File Paths Inconsistent, bug, or user error?

Hi, I have a user parameter where we are entering raw text in the format of:\\gis\scripts\FME_Projects\Production\Staging Folder\bulk_geopackage.gpkg The first time this parameter is used is in a featurewriter transformer:Then when I look at the path it is passing through the output, you will notice one of the slashes has been reversed...Any thoughts as to why this is happening at this point?

How to edit writer to write to FGDB instead of SHP

Hi all, I've created a series of FME scripts that translate geometries in a source DWG file into ESRI consumable SHPs. However, now that I want to change the Writer source to write to the FGDB I created, the scripts won't run properly and say this.Is it a matter of adjusting the attributes viewable in the end FC in the FGDB? I was able to set it to manual/automatic with the SHP writer, and everything translated through with no errors. In my initial transformation from DWG to SHP, the SHP writer geometry enabled the shapefile_first_feature option and dimension from first feature.In the FGDB writer option, I don't see the same option, rather selecting a sepcific type of geometry only (polyline, polygon, point, etc)Would this be where it is going wrong in teh sense that the shp writer enabled for the merging of line/arc/polyline geometries?

File Copy Writer - Copy a DWG file from one folder to another

This is a silly question, but I can't seem to use the File Copy writer to copy a DWG file to another folder properly. The transformation seems to run with no issues, but when I check the output folder I specified, the DWG file is not there.In the Reader, I chose to merge it as a single merged type, as the DWG has about 30+ individual layers in it. Is there a method to ensure I just copy over the whole DWG file into another folder? I don't want to move the original file, simply make a copy of it to another folder.Thanks everyone

How to publish ESRI web scene on ArcGIS Enterprise with building layers from Revit files.

I have several Revit files for design review of a construction project and I want to make them available to our organization through ArcGIS Enterprise using a 3d web scene showing the Revit data as a "building layer." I've set up the Revit readers but that is as far as I have gotten in FME. I tried creating Esri file geodatabase writers from the readers but resulting the feature class schema is different than what the results from the BIM File to Geodatabase geoprocessing tool in ArcGIS Pro produces. For context, in ArcGIS Pro my steps would be:BIM File to Geodatabase (geoprocessing tool)Make Building Layer (geoprocessing tool)Share as Web Scene

Polygon Overlaps from two datasets with Percentages

I need to generate a list of polygons from Dataset Y that overlap with Dataset Z and the percentages each polygon overlaps the polygons in the other dataset.I’ve currently used a spatial relator > list concatenator to find overlapping polygons but it then requires a lot of additional work in excel to get it into a usable table so I am not getting results in the format I need.The data essentially looks like the follow example and I need something similar to the Ideal Resulting Dataset or in a format that is easy to follow or easy to turn into that dataset.Example Dataset Y1234 Dataset ZABCD Spatially Datasets Y and Z:Ideal Resulting Dataset:

How do I *write* a TIN so I can open it in ArcGIS Pro?

Using the TINGenerator with 3D points as input, I get edges, triangles, surface and points. This looks fine in the inspector, and I can write the results out as e. g. Multipatch. I would like to write the result(s) (just the surface really) out to be readable by ArcGIS Pro as a TIN, like the result of the "Create TIN" GP tool. How do I do that? "Esri ASCII Grid" fails no matter the input and the adf writer (the TIN files in the Pro-created TIN folder end with *.adf, mostly) wants to write e00 files.

Feature reader - version differences

I am trying to get version difference via ArcGIS Portal service and I am getting this error message : ERROR |Python Exception <KeyError>: 'rings' I am encountering this error message for only layer (pointing to polygon featureclass) on the service and the rest looks OK . In case I use other layers from the same service, its working fine and giving me version difference results without any issues. If I do some edits from ArcGIS Pro and perform version changes, that seems to be fine for the same layer. Thanks,Naveen

Update 3 out of 10 Excel tabs in a spreadsheet

Hello! Not sure where to put this. I'm sure others must have tried this and figured it out before. We have a spreadsheet with 10 tabs. 3 of those tabs we'll have automated via an FME workspace. Question 1 - Is it better (or easier) to purely overwrite or append? We have an excel template set up as the formatting (font size/ auto height) need to be followed. The scenario here is we are keeping track of communications and creating a new row each time there's a new communication. Is anyone able to share a screenshot of what the parameters should look like? I am getting confused by truncate/insert/update, templates and named range and how they all work in this situation. Is it possible to only overwrite the three tabs or if I select overwrite does that imply the whole spreadsheet. I notice there are two sections to control parameters I'm a little bit unsure of setting up a named range since the list of communications will continuously grow. There are still those other 7

Using an xml document as schema resource for a dynamic writer.

My question concerns when a resource is read when using a dynamic writer. Is it read at the start of the process or immediately before needing when dynamically writing? I am modifying the xml schema in my workspace and overwriting the file. However from what I can see the resource has already been read and applied as the schema. Should the resource be read just before the writer needs it or at some earlier point? Could I use an attributefilereader to read in the xml as an attribute and use this as a schema attribute just before the writing bypass this issue? Thanks,Ian

Geometry Challenge - Perpendicular line (Same X Coordinate)

Hi All, I'm working on a workflow to identify if line is perpendicular and shows the same X at both vertex . Below a screenshot that shows a line pointing to the north but the X (top vertex) is different to X (bottom vertex). The aim of the is fail the lines which are not perpendicular and show different Xs, I was thinking about TopoBuilder but can't get it to work, Any ideas? Thanks :)

@DateTimeFormat in FeatureWriter with multiple sheets

Hi All, How can I force FME to write a single excel file with an unique DateTime value for all the Excel sheets included in a FeatureWriter? see the details below: Atm FeatureWriter writes a 'datetime' per excel sheet therefore export multiple xlsx instead of one single excel file. Any ideas? 🙂

How do I convert a multiband raster to a NetCDF file with a time variable?

The netcdf format is new to me. I have created a multiband raster with 50 bands. Each band contains values for 1 day. My workflow looks like this: The sampler to the left is for testing only and lets 7 bands go through. The listbuilder creates a list of values for the 'days_since' variable. I want to use these values in the writer for the 'netcdf_band{}.coordinate_variable{}' port.How do I apply this as a list? At the moment I have to apply them individually day for day in the attribute manager before the writer.This works but is obviously not scalable. Any help in this matter would be much appreciated - I have thousands of bands to include! :)
