FME Form

Hello!I'm trying to create a point layer from a set of photos in .heic format. I can see in the photo metadata via Windows 10 file explorer that the photos were taken with GPS on and the coordinates are stored in the EXIF data.I'm wondering how I can use FME in order to create a point layer (and save as a .shp for example) using the coordinates found in the photos, and then attach the photo to each point in the point layer.From what I can see, there is a transformer that can create such a point layer from .jpeg photos but there doesn't seem to be a similar one for .heic.Does anyone have any advice?Thanks!

I have multiple lines and corresponding two point for each line. I want to trim those lines by keeping segment between two points. I have tried pointOverLine which does segment the line but I am having difficulty eliminating remnant.

It seems straightforward enough using the PointOnRasterValueExtractor. The problem is it is only grabbing one value and putting that in all the points. I am guessing that the secondary files with the tiff may hold that 'value,' but I am unsure. The last screenshot shows the data doing it the slow way through ESRI's geoprocessing tools. Any help would be appreciated.

I need to create one list of user names that are in multiple attribute fields.

As the title says, is it possible to creating multiple 2D Min/Max boxes with one creator? Or do I need to have multiple creators, one for each box/ string of coordinates?

Dear FME community, Within a workspace that uses a specific view for reading a revit file, we have found that not all feature types that are present within the specified view are read by FME server. On desktop (using the same version and same workspace) it does automatically read all feature types.  At first we tried leaving the 'feature types to read' option empty, which made this difference visible within the log and output files. Secondly we tried adding all possible feature types to read to the reader, however this also did not fix the issue. Does anyone else have a similar problem and a possible solution? Maybe the cache is used differently on desktop vs server?  Added some log images of the feature types read by desktop (6 feature types read) and server (stops at 3th feature type read). server: desktop: Edit: After adding a featureholder after the readers, all feature types are read by both desktop and server.

Hi All, I'd like to split our entire road network into 5 groups. Each group would cover approximately the same total length i.e. (Total length of all roads)/5The roads in each group would be spatially clustered/grouped togetherIdeally i would not be snipping any road segments I've tried to accomplish this by using the PointClusterer and feeding in the roads center points or 10m interval points but when merging the cluster points back to roads, the grouped distances are too varying.  Is there a better approach to this? Thanks

I have created a 3D model which shows a 'radiation zone' I created this from REVIT > FBX which will ultimately become a KML/KMZ. I have looked at Styling the edges within the Authoring software ie Revit, but that's a non starter.  Is there any way that FME can 'style' the edges of this 3D model on writing to KML ?  Many Thanks, please see my other question regarding the rotation of this object.  

Hi AllI Have the following datasets, DTM, DSM and Colour Infared, and am trying to extract trees over 3 metres in height from the data.I know that i can subtract the DTM from the DSM to give me the height difference but can not see how to have only the raster cells over 3m, nor can i see how to extract the polygons from the imagery.If anyone has any suggestions on how to do this then please comment.  

I have 1 dataset with many overlapping features. These overlaps tend to have a different feature name. I have been given a list that tells me which name takes priority over the other. I want to find the overlaps and then just carry through the areas that take priority. For instance ancient woodland trumps everything. Building footprints trump everything else. Wetlands and pumping stations trump grassed areas.  I have started with an AreaOnAreaOverlayer, generating a list (OverlapAttributes), AreaCalculator, Counter and Tester, where the _overlaps > 1. I've then added a ListExploder.  Where the '_area', '_count' and '_overlaps' are the same, I want to only take the feature with the highest priority name. Am I going about this the right way?I'm a lost as to where to go from here! Attached is some test data and my workbench so far. Thank you!

Hello All, very new to FME, at this moment, I'm generating some nice 3D models converting FBX to KML. The purpose of these is effectively creating a 'radiation' zone. Are there any clever tricks in FME for creating some sort of line/boundary/something when the edges of that KML intersects with a 3D Building in Google Earth? I think this is one of these things where someone says 'absolutely' or 'actually, that's a really good idea! '  Thoughts very much appreciated! TIA  Colin....

I have a dataset with attachments using ArcGIS online and would like to download the pictures associated to a certain Field in the spatial dataset. Each attribute(row) usually comes with 1 or 2 pictures and the bulk download in ArcGIS has meaningless filename for the pictures.I would to use one of the attribute field names for the photo filenames. E.g. UNITID_0001_photo1UNITID_0001_photo2UNITID_0002_photo1UNITID_0003_photo1

I am new to FME and this is my first post. I am trying to create a workbench that will search through hundreds of windows folders and convert pdf to tiff images. I have tried the ImageRasterizer with no luck. Is this even possible? Thank You

Hi. I'm trying to get a single output from these two sources:County Assessor Parcel BoundariesSurveyed Parcel Boundaries The goal is that, if the parcel is in the Surveyed Parcel Boundaries layer, we use its shape. If not, we keep the County Assessor layer shape. Only some of our records are in both sources. Some are in one and not the other. Which transformer would be best for this scenario, and how would I go about setting it up? Thanks!

Hello everyone.Apologies for the lack of what's up Wednesday last week. It just means there is more to share this time! FME Community SurveyAre you a member of the FME Community? By "community" I don't just mean this particular site; it could be any site where FME is discussed, such as Twitter, Slack, Reddit, or YouTube even.  Basically, if you talk FME or interact with any other users online, I'd be really grateful if you took a survey on the current state of the community. I'm working on improving our community offerings, and this survey will help to guide much of what I'm doing. The survey is available online until October 1st, 2021. Thanks 🙂 Recent TweetsOn the subject of community, I wanted to give a shoutout to Safe partner Red Geographics, who are celebrating their 17th anniversary today.  So congratulations to Community Champion Hans and his team for their excellent FME work. Also on Twitter, partner IMGS mentions their upcoming FME Intelli

Hello FMEers,Here's your weekly look at what's new in the world of FME. Community UpdatesA very nice and just-released update to the FME online community is a reputation leaderboard:  It covers the top 100 users, excludes Safers, and lets you sort by Rank, Level or Reputation. Thanks to Fahad at Safe for implementing this. I think there are more updates to come and I'm really looking forward to them. On the subject of community, thank you to everyone who has taken our community survey so far. The information is going to be a great help in moving us forward.  If you haven't taken it yet, it takes about 10 minutes you can find it online here. New ReleaseToday we release FME 2021.1.2 (build 21627). I don't see any changes in the ChangeLog (What's New) file, so I looked at our developer logs and I see fixes for: composite tests in the Tester (valid tests flagged as invalid) a crash that was exhibited by the LogWriter hub transformerreplaced geocoder with a hub pack

Hi,I have used the online tool to create a custom coordinate system. I use the WKT, where among other parameters, the ellipsoid is defined:........SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,........ I also select GRS80 as elipsoid in here : I unzip the generated files at the "FME" folder inside the "Documents" folder, as stated:  But when I go to the "Reprojector" transformer and search for my new custom coordinate system, I see that there is no defined ellipsoid:   So, when I run the process, there is an error:   What is going on?Thanks!                         

Hello, I am trying to create a workspace for doing a batch identification of information contained in tables within some pdf files, the thing is that the pdf also contains some other information as text, so I am a little bit confused on how to achieve that, and also if it will work with different tables, because the dataset I have was made by multiple authors so they are different tables on each pdf. I am wondering if it would be better to use a external application or a PythonCaller to achieve that, but before trying that out I would like to confirm first. I am attaching a sample pdf of my dataset so you can see the table that is in it. Thank you!

Hi,Is it possible to have FME modify the schema of an existing table? Say I have a table with name mytable and attributes attr1, attr2 and attr3, coming from the import of an external dataset. A new version of the dataset contains a new attribute, or the data type of an attribute changes from char to int or so. We do not want to drop and recreate the table, since quite a load of triggers, user rights and stuff is dependent on the table. Basically we want to truncate the table to the new schema. Is that doable in FME, has anyone experimented with that?  I guess I could use something like SELECT   *FROM   information_schema.columnsWHERE   table_name = 'mytable' (we use Postgis), check the results and compare them to the new version of the dataset, and if differences, generate and execute the necessairy ddl statements by FME, but I'm not sure if we should go that way.

Hello,I am trying to generate centerlines from IFMEDonuts/Polygons derived from CAD floor plans. The majority of these lines are fine, but there are a handful of instances where it ignores the shape of the polygon or creates an anomaly.  I understand that it does not bring the line all the way to the bounds of the polygon (maybe a setting in the next version? hint hint). This might account for a few of these issues, but not all. Here are a few screenshots with problem areas circled in blue:Any ideas? UPDATE: I was able to resolve a few of them by Intersector, Chopper, HorizontalAngleCalculator, Rounder, then TestFilter any lines not orthogonal. I also used the SmartCleaner to extend, join lines against the polygon, then Smartcleaner again on just the centerlines, but set Extend to 0 and Overshoot to 6. This cleaned up most of the anomalies, but the areas ignored by the centerline and others remain. Ultimately, I think CenterlineReplacer needs an update, but any workarounds in the m

Hello, I am trying to create a workflow in order to transform a dwg to a cityGML file and later to import it into a 3D citygml database. https://ometv.onl https://chatroulette.top https://omegle.wtf https://bazoocam.cam I have tried to find an example online doing something similar but I had no luck. I wanted to ask if something like this is possible with FME and if there is an available example to get a first impression of how to implement it. thanksalexsunny

Hi everyone, I have set up a simple dynamic workspace that reads a shapefile, reproject coordinates and write a shapefile. This should be a general porpouse workspace indipendent of the source schema dataset, but the output dataset contains all the attributes of the input dataset plus the attributes of the dataset I used to develop the workspace (and I don't want them). Could it be a bug of the shapefile writer? If I use a geopackage writer, instead, everything works fine. Thanks.

I have balcony drawings as attached files two sample data. I want to calculate the thickness of the balconies as seen in the picture. is there a transformer for that?

I have several sketchup files. I need to merge those files into single file. I am new to FME. can someone suggest easy way to do this?
