I have a workspace with an FBX input (file attached) which is essentially a cylinder with oval ends with a few transformations which then writes to GeoJSON. It has a CoordinateSystemSetter transformation applied set to EPSG:6677.When viewing the GeoJSON ouput via Cesium we noticed the cylinder is just slightly out from where it should display.We believe this is due to the origin point not being the center of the cylinder.I have applied the following to try and correct the issue which does look closer:Added a CenterPointExtractor transformer (_inside_[x or y])Added a BoundsExtractor transformerAdded a Affiner transformer which uses results from the above two transformers to attempt to center the point of origin (only interested in the x and y axis). The Affiner is set to:1 0 -(@Value(_xmax) - @Value(_inside_x))/20 1 (@Value(_ymax) - @Value(_inside_y))/2 Any thoughts on the above if I am doing it correctly and how t

An automation that runs frequently on FME Server failed this morning with an error message I can't find any information about. Does anyone know what it means?  AUTOMATIONS writer: Reading FME Server response from channel failed with error number Reading FME Server response from channel failed with error number 392008.. Thank-you,Kathy

I have a point dataset, there is also an attribute with height values.I want to apply a buffer of about 15 metres which will only check which points are nearest. I then want to keep the point with the lowest value in height and only keep this point out of all the points which fall in the 15 metre buffer.How can I go about this in FME Desktop?

The Scaler transformer looks to be the sort of thing I need, but seems to scale the entire feature, rather than just the top face. I seem to remember, years back, a tutorial where 3D features were deconstructed, altered, and re-combined again, so maybe there's a solution that works like that? Thanks.

I am trying to get the KMZ file from the Website and download it to my pc. When I tried to get the file from pc and run the featured reader, I got only two features.  and this when i nnot add on its

I've tried about every combination of Source coordinates I can but nothing is coming out right. If I leave it blank FME just copies the coordinates from the source and doesn't actually reproject anything. Do I need a custom coordinate system for the source?

Hello there I have a Multipointgeometry feature I want to break down to its point component.Thanks  

hi!I have an excel file with 2 colums : on A : the name of the attributeson B : the valuesI don't succeed to create the attributes on FME and to associate the values.I tried with ListBuilder, Exploder, Aggregator, but I don't succeed.Can you help me?Thanks !

MapnikRasterizer fails "Failed to rasterize data. The error was: Image area too large based on image dimensions" due to memory problems according to a post I read in here. The solution was to tile the layer and use groupBy "column,row" but thats not working for me. If I try that I get following errors "no input data for layer..." I know I can change cellSpacing but I really need a high resolution map. One option I can think of is making an oversight map and make a grid where each grid is its own map, but I dont know if I can do that with only 1 mapnikRasterizer. I attach a workspace that kind of resemble my original data, in the workspace you can see that I tiled the map and group by column and row but it fails. Thankful for any help or input.

I'm trying to migrate some python into FME that involves DataFrames as the end result.  Rather than trying to manually handle converting the DataFrame to attributes, I thought I could convert the dataframe to a csv in python memory first,  output it as a file on the feature, and then use a CSV reader in the workspace to parse the file.  I ran into issues with getting the csv out to an attribute, so if anyone knows of a way to do this I'd appreciate it. Below is a simplified version of my code (it involves Esri's ArcGIS API for Python), and then I'm using io.StringIO to handle the csv in memory, but I've never used that function before. When I run the workspace with this as a Python Creator, i get the error: Python Exception <TypeError>: Could not convert attribute value to a supported attribute type.Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 33, in input import fmeimport fmeobjects

Hi,I'm converting different shapefiles to 1 DWG. How can I set the draw order of the layers in Autocad automatically with FME?Thanks!Regards,Pieter

Hello everyone,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly spot of FME news. Training Season is Open!When looking for FME news, I found a lot of training being organized for the near future. But I suppose just after a new FME release really is prime training season. At Safe, we've just released updated content for FME 2022. That includes the trails FME Desktop Basic, and Integrate Data with the FME Platform; plus work is taking place on updating

I am using the GeometryExtractor transformer to extract the geometry as WKT (OGC Well Known Text, version 1.2, precision 64-bit). The geometry is created by FME using the Dissolver, Sorter, Aggregator and GeometryRefiner transformers based on a geometry from ArcSDE Geodatabase - on Oracle DB. Vertices are aligned using ArcSDEGridSnapper and CoordinateRounder, so there are no issues with vertices geometry, as all of them are matching. An example of a WKT created by FME is the following: MULTIPOLYGON (((22.5462822 47.250064,22.5467275 47.25037864,22.546993 47.24920386,22.5468165 47.24918507,22.5463433 47.24908748,22.5460432 47.24890993,22.5459305 47.24885194,22.5455702 47.24880224,22.545533 47.24879591,22.5453175 47.24953065,22.5459866 47.24989446,22.5462822 47.250064)),((22.5493802 47.25255987,22.5494253 47.25113137,22.5494042 47.25081984,22.5494009 47.25078482,22.5487585 47.25060518,22.548664 47.2507213,22.5477242 47.

My team is relatively new to using FME Desktop, so our technical knowledge is limited for troubleshooting issues. We've created a basic workspace with a Reader Feature type, to read Microstation V7 files (IGDS), connected to a Writer feature type to output shapefiles. We've also create a "Master" workspace with a series of Workspace Runner Transformers to pass a few thousand files from multiple directories automatically through the original workspace. The problem that we're having is inconsistent results and outputs from the core workspace.The expectation of the core workspace is to read each layer of the Microstation file, and output it as a shape file. The output of each layer should also be fanned out based on the "IGDS_Basename" and create separate shape files for each layer based on the different geometries within the layer. An example would be layer 19, which contains text, line, point, and polygon as different geometries. In an ide

Hi, I have a list of unique values. Next, I want to search all attributes to see if a value from the list is found in any of the attributes. Without creating a feature merger per attribute.Is that possible?

Hello, I am supposed to solve the following problem with FTPCaller.I need to call ftps://hostname using port 21 (implicitl FTP).  The FTPCaller help says the following: "The transformer will use the explicit mode in the following cases: The URL begins with ftpes: ftpes://hostname/pathThe URL begins with ftps but also sets the port to 21: ftps://hostname:21/path" How can I call ftps implicit with port 21 in FME?It works fine with FileZilla. Thanks, Zoran

Hello Community,I'm working on a project and i need to transform Data from Sqlite (Infraworks) to CityGML so i can then use it for a 3D GIS application.i'm open to all ideas on how i could achieve it or any information related to subject.Thanks,

Hi, can i somehow parse this file? I would need individual codes separated by a hyphen as the values of one attribute, for example the column name will need ICAO and each code will have one row.Thank you very much

I have read polygon features from esri file geodatabase. And then writing them to smallworld. The following errors are observed in translation log and the workbench session is terminated with a failure message. Smallworld Translator Error: The hole is not within a sw:pseudo_areaSmallworld Translator Error: Primitive sw:sector_rope:[1-1].sector failed status 1376267(0,21,11) Too many intersections Is there any way to identify these records before we pass on to writer? Or is there any setting we can choose or process so that FME will skip these kind of features and write log. Kindly help. ThanksSiva Bulusu

 Hello , I have dots and texts in my workspace. My writings must be attached to the point data. In the picture, the correct text in the 1st example is attached to the point data, but in the 2nd example, the text is not attached to the point data, how can I detect the non-adhesive text or point data?

Hi, I'm not sure how to remove lines within a multiline attribute. I have made an attribute by concatenating several features into one attribute (via lists). The problem is that sometimes the lines are blank in the list before I concatenate it. This is because as I'm making my groups of list some of the original lists have say 5 features and others 10. So when I concatenate them together there are 5 blank lines. I have l looked around the community and not really been able to find a solution. This post was the closesthttps://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hfOlSAI/remove-blank-lines-from-an-attribute-values I'm not sure if the string replacer or attribute trimmer would work, but I've had no luck so far. I've attached a picture so you can see what I mean If you cou

I want to convert DGN and extract certain features from the DGN file and then after doing operations on the extracted content of DGN I w again want to visualize. It would be great if anyone can help me with this.

I'm reading an Excel file using the Excel Reader. The reader works well for all fields except one. It consistently marks all the values in a particular numerical column 'Number of meters' (column G of each sheet) as missing. The file is open data but a copy has been attached for convenience: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/lower-and-middle-super-output-areas-gas-consumption
