FME Form

I have set up a workspace which reads in an Excel Spreadsheet whose attributes may change everytime that the workspace is run. As this workspace is part of a larger chain of workspaces I would like to be able to run it without having to reload the reader to ensure that the latest attributes and features are being brought through each time.I have tried setting the 'Scan Schema in Dynamic Workflow' parameter, but with no success. Is there something I am missing?

Hi FME users,  I am looiking for good geometry examples of any corrupted or errors that can / cannot be cleaned with the Geometry validator 2013. I found the following list: https://support.safe.com/hc/en-us/articles/25407709561741-Invalid-OGC-Geometry-Examples which is a perfect start but i would like to be able to hilghlight the following issues at least: http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Transformers/Content/Transformers/geometryvalidator_issues.htm  Does anyone has a complete collection of geometry sample errors?  Thank you.  JP.

When reader is for rvt file and writer is for gltf file, I get model dimensions enlarged 1000x,for example one dimension is 33.000m instead of 33m. Any suggestion how to correct that. Thanks

Hi, I have 2 sets of features (terrain and buildings) that derives from Sketchup source file in coord WGS84 and are read via FeatureReader in to the workspace. When I combine the two features via FeatureHolder and look at visual 2D preview they both have the correct geo-location, . But if I switch over to visual 3D preview the building features seem to get an offset? If I add a Reprojector transformer (having the source coord read from feature WGS84, and destination coord to SweRef 99-18-00) they both line up in both 2D and 3D preview. Any ideas why this is happening? Please see attached image. Thanks. 

I have a feature layer with two tables in ArcGIS Online. It constantly receives new records from Survey123 survey. I'd like to join the tables together in FME them regularly import data to a new ArcGIS Online feature layer (with one table). Is this possible? Are there examples on how to do this? What transformers should I look at? Thanks.

ZMap writers have headers and within that there is zmap_format_name which by default is set to "ZMAP DEFAULT " Is there any way of writing out a different value? Thanks, Glenn

Hello, I am trying to extrude a set of building footprint layer. The building footprint layer is in a 2D shapefile format. Since the dataset doesn't have building height and base height attributes I tried to extract the elevation and building height from point cloud data using Surface draper. I attached the workaround here:  I run the Extruder transformer, but the 3D visualization of the building does not represent how a solid 3D building should look like. The top of the building is not flat and when I click on a feature there are lines inside the building model (seems like it generated multiple edges??). How could I generate a building model that looks somewhat like the Lod1solid building model? What are the correct steps?

I'm trying to extract building footprints from GEOTIFF raster images. I have raster Orthophotos (Aerial imagery), Digital Terrain Model (DTM/DEM) and a Digital Surface model (DSM), but I do not have the building footprints. My end goal is to use the DEM + DSM to extract the height of the buildings and extrude the building footprint to 3D models. I found this article: https://smartcarto.com/gis/detect-buildings-in-satellite-imagery-using-machine-learning-fme-vs-arcgis-pro/, but it doesn't really go into detail, and since I also have DEM and DSM, not just orthophotos I thought I migh thave other possibilties. I've extracted building footprints from Point Cloud date before, but this time I only have acess to Rasters. Is this possible in FME? Is there any tutorials? Thanks in advance.

Hello, we have several 3D buildings that need to be extended downwards. That's why we applied the extruder in conjunction with the terrain model. After that we aggregated the two parts (aggregator). However, then when we turn on the contours, there is the undesirable effect that there is a line between the 3D building and the extruder building part. (see example, highlighted in yellow) How can we remove this line?Or is there another way to extend the buildings downwards?

How to customize error message in Server Apps ?

I have a shapefile that just contains a couple of attributes. Its attribute values need to be mapped to a GML that needs to be of a structure provided by a XSD file. The XSD asks for more attributes than the shapefile provided, but I want the GML still to contain all the attributes, despite that a lot of values are not provided by the shapefile. Which steps do I need to take to convert the shapefile in to this XSD-conform GML?

Hello FME Community, I have been working with batch files and all goes well when my reader and writter are in posgtresql but when my reader is in access(.mdb) file or excel it causes problems,it says that it cannt find the file where the file already exist and the strange things is that it worked once. When i created a new batch with same workflow and same file i get the following error. I seems a problem of url as the \\ are removed but i dont undarstand the cause of it. I'm attaching the .tcl files for the the workbench that works and doesnt work( they are exactly the same apart the name). The file that ends with 22 doesnt work and it has less code than the other one. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, I want to create a raster for each different source_point_id (number of flighline) in a single las file.Do you know how to extract the source point id from the las file in order to generate a raster on the points of the chosen source_id point? thanks you for your help!

We're trying to tap into the Waze's partner hub Traffic Data using their GeoRSS XML feed. The feed downloads fine in Chrome and Postman.It's a simple GET request. But I get the following error in the log. "HTTP transfer error: Unrecognized or bad HTTP Content or Transfer-Encoding" When tested in Curl I had to include the ssl-no-revoke argument to allow it to download (might be caused by our funky certificate store). "The revocation function was unable to check revocation for the certificate." I have "Verify SSL Certificates" set to No in the HttpCaller. Any ideas? Is it related to the ssl-no-revoke? 

I've realized that we can include a template to MS-Word writer (docx). However it seems it only captures formatting from the template. Is there any way that I can populate specific Bookmarks/Content Controls based on their title/tag names with attributes?

I have over 10 list attributes that I need to explode. Setting-up 10 ListExploder in a row seems tedious. Is there another way ?

I have a workspace using several HTTPCallers. These make heavy get calls, that tend to have random errors in FME 2022.0 but only when concurrency is activated (>1). Once it is disabled (=1), it works fine. We have the same errors on version 2021.2.1, but there is no option to enable/disable concurrency. Is there an option somewhere ? We need to use this version as it is the version of our server.Thank you.

Hello, We use an FME Web app to upload a single file to a workspace for subsequent processing. Is there a way to submit multiple files to the workspace at the same time without having to submit them individually ?

Hi folks,If you see this kind of message, you probably set Python variables environment.If you have PYTHON_HOME or/and PYTHON_PATH defined to ArcMap modules and you try to import arcpy from ArcPro module, you will get an issue.You need to remove this global variable and should fix your problem.

So for my research, I am required to combine point clouds and have them side by side with one another to have the entire field we took data from present. Currently, whenever I combine the files they are all on top of one another is there a way to have them side by side?Also in my data, some of the point clouds are at an angle that is not correct since the lidar sensor and drone used took the data in a funky way. Is there a way to adjust the angle so it can be similar to the level with the other point clouds?

I would like to have a python caller execute a task on every attribute of a feature. How can I do this ?

I have flatten xml file, and some data are missed. For example <p>Свободная ёмкость — <b>627 млн.м<sup>3</sup></b>        <span class="up">11</span></p> it should be 627 млн.м, but it skipped and only values 3 and 11 are in place. In xml ex1 i have highlighted items which are missed in xml example.png. Also attached workbench.

Hi, we have 3D polygons inside the database. Now we wanna convert them into Multipatch. Oracle support this kind of geometry.I did it by using FaceReplacer.Inside the 3D polygons we have already some kind of splitter elements (area<0.0xxx). Is there a way like Simplifier or Dissolver to unify these features? That we can eliminate these elements during the process to create Multipatch features.Furthermore it seems that after multipatch generation there are some gaps between the elements:  If the 3D polygon is closed uand after using face replacer it should be closed too right? 

I have an XML geodatabase file that contains all data and his schema(GDB structure) in XSD file format. I want to create a a new GDB using XSD file structure by extracting all data from xml file and import them in the new GDB.

Hi, I need an easy way to split a string at a desired lengt, but I want to avoid splitting words. There once was a WordWrapper but it's not working anymore. Any suggestions?
