FME Form

Anyone who knows a way to convert STEP-files (.stp) using FME? I cannot find a reader for this format, closest one is IFC I guess. The format is ASCII-based so maybe there is some workaround using other readers/transformers?

I am using FME Form 2021. I have a table with vehicles listed by department.  Vehicle 1234 Department 1Vehicle 4532 Department 1Vehicle 5645 Department 2Vehicle 8472 Department 3 When a new record (example: a vehicle) is added to the table, I want an email to be sent only if the new vehicle is associated with a specific department. For example, Vehicle 6577 is added to the table and is associated with Department 3; thus, an email would be sent notifying the recipient that a new vehicle has been added. However, if the vehicle is associated with Department 1, then no email would be sent.  What Transformer(s) that would trigger the email do you recommend I use to achieve this? It sounds like ChangeDetector could be an option, but I am only using a single table.

Hi, I have a time format like below (hh:mm:ss) and I want to round seconds as below. What is the best option to achieve this? 00:00:22.464 > 00:00:2200:01:22.825 >   00:01:23Thanks in advance for your feedback. 

Hello, I have a REVIT file which contains some cylindrical objects (e.g. pipes) and when I convert the model to cesium, it creates hexagonal shaped pipes instead of cylindrical ones. Is this intentional or can I bypass this behaviour somehow? NOTE: The Revit model is offset according to it's Reference Point. Also, the Data Inspector shows the cylinders correctly where it is an aggregate geometry with with many many IFMEFaces. 

Hi folks!I am torn as to what workflow to use between FME and python. I am more comfortable with FME so hopefully FME would be the winner here.The workflow I am trying to achieve for the business user is to have a GIS editable feature layer containing field summaries translate into a docx with a table template (ideally with the same attributes as the GIS feature layer).A sample of the table template in the docx is below:Any time a new field summary project gets entered into the GIS editable feature layer, ideally, a net new Word document with a separate table with populated values from the GIS editable feature layer will populate in the corresponding values in the table within the docx. Any updates that are made to existing field work project records within the GIS editable feature layer would have the updated reco

version: 2024I am trying to convert data from fgdb to dgn. I used AttributeSplitter and DGNStyler to reassign size and width to each text elements. Single line text is work but seem mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier cannot write to dgn.  Is igds_text_width_multiplier in DGNStyler cannot update igds_multi_text?Remark: I tried FME 2021 is work. mutiplate line text attribute igds_text_width_multiplier can write to dgn.

Can you convert a Polygon M shapefile to a Polygon shapefile?

Before I updated to Form 2024.1.2.0, when I added a writer it would automatically name the Feature/Table and assign the geometry type. Also, if there were multiple readers in the workspace the add writer function would prompt to select individual or all feature/table names associated with the readers. Now the writers have to be individually added, named, and assigned a geometry type. This can be very tedious and time prohibitive in many cases (which goes against all things FME). Is there a default setting that I’m missing?

I am using FME Form 2021.In the Emailer Transformer Message - Body (Text Editor), Can someone tell me the proper HTML syntax to make text bold?<b>Total Number of Vehicles:<b><br><br>Number of Vehicles by Division- Using the above syntax, the email sent shows all the text is bold, including “Number of Vehicles by Division-”. I only need “Total Number of Vehicles:” to be bold. 

Can someone please sanity check me.The example in the google developers for animated updates is https://developers.google.com/static/kml/documentation/kmlfiles/animatedupdate_example.kmland it works fine.However the same code embedded in a kml generated by the FME KML writer does not work.As far as I can tell, the issue is with the name space declaration.the example uses <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2"  xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"> whereas the FME kml writer produces<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> Am I going crazy or does changing the declaration break

Sometimes and non-reproducible changes I have done in source code are not saved.Mostly it works but in estimated 5% my changes are lost.If I change text I always type ctrl-s, mostly two or three times. If the changes are big I type spaces and save again. I reenter the source code and look for my changes.BUT whatever I do, sometimes FME "forgets" my changes, today it forgot it, even when I ran the translation (in the control before my changes were made).Has anybody else such problems? Is there a "correct" way to save the sources or a workaround for it?I actually use the version 2016.0 (in former versions the problem was the same)Hope, anybody can help

Firstly I combined my building objs by Aggregator, then I separated them by Deaggregator, finally to b3dm. I have coordinates of those building objs but All building overlapped in Cesium, How can i locate the buildings according to coordinates.

The scenario is as follows: We are able to get the dynamic segmentation done using Feature Merger & Snipper transformers based on event table and routes, but we also want to capture "LocationError" field values like similar to "Make Route Event Layer tool in ArcGIS" Any thoughts are suggestions like how do we achieve it in FME? 

 Hi, I am retrieving data through an API using an HTTP caller. The data consists of points and lines. My plan is to pull this data, perform some attribute mapping, and then POST it to a website. However, I'm having trouble extracting geometry after flattening the JSON data. I used a Geometry Replacer, but it fails every time I run it. The error message says:INVALID_PARAMETER_GEOMETRY_SOURCEI would appreciate any assistance with this!

I am in the process of working on an integration between Cityworks and ArcGIS Urban. While I am well-versed in using the HTTPCaller transformer for REST APIs in FME Desktop, after s few hours of working with an HTTPCaller, the only way I was able to make a GraphQL API call was using a PythonCaller with some custom code using the requests library. For now, the PythonCaller route will work well enough, but I would rather lean on the HTTPCaller for when others have to take over this integration who are not Pythonistas.

I’m trying to write data from one ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer to another using schema mapper for field mapping. I’m finding that the features from featureclass1 are being appended to featureclass2, but there isn’t any data written into the attribute fields for these appended features. Am I missing a setting in schema mapper?This is the result of my workspace (featureclass2). Features 4-7 were appended from featureclass1 to featureclass2, but the data didn’t come through.This is featureclass1, you can see there is data for those features.I’m using a csv file for my schema mapping. The schema mapper is mapping one → newfour and two → five. I’ve tried this keeping the source at

I authored some scripts years ago that use the ArcSDEQuerier transformer to query for records in a versioned 10.1 ArcSDE Geodatabase. The machine that FME resides on has FME 2019.3.1, both ArcGIS 10.1 and ArcSDE 10.1, and both Oracle 32-bit (ArcGIS) and 64-bit (ArcSDE) clients installed. The scripts have worked for years without issue. Recently, I’ve had to modify them a bit and on a development FME machine, the ArcSDEQuerier transformer works fine, but promoting them to another same-build FME machine has had some odd results. If I use the exact scripts/workspaces from the dev machine, the ArcSDEQuerier throws the error seen below. Or if I open scripts that were already on this machine, untouched, the ArcSDEQuerier also throws the same error: However sometimes, and I stress sometimes, if I open a brand new workspace and add a si

Hi Everyone, I tried to make use of the schemamapper transformer to create a new output excel spreadsheet which takes a customised schema csv file as an input. The problem is that the schema file sits within a random folder (date time stamp temp folder name - e.g. 20190903100000) each time the workbench run. (PS: the randomised folder is created at the beginning of the workflow and being passed through as an attribute value).Due to the randomised temp folder name which i tried to pass into the schemamapper as the dataset, I am not able to pass it through. I then tried to create a custom transformer where i can pass the temp folder name via attribute value > published parameter for the custom transformer. The new problem I have now is that the custom transformer does not appear to be able to pick up the attribute value (which has become a published parameter) in the dataset field within the schemamapper.It always throws an error shows "ERROR |CSV r

Hi,I have a file of points which correspond to buildings. Each point or building has a number of apartments (total 9000). from this layer, I would like to create zones for every 500 apartments, without intersection. I tried the neighbor finder with sorter assending on the distance then range mapper attributes but the result is not good because I should not have any intersection between the polygons. Help please :) Thanks a lot   

Hi there,Has anyone found a solution to FME Hub connection in Version 2021? 

Hi Team, I'm doing the training for FME Professional, using FME Desktop 2022.2 and am now at https://safe.my.trailhead.com/content/safe/modules/turn-coordinates-into-geometry/exercise-turn-coordinates-into-geometry-using-the-vertexcreator-transformer . The last question on this page is about VertexCreator making a line instead of a point geometry. The question gives the impression that creating a line using this transformer is "a feature" from that transformer (and values the answer given accordingly), while the page https://community.safe.com/s/article/Known-Issue-VertexCreator-creates-lines-instead-of-points clearly shows that this is a glitch th

Hello,does anyone know why the Truncate Existing Function in Esri SDE Writer does not reset the OBJECTID Counter of a registered Table. (Table is not Versioned).SDE Writer File is based on World Parameter (not SID) and I am using ArcGIS 3.1.4 and FME 2022.2 (but had the Issue also in constellation ArcGIS 2.6 and FME Desktop 2021)The data is written on Oracle 19.15BrGoran

I have three separate CSVs (readers below in yellow) to which I have added several transformers. I first added a “AttributeFilter” to filter through two values. I then connected to an “AttributeValueMapper” to map the previous two values to given names. Then I added a “StatisticsCalculator” to sum the values within these two values. Then an “ExpressionEvaluator” to convert the values from feet into miles and after an “AtributeRenamer” to rename the field names. Lastly, I added an “AttributeCreator” to add a third field of data. This is seen in the picture below of my workflow. At the end of the workflow, I added an “AttributePivoter” in an attempt to merge all of these together before attaching a Writer and exporting the results as an Excel Sheet. I am not sure the AttributePivoter might be the best way to merge all of this. Wha

I have a raster wherein the values are in epoch time (number of days since 1970-01-01)Is there a way in FME to convert these values into different date formats, such as yyyyddd?DateTimeConverter seems to only work with attributes, but translating all pixels to polygons with attributes for the pixel value is not optimal. I would guess this could be possible with RasterExpressionEvaluator, but if someone can give an example that would be really helpful. Thanks!
