FME Form

I want to create a glTF/glb mesh georeferenced, these are my parameters into the writer. Even though, the .prj file has the coordinate system tipe, they don't display the model georeferenced, any suggestion? Thanks in advance

I am having a unique issue where I cannot write out the date 19700101000000 (01/01/1970) to my ‘Date’ data type fields in an Esri sde feature class. How do I fix this problem? When I want to write out 19700101000000 to one of these fields, the writer runs successfully and I get the success message but then when I read the data back into FME or I check my attribute table in ArcGIS Pro the field shows up as 18991230000000 (12/30/1899). The date is formatted correctly. I can write out other dates no problem. I can write out 19700101000001 and 19710101000000 no problem. I just can’t write out 19700101000000. I can open the attribute table in ArcGIS Pro and manually enter the date as ‘1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM’ (from the calendar/time picker) and the table will accept it. I can also use calculate field and input '1970-01-01 00:00:00' (python format) and the table will update correctly. I have tried using AttributeManager and DateTimeConverter to make sure the date is formatted correctly and the

I ran into this same error when building this dynamic workspace a year ago and writing to existing, unpopulated geodatabase (GDB) in File GDB format. The solution was to add my template File GDBs to the workspace as resources in the Schema Sources control in the FeatureWriter parameters. I have now modified the workspace to write optionally to Mobile GDB format through an additional FeatureWriter set for Mobile GDB format. I have the FeatureWriter set up identically to the File GDB version (which works fine), but I am getting that "Feature Type Definition 'ftype_name' was requested, but not defined" error. The following screenshot shows the parameter setup for the Mobile GDB FeatureWriter (FeatureWriter_8), and the Feature Information for the first feature to be written as it comes out of AttributeCreator_38. I am baffled. The Schema Sources items are correct; the fme_feature_type, fme_feature_type_name, and geodb_feature_dataset format attribute values are correct. The _out_dataset at

Trying to extract data via a CRM API. Stuck (401 errors for authentication in the FME logs) on our internal CRM api with FME. I can query the API using a web browser after authentication. I've also tried without success to authenticate with FME's ODATA reader with a similar authentication issue. the URL example is: https://MYSITE/api/data/v8.1/TABLE? When login works in a web browser there is a redirect (an active directory account is used) i believe this is using OAuth2 authentication. Any advice or hints would be appreciated. I have reviewed other posts on this form but have not been able to find a solution. thanks for the help!

I am currently researching converting ifc to citygml. fme is using a paid version with a license. When I simply convert ifc to citygml using fme, an error appears and it does not work. Do I need another method to convert ifc to citygml?

Hey,Is there is no transformer for Geocode in Transformer gallery rather than take it from hub

I’m looking at a workflow wherein the start point is this: Underwater photo manually copied into Powerpoint Measurement grid overlaid Percentage cover of different plant species estimated by eye Results copied to Excel I haven’t dabbled in CV at all within FME, just read this blog - and this may be jumping in the deep end - but am wondering if this scenario might be a candidate?

Hello, I am struggling to read a very simple table from a PDF, I just want to have something in the output. I have turn on only the "Read Tagged Tables" in the Reader's parameters, but nothing is coming out from it. The reader is not being created in my window. I have created a special table from excel in PDF to be sure that the table was fine. It looks simple in the FME presentation... https://www.safe.com/convert/geospatial-pdf/excel/ Could someone git me a hint about what am I doing wrong? Thanks! My simple PDF with its readable table: My Reading parameters:

I need to extract TAB or Shape file from S3 and read data from it including schema. I have discovered in this article https://community.safe.com/data-7/how-to-extract-the-actual-shapefile-from-featurereader-geometry-and-attributes-14548?tid=14548&fid=7 that FeatureReader apparently can’t read all attributes that are in the file, until I expose them. But what is I don’t know the list of all attributes? I don’t know what exactly will be uploaded by other people to S3 bucket, I just need to read the file. Could you help, please, to identify the correct settings of FeatureReader or another way to extract data?

Hello, I am authoring a workspace, that uploading data in PostgreSQL database. And I have difficulties to implement one function. There is a validation that checks if value is not empty or null. If object has missing unique S_ID, it is still gets uploaded in the “Data” table. But also, I add a record in the “Errors” table, that feature has missing S_ID. When features get uploaded in the “Data” table they are automatically assigned another unique key “ID” this is just a sequential number in “Data” table. The task for me is to add “ID” from “Data” table when I create a record with error in “Error” table. Because it will be the only unique attribute by which feature can be identified in case it is missing S_ID. The difficulties for me is that I am logging errors earlier than ID attribute is assigned to the uploaded features. I thought to use VariableSetter and Variable Retriever that should help in this case. But I don't know how to extract “ID” attribute anyway. I am using FeatureWriter

I have a collection of photos and a point layer in SHP (Shapefile) format. I aim to replicate the functionality of 'Enable Attachments' from ArcGIS Pro. Specifically, I want to associate each photo with its corresponding point on the map based on matching the photo file names with a column in the point layer. Is that possible? What transformers should I use?

Am sure am missing out some step or obtain right setting. I am trying to extract points that fall inside or intersect 3D Cube . I am also getting points as an output that are not within 3D Cube . Please note: 3D is cube is multi-surface with different shapes and its IFC file. I shall be highly obliged with FME Community expert to help me with their know-how and expertise to bridge that missing part / thank you for support and time.

Hi, I am trying to use the ImportFromFME package in Revit Dynamo and need to generate an FME Connection String using the FME Connection String Generator Utility, but I can’t find the FMEPCConfg.exe in my installation folder. Is it saved somwhere else or do I need another FME program like FME Server to use it? I have FME Form 2023.2 installed. The executable is supposed to be in this area, but it’s not there.

This seems like it should be really easy to do but I’m spinning my wheels. I have a dataset of points, each with an attribute of Contract Number. I have a set of polygons also with Contract Number attributes. I need to determine if the point falls within a polygon AND the point contract number matches the polygon contract number that it falls within. What’s the best way to achieve this?

I am trying to change the FME Server database from the default Postgres to SQL Server. I have followed the instructions in this link: http://docs.safe.com/fme/2018.1/html/FME_Server_Documentation/Content/AdminGuide/Changing_Database_Provider.htm but after everything is done, I cannot login as admin anymore. I get the login page to come up, and I can confirm that connectivity is there to SQL Server, but it won't accept my password for admin anymore.

Hi, I'm struggling with a seemingly very simple task. I want to to check if a user parameter (Text) contains a value using a Tester. I assumed I could just use a Tester and test the $Parameter with the condition "Attribute has a value" but if I run the workspace with a test string it does not pass the test. The test works as expected if I use a "contains regex" condition instead but I don't understand why "contains a value" isn't working, when the input clearly contains one.

Hello, I’m working in FME Form (both tested in 2023.2 and 2024.0 ) with DGN files contaning 3D objects in Smart Solid format. I’m looking for some possibility in controlling solid to mesh decimation process. At the moment I can’t find any way to change default way how FME Reader create mesh from solid objects. For example some circular object is decimated as 8 vertices. I’ve already tested Stroking Tolerance without any effect https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form/Workbench/Stroking_Tolerance.htm and “Number of interpolated curve vertices” in DGN Reader parametrs. Any suggestions?

I am new to JSON, I’ve read the guides on here and have tried several ways to sort this without success. I’m using a JSON Reader to read from a file. The table has just three columns: OBJ; TIMESTAMP; and PK1. However, there are 114 attributes I can see in the Feature Information window which I need to bring into the table. (I am hoping ultimately that I won’t need 114 attributes!) As you can see I have tried the 4 transformers listed but without success. The answer might be to configure one of them correctly or link one to the next… but over to you clever folks to see if anyone can come up with the answer. Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom. :-)

Hello every one i have excel file saved in microsoft sharepoint, i need to read this file and update some attrbute without dowloading this file to my pc and update and upload again, i need to read and update directly in the file Thanks

I’ve been trying to write a DWG that includes a thumbnail preview. Selecting Write Thumbnail Image hasn’t made any difference to the files in windows explorer.Is there a tick to making this feature work?I’ve also looked at other options to generate thumbnail images using tools like the image rasteriser or MapnikRasteriser, but they’ve struggled to generate a good representation of the DWG vector content. Any ideas on an easy workflow to generate thumbnails for DWG content? I’d love to just pull an image from the 2D graphics preview within FME...

I have multiple sensor output csv files that have the same field names that changes with every single file. The locations of the fields stays the same which is good. An example is ID, DATE, TEMP, COND_HIGH, COND_LOW. If the reader field names are changing constantly what is a good way to strip those names and put the simple ones above in their place? I have attempted or looked at the Schemamapper, but I’m not sure if that is the route to take. The other way I messed with was Reader > UUID > AttributeExploder > AttributeCreator (Conditional Statements) > Aggregator? Any help would be appreciated. I think I am making this harder than it needs to be.

I have a workspace that sends data to a url through the HTTP Caller transformer. I want to terminate the workspace if a NULL value exists in a field that is in a table on a SQL database before the data is sent. What is the best way to do this? Do I still need the Creator transformer if I use a Tester?

Hi,Has anyone done or has experience with integrating BIM/CAD and GIS data between ProjectWise and ArcGIS Enterprise? I know that this isn’t a solution supported by ESRI, but FME's capabilities allow to process data and connect both environments. I am looking for ideas and solutions for integration and full synchronization between environments. Ultimately, I would like the design data saved in PW to be displayed on the GIS portal.Thanks for any ideas and suggestions Filip

I have a table where I have emergency meeting points. Each building has a meeting point, some buildings have many points, here is an example: Building Meet_Points 123 11,12,13 124 16 I would like the table to look like this: Building Meet_Points 123 11 123 12 123 13 124 16 How would I separate those meet points, and make numerous rows of the same building that has each meet point and all the other attributes carry over to the newly made rows and are the same?
