (in the attribute table) to one of the two polygon (The feature name of the new polygon is the name of one of the polygon) but I would like the name of the both polygon even if it created two overlap (the same but one with the name of the first polygon and one witch the second). Thanks you

Hi,   I have to transform a series of points to a line consisting of cubic Bezier curves. I couldn't find a function to do that in existing transformers or the Python API of FME Objects. The Generalizer (NURBfit algotirhm) creates a spline curve, but it's not exact cubic Bezier curves. The expected line has to pass through the both ends of each 3 segments.     So, I wrote the following script. Is this the "re-invention of the wheel"? If you know an existing function (transformer or Python function) that creates cubic Bezier curves based on control points, please let me know.    -----  import fmeobjects   class CubicBezierCurveReplacer(object):     def __init__(self):         self.set_coefficients(32)              def set_coefficients(self, n):         self.n = n         r = 1.0 / float(self.n)         s = range(0, self.n)         self.k0 = [(1.0 - (r * m))**3 for m in s]         self.k1 = [3.0 * (r * m) * (1.0

is there any Geometry smoothing function in FME needs polygons edges smooth  

Hello,  I have some polygons which overlaps and every polygon is a featureI succeeded to have in attributes the name of polygons which intersect the feature (the 1st polygon).Now, I would like to know how can I have the name of the polygon which intersects the most the first polygon. Thank you!
