FME Form

I am using the OffsetCurveGenerator for two line segments . One is red, the other turquoise on the picture. I am using an interpolation angle of 22.5, corner style : round. You can see the result for two different offsets for the left side on the picture, the one in green is 2, the blue one 1. Why is an offset of 1 generating two line segments which are continuous and not intersecting while an offset of 2 creates intersecting segments ? How can I create the result for an offset of 2 which looks like the one of offset 1? If it is not possible, how can I modify the current result of offset 2 to look like the one of 1 ?

Hi all,I have a workspace that has an Emailer transformer where the Email's body is the customed HTML_content. This works fine with FME desktop 2020.2 (build 20787-win64) but failed with FME Server 2020.1.1. (build 20608-win64).The error message was: Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'fmepy_emailer'I wonder if this is because of:incompatibility between 2 versions (2020.2 vs 2020.1.1)?or is it because the FME server doesn't support the Emailer transformer?At the moment, upgrading FME Server isn't an option for me.I have tried the Email function in the Automations of FME Server but it doesn't have an option for me to include HTML content in the Email's body but rather an HTML attachment - this means every time I will have to click the attachment and it will be opened in a browser.Any suggestion? Many thanks! 

I have been having trouble with a particular IFC. All I am trying to do is read it in but it keeps causing FME to crash with no expanation. At first I was trying to open it using FME Data Inspector, however the whole application would close - always at "caching 829 features". I have since tried to open each Object type separatley in FME Desktop and I have found that it is an element in the IfcWallStandardCase that is causing this problem but the only error I am getting is "Error running translation" so it is difficult to know where to go from here. Is there any reason why this might be happening?

Hi,I have a couple of questions regarding migration of GlobalID’s from a source table (reader is a SQL creator) to be written into an existing ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) table (destination). 1st question:The destination table has the GlobalID field but all the values are zeros (see image below), does this seem correct? 2nd question:Do I need to expose the GlobalID attribute in the workflow and then attempt to copy those GlobalID’s from the source table to the destination table (using a writer) in the workflow or should the “Preserve Global: Yes” parameters ensure that the incoming GlobalID’s will be preserved from the source table and embedded into the destination table? I can run the FME script to run successfully however I cannot get the existing GlobalID’s from the source table to be written into the destination table, FYI each feature is linked by another attribute. I have tried copying using transformer and writers and I have also tried using the “Preserve GlobalID: Yes” by i

I am pulling the transformation metadata using the API call GET /transformations/jobs/completedand would like to trace each transformation back to a specific run/event of an automation. In other words, I just don't want to know which automation ran the transformation, but I also want to group those transformations by a specific date and time that the automation was triggered. In looking through the metadata provided, I am not seeing an obvious way to do that. Thanks

Hello, i'm new to FEM. ​ I have a problem about changing the storage locationWhen the software FME Date Inspector reads the data, the data appear to be temporarily stored in this file. Is it possible to change this path?I have not much space on my c drive, and i got a very huge data, for the remaining space of my c drive, it is not enough to support the software to read this data

I would like to create a TIN from DEM (.TIFF or .DEM). I would be grateful if you could tell me which Transformer and Writter can be used.  

Hello, I would like to get the value that comes from a Counter transformer through the Initiator input in a SQL Executor transformer, to make a query that uses this number Here is my request: FME_SQL_DELIMITER ;alter sequence cajxg_CE_sequence increment by '@Value(COUNTER)'; I tried or without the quotes, I also tried using TO_NUMBER and if I replace my attribute by a number, it works But when I perform the query I get the error ORA-01722 (Invalid Number) When I try to do a select with this attribute, it works Thanks,

Can't wrap my head around the following reformatting problem. My data looks like this:Pointid substance1 substance2 substance3...1 value 2 3I have a lot of columns in the original data, almost 200 different substances. I would like to achieve the following structure (below) where Substances attribute contains all values of 200 substance columns and is exploded for each Pointid. So basically every Pointid is replicated for each substance and values column have the value of each substance. I've tried multiple combinations of transformers but without result. Pointid Substances values1 Substance1 value1 Substance2 ...1 Substance32 Substance12 Substance2...

If I leave them blank I get an empty string inserted into my database (postgis) - I really want Nulls

fme_polygon covert with FaceReplacer, then with GeometryCoercer convert to fme_mesch. Why MeshSimplifier feature put to Rejected port with code invalid_mesh?

To whom may concern, We are currently trying to upload a 6GB obj mesh model to cesium ion, but errors showed up when retrieving the model. The mesh model was created from Reality Capture. As suggested by cesium team , we are looking for a way to tile the mesh or chop it up into small pieces. FME seems to be capable of doing this, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that. An ideal result is attached below. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Hello everyone, So I have a dataset and need to validate "Hour" format that is in OSM Opening Hours specification.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours/specification I found a web site that have a lot if implemetation formats.https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:opening_hours#Implementation However, I am not good at programming that I am not sure how to put it in FME for my checking. It would be awesome if someone could give me a hand. Thank you so much! Zach

Hi, I want to overlap to my building and roof. I added one photo. 1(building) will go to 2 (roof). I know extruder transform. But also which transform can I added. Because it s not enough. This are .shp format.

in the original some initial alread had periods, but i already removed them with a stringreplacer. Any leads on how to tackle this are welcome. Luuk

How to submit a surface to Orientor? Since every triangle must be rotated.

Hello everyone, I have two data set (let say floors and units geometries). I use "Spatial relator" to find out if they are equal. I am sure there are some of the data that might be slightly different. So is there any way that I can set a tolerance, say within 0.1m? Thank you very much.

Hope someone can help, I'm missing a lot of buttons in my workbench suddenly. I was working on a workbench yesterday, everything was fine. Today I open the same workbench, and the hover-over menu is missing from all the readers/writers and transformers. I need to click on a transformer and it will appear, but the RUN button is missing!  I can only run the entire workspace from the main menu, I can't select and run, and I can't run to/from. So I just ran the entire workspace from the top ribbon menu, and it worked, but now I am also missing the magnifying glass buttons (inspect feature cache)!!!  Help. How do I get my hover over menu back (including the run buttons) and how do I get the inspect feature cache boxes back. Thanks!

I'm looking to export point locations from FME as a .kml file and I want to remove the labels. I don't think there's an option to turn off labels for points, but you should be able to set the opacity to 0 (I've done this many times before in Google Earth). However, in FME, after I've exposed the kml_label_opacity attribute and set it to 0, the label will still appear when I open the exported .kml file. What am I doing wrong here?

Welcome to What's Up Wednesday. 2022 Sneak PeeksThe series of FME 2022 sneak peeks continued yesterday as Olivia from the geometry team demonstrated the new SolidDissolver transformer and updates to the Tiler:  Next up on the schedule is a demo of the SchemaScanner transformer. With me will be Mark Stoakes, one of our FME Application Experts.  2022 World TourSo registrations for the World Tour are open with both Safe and our partners. I've been clicking through to the virtual partner events and signing up for any events where I think I can overcome any language barrier! I'll be sure to tune in and report everything here. Hub DigestThe FME Hub monthly digest is a great way to keep up-to-date with both Safe and user-submitted content. This month there are four new transformers and a template.  To cover how you use these, for transformers, you just need to type the name into Quick Add in FME Workbench:  DatasetValidator looks to be potentially very useful and is another exampl

After upgrading FME Workbench to 2021.2.1 our arcgis pro 2.9 environment doesn’t cooperate well anymore with Python 3.7+ scripting.  For example, for some of our FME services we’ve installed Geopandas, which worked fine with ArcGIS Pro<2.6 and FME <= 2021.0, but not anymore with FME Python 3.7 and ArcGIS Pro 2.9. To fix this we’ve tried several things with a dummy script (attachment):FME ESRI ArcGIS Python 3.7 (Python compatibility ESRI ArcGIS Python 3.7) succeedsClone ArcGIS Pro 2.9 with Scripting compatibility FME ESRI ArcGIS Python 3.7 succeedsClone ArcGIS Pro 2.9 with geopandas>0.8 and Scripting compatibility Python 3.7 executed in FME Workbench failsClone ArcGIS Pro 2.9 with geopandas>0.8 and Conda forge Numpy 1.20.3 executed in a Conda python prompt succeedsHow can we have a ArcGIS Pro 2.9 environment with Geopandas working smoothly together with FME Python 3.7 in FME Workbench?

I want to check the header for information in a manual validation step for a xml/gml file. But it does not seem possible to extract the header information using the xmlFlattener for examle, just the dataset. Is it possible to extract certain keys from the header? I want to check for the encoding tag for validation.
