Is there a way to truncate a list? For example if I have a list of 30 items but only want the first 10 to be kept. I know I could manually create the list with an attribute creator using _list{0}, _list{1}, _list{2}, etc but just wanted to see if there is a transform or more automated way to do something like this. Regards Dean

Hi there, I have a 3D object in .las format which contains RGB values for each point in the point cloud. The goal is to get this object into an Esri .slpk format and keep the RGB values so the final object is colored correctly. The .las file doesn't have a coordinate system but has relative xyz values; seems like the object is centered at 0,0. When using the CoordinateSystemSetter, it doesn't seem to change the XY values at all. This is just part of the problem. The other problem is when I try to write out to .slpk using the Esri SLPK writer, I get this error: The layer requires triangular mesh geometries. Features whose geometries cannot be triangulated will not be written How do I convert the .las file into a triangular mesh so that it can be written to SLPK? Is this possible? Do I need a different input format? Other options could be .xyz or .pcd for the input file. I haven't really worked in this space before so any guidance for working with 3D would be helpful. Thanks!

Is it possible to prevent FME Server from zipping the temp folders ? My server is zipping the whole temp folder instead of only the output of my FeatureWriter, making it impossible later on for HTTPCallers to access the file I need it to upload. This behaviour is problematic because I access files inside these .zip in later steps of the workspace and it raises errors because it is in a .zip file.

Hi! I´m trying to add an ID column to a GeoJSON file. I use a reader to read data from an Oracle database and then write it down using to GeoJSON writer. I need the ID not to be in the properties-section but as in the example below: https://community.safe.com/s/article/tutorial-getting-started-with-json Thankful for any suggestions on how to do this 😊

I am trying to send the MapnikRasterizer result to HTMLReportGenerator, but directly connecting them doesn't work. So I am using a TempPathnameCreator and FeatureWriter in between to write the png and then send it to the HTMLReportGenerator. However, HTMLReportGenerator can't read the path generated during the test running. FME version: 2021.2 Error: HTMLReportGenerator: Unable to open image file 'D:/FME_TEMP/wbrun_1652070048335_8656/fmetmp_1c/1652075715010_34268_d\\r_2030.png.png'. Please ensure this file exists

Hi, I am trying to use ReplaceRegularExpression as described here: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Transformers/!Transformer_Parameters/StringFunctions.htm To do a simple transformation of Quotes to escaped Quotes in strings. I have the following: @ReplaceRegularExpression(@Value(Description),["],"\\\\""",FALSE) (as the instructions say I need to add quotes and escape the quote in the to expression.) This does not work, but at least does not have errors. If I try to slightly change the syntax of the to expression (eg less quotes) I get serious errors... Any ideas welcome...

Currently I set the projection in the reader for the csv to match the gdb. I then added a Feature Writer transformer for the fanout creating feature classes in a staging gdb. My problem now is how do I get the feature classes the feature writer created back into the workspace so I can then use the attribute manager to map to my final gdb. I tried to use the Feature Reader transformer to add these back but have not been able to figure that out yet.

Hi, I'm trying to start a workspace runner just after a FeatureWriter has finished running, but I am getting a weird error with a '@Tcl2 function': ...WorkspaceRunner_ExecutorAndRouter (TestFactory): An error was encountered evaluating a TestFactory test: An error occurred while evaluating a test parameter: @Tcl2 function requires exactly one argument -- the expression to evaluate.

Hello! I have a set of points representing the location of the tree trunks. I also have a 3D model of a tree that i want to be copied to each of the points locations. And here is the tricky part, I need them to be instanced geometries, so they do not require to much space (and rendering power) when I export to fbx, skp and dwg. I tried to read up on the GeometryInstantiator-node but I must admit, I don't quite follow what it is supposed to do. Is there an example for this availible anywhere or do anyone have a clue? Here is a screendump of my script, but it only manages to place the trees as individual models which creates a 30MB file from copies of a mere 15KB geometry-asset.: Sincerely, Robin Nilsson

I have defined a new published parameter (pp) in an existing FME workspace, which exist as a scheduled workspace on FME Server. When published with the new pp to FME Server, I can see the new PP in the interface of the scheduled workspace on FME Server. However when I use the REST API to get to the scheduled workspace it doesn't recognize the new pp, only the old ones. Just when I open the scheduled workspace on FME Server and click OK, then the REST API can see the new pp. Isn't that a bug of some sort?

Hi FMErs, Has anyone had any experience importing GoCAD ts files into FME using another reader type. It appears that GoCAD is not supported directly in FME, however the geometry of the object/s appear to be 3D triangulated surfaces ? Thanks in advance

Hi I'm using Revit native reader to read Revit 2021 arch project file but having problems with transformers rejecting geometries. E.g. using MeshMerger or MeshSimplifier transformer will result in rejecting all imported geometries. Any hint how to solve this problem? I want to simplify and join geometries before writing to gltf, to get gltf file that's easy to render Thanks ​

I am writing from a csv where all the fields are text. One of these fields contains a date 10/11/2021. I need to load this to a geodatabase that has the field formatted as a date. I need the date to look the same in the field I am mapping to. I have tried many different things and am probably just missing something but I can't get this to work. Attached is what my current workspace looks like. I believe I need to do this in the attribute manager using the dat time format but I am not figuring out how to dot his properly.

When I run this workspace locally, it puts out a .prj file and all is well. The issue only occurs on fme server. there is no prj in the zipped download.

Hi list. I'm trying to convert a DWG in a local system to UTM. I'm using AffineWarper, and has identified 5-6 control points, that seems to work. When viewing the output in Data Inspector, all looks well, but when I output it to a new DWG, and view that in Data Inspector, it's not good at all. All text features are either still in the local system (masquarading as UTM, i.e. at Equator), or someplace else. Only regular geometries are located correctly. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a work-around for this ? Cheers.

Hi, I am working on a project where I need to create a new SharePoint list from PostgreSQL data each year. I have three items that I need to put into my list. Two choices fields (called Company and Indicator) A text field (called Feedback) At first, I used the Sharepoint List Writer but it looks like the properties of the Choice field are not what I want because the Choice field is configured to allow free-form input. And secondly, when the list is created, I don't know how I can write into the Title field (the best would be to make it not mandatory). So, my idea was to use the Sharepoint Rest API to do a PUT request in order to create my customized list, but even with the topics I found online, I am not able to do anything other than GET requests... Anyone can help me on what I need to do to create this list ? Thanks for your help and have a good day, CPTSDN_17.

On 2018 build 18520. Attempting to read in an Esri GDB and get this error This GDB version appears to be working fine in ArcGIS. Is it an FME version issue ? (I'm new to Esri technologies other than shapefiles. Be gentle...

Hello there, ​ I would like to check a dataset attributes. So I would like to write a workspace that can check the incoming dataset. ​ For example, I expect to receive a dataset that has attribute name. My expectation dataset attribute name: A, B & C The incoming dataset attribute name: B, C & D. In this case, I would like to call out attribute A and D. As attribute A is what I expected but missing and D is not the attribute name that I want. May I ask what transformer I should use in this case? Thank you very much. Zachary

I've been able to upload files to the root and to an existing path, I'm wondering if FTPCaller while uploading can create a new file path (directory)? sftp://server.com/newpath/file.txt (newpath does not exist on sftp server) ftp://server.com/newdir/file

Hi, im using neighbor finder in identifying duplicates based on XY. However, my data is stating that +/- of the value is considered as 'duplicate'. For example, stores selling 5 cars is the same with 6 or 9, but will be different if 10. So in this, I have 3 stores considered as duplicate based on their location. So I want to know the nearby data known as duplicate based on these parameters. Hope I make it clear. Is this possible in FME? Thanks in advance!

What I need to do is seperate the table by type. The types can be water, industries, woods etc. All are in the same table in postgis. So what I need to do is to get one outport for each value somehow. Later I will turn these in to raster data with 3dforcer. Can anyone help me? Best regards Jesper

I have been trying to move Point data into the adjacent parcel which is connected to its line via ESRI's Geometric network is not working out. can someone help me get through this?

Hi, Something looks to have changed on the ESRI side on how they are serving out the tiles for the basemap. Im getting alot of 301 blank tiles and have replicated it with Safe on live chat but ended up asking if there is anything else they can help with???? This looks to be a issue but i'm guessing ESRI will say update the library and it works but the functionality is coded into the transformer so should it be Safe? You dont need to do anything special, just add a esri leaflet and preview in browser. Could I ask if anyone else is also experiencing this? Thanks

Hello Experts, I have 3 files A: Point File B : Line file (Street) C : Line file (Street2) I have extracted Street names from the A point file and transferred them to the closest street B. But unfortunately, the street names have been populated to streets within provided distance. This has caused superfluous names to the streets. I need to populate the street name to the streets where the names are missing, but it also should not be available in the polyline file C. Basically i want to identify the superfluous names. Any help would be highly appreciated

Hi All, i am trying to create some statistcis (records counts) on 10 fields in a table. I dont want to use multipule filters if i can avoid it. I want to find out how many rows in the table have valid values such as ie Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) ie Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) ie Diameter <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,) The TestFilter looks promising except the test condtions are If, Else if, Else. I want the test conditions to be IF, IF, IF. ie currenlty the test filter allows IF Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) Else if Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) Else Diameter <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,) i would like it like IF Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) -- port these to statscalc IF Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) -- port these to statscalc IF Diameter <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,) -- port these to statscalc is there another way im missing ? Many Thanks Steve
