FME Form

Hello, for some reason, I'm unable to find EPSG: 6428 on FME Desktop when using the reprojector transformer. Is it considered a custom PCS? if so, how can I add it?

Anyone else have an issue where you aren't able to copy and paste transformers? I'm on FME 2021.1.1.0 (Build 21619), running on MacOS Big Sur 11.6. I did run a system update yesterday, which may be contributing to the problem, but I'm not sure what to do about it. As a workaround, I'm going to use 'Duplicate' but it would be nice to have copy and paste back. I will never take my clipboard for granted again. 😁

the current converter version is just for 2019 Revit, we are in 2021. Can we have the FME converter for this 2021 version or the update

Hi All,I’m new to FME and trying to convert dgn(V8) to GIS data. One of the parameters I want from the dgn is the level overrides symbology (such as color, style and weight) which shown in the attached image. I have checked the reader format attributes but with no luck on it. Anyone knows how to get those parameters from dgn? Many Thanks! 

Hi, I'm currently trying to create a line between my lines. As you see in the image, I would like to create a line in the middle of the lines that respect the angle of that group. I've tried to select the longer line of the group and move it to the center point of the group with the offsetter, but it only "offset" the line and not move to the specify coordinate. Thank you in advance

Hi I want to know why this happens so I can correct it in the feature. I attached the example file "Excel" containing only one row so you can test for yourselfs.  In Excel both coordinates have comma. When I use Excel Reader in FME it changes only attribute value for attribute aa to a dot. But for bb its still a comma.This is maybe why I cant create a point using vertex creator, even tho I use string-replacer to change both values to dot or comma it refuses to create a point. This happens fairly often so It would be nice to know what cause this issue and how I

Hi everyone, I just started out using FME Desktop for my job. I am trying to find out how it would be possible to use group by based on a combination of attributes. The example is just something I thought of, so not based on real data. Initially, the source data in this imaginary case would just have an overview of all the shops. First, I would like to have an overview of the amount of shops per mall. So first I have to group by based on which mall the shop does belong to. Thereafter I would like to group by based on what type of shop it is. E.g. Clothing store, ~department store etc. So for example from the 100 shops that belong to mall A 10 are clothing stores for example , 4 restaurants e.g. i tried it with the StatisticsCalculator, however when I put put all these attributes in the group by field, I don't get the result below. Instead of grouping first on the type of mall and thereafter looking at the type of shop, all attributes are considered in t

Dear FME community, I have an important question concerning the FME workbench. I would like to know how one can extract the coordinates of the intersection-points of a line intersecting an area (a mesh with poligons). The coordinates of the intersection-points should have a maximal precision.  To give you some more information about my problem I have attached some screenshots.  here you can see a part from my workbench. Basically I just want to somehow combine the mesh and the lines and then extract the intersection points.   here you can see the lines I was talking about above and the 3d-mesh. Now each line intersects the mesh at some point. I want to receive

I have a task where I need to extract data from a database and save it as a csv in SharePoint I had hoped to b able to specified the path to the SharePoint folder in the csv writer, but this does not seem to work.  The error I get is CSV writer: Failed to open file 'HTTP:\\\\projectzone.tnad.tasnetworks.com.au\\business-projects\\iap\\TE\\HVDC Cable Specifications\\SATVUE_99021037_2021_08.csv' for writing.

If the file already exists, please ensure it is not open in another application I am using FME Server and the FME Server service account has permission to write to this location.

HiI generated a CityGML model in LOD 4 with its respective appearance using AppearanceSetter. I am trying to load the model to Cesium Ion but it loads without appearance. Can anyone help me with some idea to solve this issue.

I have an existing ArcSDE table with several fields but there is one field called 'state' that has no value. I want to assign the value 'NY' to this field with no conditions, so all records should have the field 'state' with a value 'NY'. I can do this in ArcMap or using SQL, but when I try it with FME using the Feature Writer it does not update anything to that field. I have an Attribute Manager that sets the value 'NY' to the state field, I then connect it to the FeatureWriter Feature Operation: UpdateTable Handling: Use ExistingUpdate Spatial Column: No Row Selection:Columns: state FME Desktop 2019 Thank you.

Below software were installed...ArcMap & Arc Catalogue 10.8 with ArcFM 10.8.1ArcGIS Pro 2.864Bit Background Geoprocessing toolsFME 64Bit 2021.1.2 Build 21627 Data has been restored using SQL Server 2016 in server and I tried to add the writer using ArcSDE Geodb in client workstation. After selecting the writer format and entering all the required parameters and last by selecting the feature class name, neither writer is added nor error is prompted in FME environment. On the other end, I'm able to add feature class in ArcMap and add features but I'm not able to add feature class in ArcGIS Pro. Can someone suggest what is missing in my process... Thank you

Suppose there are some features in different state, I want those features to be written like that: ABC_STATENAME_DATETIME.xls.,, so that all the features for a particular state are written in a separate file with datetime and all features in other state are written in other file like that. I tried using attributevalue and datetimeformat in feature writer but it was taking too much time because datetime was being calculated for million for features that were coming in. I just want it to be a 1 file with a final timestamp, not multiple. Any easy/fast way?

My first question is regarding the GeographicBufferer. There is a documentation page here on this transformer but I cannot find it in the FME Workbench (2021.0.3.0). Has this transformer been removed and/or its functionality incorporated into the regular Bufferer ? I was hoping the GeographicBufferer would be able to correctly handle the buffering of polygons across the antimeridian (180° E/W). The Bufferer seems to have a problem if the buffering crosses the antimeridian. Does anyone have an idea how to handle this case - maybe with additional transformers?  Attached please find a zipped geojson file which contains the coverage polygon of a navigational chart.

Hello Community, I need to write objects in a versioning complex feature class, but FME gives me the following error: An error occurred while attempting to store a row into the table 'UTARC.FCL_S_MESSPROJEKT'.

Hi everyone, I am experimenting with using the new BIM360 Docs transformer on Desktop to search trough a specific folder and download some files. The first step I want to perform is to use the list command in the transformer to get a list of available files so I can find the id of the files I actually want. Unfortunately I cannot get the list command to actually work. I can browse through my Hub, Project and Project Folders so I think the connection is working correctly. I have also tried the download command which is working correctly and letting me download a prespecified file. I am using FME Desktop 2021.1.0.0 and the workbench is a simple creator with Null geometry which is connected to the BIM360 Docs transformer. Action is set to List, I can select both the Hub, Project and Folder and the include subfolders is set to No. I have currently set the 'Attributes to add' to empty but this doesn't fix the error. The Error in the

Hi! I need to thin out a uniform(?) point cloud where the points are spaced out evenly, the result should also be spaced out evenly. I tried the PointCloudThinner but it does not seem to do what I want. See attached pictures. The circled objects are the ones that need to be removed. I Hope I explained the problem clearly enough😊

Hello everyone,It's time for a weekly look at the latest FME news... FME AR UpdatesThe FME AR apps have recently had new versions released. FME AR Android v1.2 (1.2.0.13) is now available in the Google Play Store and FME AR iOS 1.7 (1.7.0.53) is now available in the Apple App Store.  So what's new? Well, you can find that information in the app store notes, but the biggest change seems to be in the format itself. The format at the core of FMEAR files was OBJ, but that's now changin
