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 renderThanks ​

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 & CThe 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 regardsJesper 

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 FileB : 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     

Hello,I have a shapefile representing a neighborhood of a city. It contains 455 shapes with one shape per building. Each shape contains multipolygons corresponding to the building walls or little facade elements. Some buildings have common walls but their 3D points are not equal (typically 10 cm distance between them).I would like to group the neighboring buildings and extract their hulls. In other terms, I would like to only keep the multipolygons that constitute the contours of the building blocks.I am a beginner with FME and I have tried many transformes (geometry extractor, bufferer, dissolver, deaggregator, aggregator, hullreplacer) but I could not get what I want.If you have any advice, that would be great!Thank you!

hello i would like to RUN my workbench with a batch file, so i copied the first line of the log but when i try it, it just launch FME with the workbench but he doesn't run it. how could i do that ? thanks charles.

Hello,  I'm currently testing all the workspace I have after upgrading from 2020.2 to 2021.1.3. There is an issue I can't fix. I have a workspace that export data from postgresql base to an excel file. The file can be modified so I have a dynamic feature reader to get the model and a dynamic writer to write the data.In 2020.2 it works (I still have the version on my laptop, until all projects have the same version). With the same data and the same workspace, but using 2021.1.3 version of FME, my file is writen empty ....FME isn't failing but I have 95 warnings :  Feature Caching is ONThe workspace may run slower because features are being recorded on all output ports.Logs_systeme_StatisticsCalculator (StatisticsCalculatorFactory): Attribute 'resultat' has no statistics requested. If statistics are expected for this attribute please ensure that they are selected in the Statistics to Calculate tableExcel Reader: Found named range '_xlnm__FilterDatabase' on she

Hello,question about SSO for FME Server 2020. Is the SAML protocol supported?ThanksRoberto

This is definitely a "New to FME" question. I'm using FME Desktop, FME(R) 2021.2.3.0 (20220131 - Build 21812 - WIN64). When I select "Check for Updates..." an alert says that I new version of 2021 is available with a link. When I go to that web page, I see that 2022.0 is available. Is there is any reason I would not want to upgrade to 2022.0? When I upgrade to 2022.0, will some of my workspaces and transformers need to change? Thanks.

I have a series of user parameters that will display when I use preview but when I run the workspace the last one won't display. I can't see any options where a parameter wouldn't be visible when running the workspace. Is there a limit to the number of user parameters that can be set?

Hello, FME'ers,Welcome to What's Up Wednesday, your weekly look at FME news. Today is May 4th, so it's Star Wars Day - and don't forget you earn a special badge for posting on the community today - or Cinco de Cuatro if you're a fan of Arrested Development (who isn't?) Either way, we're celebrating the release of FME 2022, which became available for download yesterday. FME 2022So FME 2022 is now officially released:  As always, you can find it on our website's downloads page, along with the full list of updates and changes in the ChangeLog file.  I'm sure there are lots of obvious changes, and you know about many of them already. But something I only noticed for the first time today is that the AttributeFilter now allows imports from Feature Caches:   It was something that helped me a great deal, and I hope you find it useful too. Something else new that I'm quite fond of...  The new Start Page with workspace preview image and the ability to &quo

I am updating a table in a database where I must insert, update or change value of one attribute of a record when it is deleted from source (ex: field ISDELETED is changed from N to Y when record is deleted). So in ChangeDetector I am connecting the destination table to "original" port, and new incoming data to revised port.The issue is that the attributes coming to "revised" don't have the same name like the ones from destination table, and I am using in my script a SchemaMapper tomap Source Fields to Destination fields (as the names can change and customer has access to the table used in SchemaMapper only).So because the attributes have different names, I don't think that the ChangeDetector will do it's job correctly. I attached a dummy script and dummy data to this issue.Can you give me some help here? Thanks.
