Hi, Is there a way to replace curve rings in polygon geometries with vertices along the curve without generalizing the whole geometry. The input is a feature class in a file geodatabase. Thank you for the info! 

Hello, I have a line shape file which is in 2d. I want to drape it on terrain to make it 3d. I have the terrain data of the area which is a .las file.

I got over 380000 polygons of landcover data and I'd like to find out which of them have parts thinner than 0.2 meter and identify where these thin parts are located, so I can fix them.I've tried bufferer, but there's no luck for me, please help me, thanks very much!

We have certain coordinate system transfomation requirements for LLH to grid coordinate conversions that are difficult to satisfy using the available reprojectors.I would like to understand how to build and provide a custom projector to be used in our FME transformation pipelines.

Hi FME Guys I'm struggling with a data situation that occurs frequently in my daily work. When I have a polygon feature it may occur that this polygon is composed from "thin" and "thick" sections. See below a screenshot of such a situation.I'm now looking for a way toidentify affected polygon featuresidentify "thin" sections from this featureremove the thin sections or at least cut them from the "thick" parts.Each solution should keep existing Z-values as I'm dealing with 3D data. Any ideas how to achieve the desired result?

I have an idea about a collection of feature readers and writers (feature reader for DWG can break blocks 1 level. then checking if the entities resulting from that break is geometry ( ill keep the block containing that geometry from before the break) or if its a block (break again). then iterating over that until all i have is blocks that if breaked/exploded only consists of meshgeometry.  I would like to hear some feedback on this idea.

Hallo! I'm trying to set the folders in the zip-file for my data download service, as discribed in this question It works the first time I set the folders. But when I need to do a change in the zip-file order, the value of the 'Path to zip-file' are 'stuck'. Even if I edit them, they go back to the value they were initially set to. How do I get around this? Best regardsKicki M

I am trying to merge a set of tiles into a geopackage file. The sources have different geometries and schemas. The string transformers are beacuse the sources have (4) unique characters in the beginning that need to be removed in order to do the merging. I have successfully used a similar workspace to merge tiles into shapefiles in the past. This time all is well until I try to write the new file. There are quite a few errors reported but the geist of them seems to be: "OGCGEOPACKAGE writer: No definition found for input feature type 'NNNNNN'. Ensure that fme_template_feature_type is not set incorrectly and that the feature type name is valid". Any ideas on how to resolve this? 

Can FME be used for secondary development in winfrom? There are secondary development tutorials

I use this guide to add the date to my output file and foldernames:https://community.safe.com/s/article/including-dates-into-the-names-of-output-files-or Works like a charm but slows down my fme with large datasets. Now I don't need the DateTimestamp in my data, only in the filename. So I wonder if there is a way to re-use one DateTimestamp for more than one output.All the outputs use the same WriterAll outputs have a different inputI don't need the datetimestamp in the data Small test model how it is now (and works):How I would want it (but doesn't work like this):The second version is 40% faster than the first...

What I want to achieve is:colour is split into list attribute colour{}nationality is split into list attribute nationality{}status is split into list attribute status{}size is split into list attribute size{}shape is split into list attribute shape{}etc. in one go. Thanks for you help

Trying to calculate distance (Have been using nearestneighbour) but now require were we have a set of points in table 1 and a set of area features in table 2.We need to calculate the distance from each point to the nearest area feature but not its centroid, the requirement is to find the distance from table1 point to the nearest edge or vertex of an area feature from table 2 happy to hear ideas on how to do this thanks

Hi. I have a XSLX files with a column with path value ( value exemple: file:///\\\\common\\Environnement\\SIG - GIS\\Sondages\\Log_Sondage\\01-17_a_TR-20-17.pdf). It's possible to valide if the path adress is valid ? I have more 2500 path to validate. Thank you.

Hi all, I currently have drone imagery where i have 500 images but each image is 500mb in size. I have ArcGIS pro and FME desktop but need to combine the images then publish it to ArcGIS Enterprise. I also need to reduce the image size, then combine and also to set the coordinates to local area. Can anyone recommend what steps i can do this, would be really appreciated as i am struggling to understand where to get started and have many limitations due to the size of the file.

when i change the Default line width to 0.6 in feature wirter ( adobe geospatial pdf in Feature writer ) ,i found it changes for all layers . i would like to change only for one layer and others still has the same width of lines .How could i achieve it ?i need only to change paramter of width of lines in one layer without effecting other lines at other layers . my workspace : i have different lines ,with different colors and i would like to increase the width line with green color that i show in pdf output and others still have the same line width in pdf output .Thanks in advanceFME 2018  

Is there a way to test if my incoming lines/polylines have measures attached before I use the MeasureExtractor? If the incoming feature does not have measures - MeasureExtractor fails. I tried GeometryValidator, but this lets the features pass if all vertices do not have a measure.

Hi!  I would need to prepare a FME-based flow doing more or less what the "Erase" tool of ArcGIS is doing. As there is no equivalent transformer (correct me if I am wrong), I use a Clipper transformer as shown in the attached workspace. How could the process I came up with be run in an acceptable amount of time (close to the 25 minutes of ArcGIS Erase tool) while preserving the attributes of the layer being erased (which ArcGIS does by default)? Indeed for many projects we need to recuperate a lot of information from those specific roads in order to create them with all the required attributes. Preserving these attributes in the process will have a significant impact on performance (I stopped the process when it was already running more than an 1 hour). Even preserving only the Id and then using later on a FeatureMerger in order to join the original attributes to the remaining roads (after clipping) results in a lengthy processing time (1 hour 19 minutes with FME 2014 sp3 64-

Hi there,Here's a conundrum for all you wonderful conundrumers...!Background: I have a BASE.FMW that reads a list of names and runs a Workspace Runner for each name. Before it does, it writes out a quick message using the MessageLogger and the 'WARN' flag to the logfile I have set up. Each call to the WSR takes some time to run. The log line in the translation line and the log file looks like this:2021-08-20 14:37:30|  4.3| 0.0|WARN |Processing 3 Named: Town of Comox... Back to the Present: I am building a PYTHON standalone script using fmeobjects.FMEWorkspaceRunner().runWithParameters(BASE.FMW, myparams) to run the BASE.FMW and it runs fine and produces the correct results, including the log file. My conundrum: the LIVE feedback in python from fmeobjects is non-existent. I would like to get those 'WARN' log lines from the logger AS IT IS WRITING THEM so I can give my python user some indication that something, anything, is happening. Right now, the .runWithParamete

Hi FME'ers,Here's a recap of what has been happening in the world of FME recently. It's actually quite a lot! Sporks vs SocksOK, let's handle this first. Which is better: FME Socks or FME Sporks?   I posted this question as a poll on Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Debate was fierce:  But in the end, on both LinkedIn (52%-48%) and Twitter (65%-35%) our users came down in favour of FME Socks!  Controversially, Safe employees were 60%-40% in favour of sporks! Crazy. If you'd still like to have your say, head on over to the FME Subreddit where the poll will be open for another day or two, and where you can tag yourself with either Sock or Spork flair! New ArticlesOn the Safe blog this week we have a new article about Infrastructure Asset Management. According to the article, the four main challenges: Complying with standardsCreating a unified data modelData delivery and sharingProcess automation Obviously, those are all well within FME's capabilities, especially whe

Hello everyone! I have a question regarding information security in server applications. Is it possible to perform 2-step verification for apps with sensitive Data? There is of course the access using a username and password that I set. Is it possible to do another step for verification via email, for example?Thanks!

The workspace tries to read a CSV from internet and write a feature class in a geodatabase. I am trying to use this workbench with a remote desktop machine, which has all the licenses needed installed. Just a note, the workspace works perfectly well in local when not using the remote machine.  It also works when using Open API geodatabase writer or shapefile writer. I though it may be a licensing issue, but then the workspace works when you run it from the beginning to the join and then from the join to the end, instead of running the entire workspace. So I though maybe it was the temporary storage failing, so I changed the temporary files storage folder but the same error appears. BTW, the error is very generic "Error running translation" so I do not know what else to do. I would appreciate any help to solve this issue. Right now I've split the worspace in two, one to read and download the CSV file in the remote machine, and another to read the CSV from the remote machi

We are trying to automate updating the metadata on feature classess, in particular at the level of the Entity and Attribute Information level for the fields in our feature classes.I have tried both methods of updating from an XML file or directly from the file geodatabase as metadata, but I can't seem to expose the information down to the field level of XML detail.We are basically trying to update the Definition & Definition Source of all attribute fields in the feature class from an table. see highlighted area below to show help explain.Is there something simply I am missingThanks  

Is it possible to set up the spatialRelator, or other transformer, to identify a relationship where the features touch along an edge rather than at a point. I know I can set the spatialRelator to Calculate the Cardinality of Intersections, and then filter the _relationships{} list to remove any elements where _relationships{}.card_line = 0, but that is non-trivial (ie python), and then recalculate the _related_suppliers attribute, but I'm hoping there is a less involved option.
