I have a raster and want to set values which are < 5 to NoData and also values which are equal to 255. I have tried setting values of 255 to NoData using the RasterBandNodataSetter, but in the output raster all three bands still have values of 255. I've attached the workspace. Ideally I'd like to set these values all at once but I'm just trying to get one value set correctly first. Thanks

Hello!I have shp footprint of buildings and DEM information with TIFF format. I would like to extract Band0 value as a height information, and then apply it into footprint, so then I can create a 3D buildings. Could you tell me the flow that I have to use? maybe I also have to change the coordinate system right

I am trying to perform cascading deletion in the database but because the records are many and the deletion is happening in many tables, this takes a long and the database gets disconnected after a while. How to solve this?

FME Flow does not send emails through emailer-transformer in the workspace. It works on mine production-server, but not in system test. I get error message Emailer: <class 'locale.Error'>: unsupported locale setting. The difference is between TEST and PROD: TEST: Process Encoding : UTF-8PROD: Process Encoding: windows-1252 I have tried deleting safe.emailer, under recources and plugins. Deleted the Build-folder. Tried different Python interpreter. But still no response. Is it Python installed on server that is causing trouble? Are there settings I can make either in the Flow GUI or on the server?  Emailer running from desktop works.

Since FME lives (thrives!) in the lands-between-realms I'm thinking this is the best place to ask this question and hook knowledgeable reponses. There are more eyeballs in the Esri and Stack Exchange community forums but they're less likely to have the broad horizon to horizon perspective combined with life in the tunnels found here. What are the trade-offs to consider when deciding between native DB spatial type or Esri Enterprise Geodatabase (or both)? Where 'native' means PostGIS for Postgres, SQL Server Spatial, OGC in Mysql, etc., etc. Assume equal proficiency of staff and resources is or will be made available. Licensing et al is consequential but not determining. Content is a mix of spatial and non-spatial. It's hard to say which is more. By volume in terms of storage it's spatial - a lot of wildlife telemetry, survey and observational data. However by number of tables the non-spatial will probably outnu

Hello!I have Esri 3d Mulitpatch data as a shapefile, and I tried to see the 3d data on Graphics, but I can see nothing. Also I tried to extrude 3d objects from 2d multipatch, and I insert correct height value, but nothing has changed. Could you tell me how can I solve this issue? I tried to change the coordinate system and I've done several times, but only coordinate system is changed and still cannot see the 3d.

I have a SQL Server table that holds log information. It contains a date field. If I query it in SQL no problem I get: In FME I have a FeatureWriter. I have it set to Update and Use Existing and I've chosen Where Clause as my row selection method. I thought it would be easy to select all rows having todays date, but I'm 3 hours in and having zero luck. I've tried all sorts of iterations like these and many, many more and every time I get "date is incompatible with some data type" or it finishes successfully and I get zero matches. Any suggestion would we GREATLY appreciated. Kim

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?

Wonder if there is a way to read  Microsoft Planner (Microsoft Task) with FME ? Yarko

I am new in FME and I have a project to convert 3D models in .rvt format to be poblished in scene 3D views in ArcGIS enterprise. I was trying to find articles or similar projects that was done before but I couldn't. Can someone help me please tnx!

I am slowly loosing track of all my inpector windows. How can I stop fme creating a new instance every time a tool is run?

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

Is there a way to check the status of a FME job through a powershell script?

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. 

Hello FME Community, I get the following error message when creating features in FME using PythonCreator. Does anyone know what the problem is?

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? 🙂    

Hi!! I've got a problem in FME Desktop 2022.2 that I did not have in FME Desktop 2021.2 I have a workflow that makes POST request to ArcGIS Print Service in order to get an image of a map. We upgraded version and this workflow it doesn't work right now. It shows the following error:  "The encoded string is not a valid fme-wwjd string" The content of this string is a JSON that I need to do my request. As I sayd, the same workflow it works on version 2021.2Does anyone has any idea what happen?

Why does featurewriter hang when I import featuretype from dataset? Is this a bug?  FME Flow Version: FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64)Windows Version: Windows 10 Pro for Workstations (Build 19045.3693) I add a FeatureWriter to the canvas.I open its configuration dialog.I set the format as Microsoft SQL Server Non-SpatialI set the connection one of the Database Connections I have saved in FME.I click the drop down menu below the Feature Types input port list and select Import from Dataset...I select the table from the dialogs.The table attributes are loaded and the table shows up in the Feature Types input port list.I close the dialog and the FeatureWriter transform is now not accessible and immovable. I am able add other transformers, readers, and writers, but if I resize the Flow window, the window panes do not resize with the window.

I have points contained by polygons. I want to buffer these with a spesific buffer of 2500 square meters. And I want these buffers to not cross or expand outside of the polygon. I need apply this to a lot of points with a single operation.The polygons look like this (there are hundreds in the project), and you can see the points inside:This is how I want it to look (the shape of the buffer is customized to the polygon): I got some help help here previously: 

Hi All, I'm working on a workflow to identify if lines are perpendicular and running in parallel. Below screenshots shows what I'm trying to achieve: Line A and B should run in parallel and have the same YLine A should have the X for start/end to be perpendicularLine B should have the X for start/end to be perpendicular  I have put this workflow together and create a QA tool to flag the issues (not perpendicular and not parallel) but can't find the workaround: Any idea how to get this done? Thanks 🙂

Hi All, I'm putting a workflow together to help me QA some data and the final output will be an excel file with some fields as info, Below an example of the desired output which the header is bigger thna the normal rows and the QA QC field says pass in green and fail in red: Is this possible using the ExcelStyler or need to use the FeatureWriter? Thanks 🙂

I am sending this date, Oct-23, through the DateTimeConverter. I have set t he input format as %b-%y2099. The DateTimeConverter is failing to parse the date with the message "Attribute(string: UTF-8)         : `fme_expression_warnings{0}.message' has value `Failed to evaluate expression '@DateTimeParse(Oct-23,%b-%y2099,repair)'. Result is set to null'". What am I doing wrong? I have attached a sample project that demonstrates the failure.My FME Form version is FME(R) 2023.1.1.0 (20230928 - Build 23631 - WIN64). https://docs.safe.com/fme/2023.1/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Transformers/!Transformer_Parameters/Date-Time-Functions.htm#Format

Hi all,I am just wondering if someone can assist or provide pointers on how to generate a navigation tree in FME writing to a GeoJSON file, to be opened in arcGIS pro. My input/reader file is a CSV. For example, in the arcGIS navigation tree, data of types of poles should present as follows: Pole-> Steel->->Blue->->-> Pole A->->-> Pole B->->-> Pole C-> Plastics->-> Blue->->-> Pole D->-> Red->->-> Pole E

Hi all, I have a dataset (CSV) of different types of trees (type, colour, flower, etc) and I want to open this dataset in ArcGIS Pro. I want it to have a navigation tree and a heatmap based on dense areas.  I am new to FME and wondering how I do this and what the best output file format is for the structure I am wanting? I am struggling to find any direction of approach to this specifically. I have done similar in KML with Google Earth, although couldn't implement a heat map, and it is slow with my dataset.
