Inserting a KMl into FME desktop results in a schema-less reader. Which steps do I have to take to convert its attribute (values) to e.g. shapefile or fgdb?

Hi @mapster​ ,

 

you can view the attributes (names and values) in the Data Inspector feature information windows and use an AttributeExposer to expose the attributes you need in your workspace. You can then manipulate them and write output to whatever format you want.

 

Hope that helps!
