Is there a way to have this python module in FME?  

Hi, Is there a way to replace curve rings in polygon geometries with vertices along the curve without generalizing the whole geometry. The input is a feature class in a file geodatabase. Thank you for the info! 

Hello, I have a line shape file which is in 2d. I want to drape it on terrain to make it 3d. I have the terrain data of the area which is a .las file.

I got over 380000 polygons of landcover data and I'd like to find out which of them have parts thinner than 0.2 meter and identify where these thin parts are located, so I can fix them.I've tried bufferer, but there's no luck for me, please help me, thanks very much!

I use this guide to add the date to my output file and foldernames:https://community.safe.com/s/article/including-dates-into-the-names-of-output-files-or Works like a charm but slows down my fme with large datasets. Now I don't need the DateTimestamp in my data, only in the filename. So I wonder if there is a way to re-use one DateTimestamp for more than one output.All the outputs use the same WriterAll outputs have a different inputI don't need the datetimestamp in the data Small test model how it is now (and works):How I would want it (but doesn't work like this):The second version is 40% faster than the first...

when i change the Default line width to 0.6 in feature wirter ( adobe geospatial pdf in Feature writer ) ,i found it changes for all layers . i would like to change only for one layer and others still has the same width of lines .How could i achieve it ?i need only to change paramter of width of lines in one layer without effecting other lines at other layers . my workspace : i have different lines ,with different colors and i would like to increase the width line with green color that i show in pdf output and others still have the same line width in pdf output .Thanks in advanceFME 2018

Hi FME'ers,Here's a recap of what has been happening in the world of FME recently. It's actually quite a lot! Sporks vs SocksOK, let's handle this first. Which is better: FME Socks or FME Sporks?   I posted this question as a poll on Twitter, Reddit, and LinkedIn. Debate was fierce:  But in the end, on both LinkedIn (52%-48%) and Twitter (65%-35%) our users came down in favour of FME Socks!  Controversially, Safe employees were 60%-40% in favour of sporks! Crazy. If you'd still like to have your say, head on over to the FME Subreddit where the poll will be open for another day or two, and where you can tag yourself with either Sock or Spork flair! New ArticlesOn the Safe blog this week we have a new article about Infrastructure Asset Management. According to the article, the four main challenges: Complying with standardsCreating a unified data modelData delivery and sharingProcess automation Obviously, those are all well within FME's capabilities, especially whe

I have two feature sets being joined with featurejoiner with approximately 50 attributes on the right and 50 on the left. I need to set ALL values of ALL unjoined attributes to uj_left or uj_right accordingly, in place of NULL (or is it MISSING?). I've had some ideas but wondering about a best management practice here. Let me know if you have any ideas. My test and concept ideas have included:1) add attribute manager following unjoined ports and set values on each unjoined attribute. Two issues here, one is that the unjoined right port doesn't show the left attributes and vice versa. The second issue is that I have 100 attributes, so I'm looking for a more automated solution.2) again add attribute manager following unjoined ports but this time just add one new attribute (join_status) and set the value accordingly uj_left, uj_right. Bring those streams together into a single transformer to then add a conditional value setter based on join_status. This seems doable, but

I have downloaded FME 2020 software into my D drive and I have moved my FME 2020 Data into my D Drive as well. So I started with exercise 1.1 Begin but every time I hit the "RUN" button, I would get errors saying "Cannot open dataset `C:\\FMEData2020\\Data\\Boundaries\\LocalAreas.kml' because it keep reading it from the C drive, so how do I get it to read it from the D drive cos I have already moved the FMEData2020 into the D drive. The reason for moving is I don't have much space in my C drive. Any suggestions, please?

Hi list.I try to only make a full install once a year, when a new year release (e.g. 2021.0) is available, and use "engine only" for the lesser updates.I've just installed 2021.0 on our servers, and have encountered some problems that warrants installation action.In this scenario, is it possible to do a downgrade as an "engine only" update, or is that only possible for newer updates ?I.e., how tight are the GUI/queue frameworks tied to the engine versions ?Any insights are appriciated.Cheers.

Hi. I have a WMS service (Aerial) I would like to consume and clip to a JPEG or similar. Is this possible and if so, what transformers would I need to use?When I open the WMS I currently get an error...|ERROR |<WMS> Exception detected for the GetMap operation, requested Content-Type, 'image/png', returned Content-Type, 'text/html'.Eventually, I want to add this to a dwg output.Any help would be appreciated.Regards, Paul

Hi,I have some problems to write an overview to a raster on a PostGIS-Database. The workflow runs without a problem, but the original raster is reduced in size. It gets the same resolution from the lowest resampler. What is wrong or where is my logic mistake?Thanks!

The C++ SDK examples appear to be missing two files: ipipe.h and fmeplugincapabilities.h, so they cannot be compiled. A search of the FME installation does not appear to show them.

Hello, I followed steps of this tutorial (using generic workspace) : https://community.safe.com/s/article/how-to-create-a-wfs-service-using-fme-server but i Have a problem :I followed all steps.I just have a doubt on Target_URI : Is it OK ?Thank you.

I'm using PATH reader and filecopy to make copies of excel files for a monthly archive process. It works great except one small issue - there's a sheet in each file that's linked to another excel file that gets updated every month with new data. The purpose of the archive is to create a snapshot of each month's dataset. Normal process is create a copy of each file manually, rename the file, then open and copy/paste values of the linked sheet, then save. I was hoping to fully automate this process. I've at least automated the copy/rename steps. Is there anyway of removing the formulas and writing the excel with values only?

I would like to find a way to expose the plot size of a given AutoCad layout within the attributes. There is an attribute for "autocad_space" which gives the name of the layout for each feature, but is there an attribute to expose the actual layout/plot size (ex: "11 x 17").To explain what I am trying to do - I have many AutoCad drawings that I need to analyze in FME. Many of the drawings have multiple layouts that are the same but different sizes, (ex: 11 x 17 and 24 x 36), but, I would like to focus on only one of them (the 11 x 17). The reason for focusing on one of them is to gather the information from inside of that plot/frame, and excluding any other data from outside of the frame. There is overlap in features if I don't narrow down the frame size. Any help/advice is welcomed and appreciated.

The only related transformer I've been able to locate so far is FileDeleter and it requires knowing each and every file name ahead of time, and doesn't work at all on folders.https://hub.safe.com/publishers/sigtill/transformers/filedeleter

I have 1 line and 1 polygon layer, have to extract all the intersection points and create a point layer with the attributes of line and polygon present on it, how it can be done?

New to FME, im trying to create an IMDF dataset from a CAD floor plan using the 3 step guide provided. The snapper tool either snaps the door lines together and doesn't provide a line, or it doesn't snap and provides a line, in both instances the output file still contains the door lines in their original locations. From what I understand, the preprocess.fmw is supposed to take the lines of the door and convert them into vertices and then draw a line between them and remove the original lines. Any insight into the actual process of creating a door in autocad that conforms to the workflow process would be appreciated. Does the door line and arc need to be a polyline? Does it need to be a block? any information is beneficial. Thank you! https://community.safe.com/s/article/converting-cad-datasets-to-imdf-part-1 this is what i am trying to follow. I've also given the layers the names (RM$), (GROS$) and (ADO) as this is what i understood from what information has been provided.

The scenario: I have a set of 2000+ 3D polygons and a set of 2+ million(!) 3D points (with all Z's equal 0 at the start). The polygons are essentially surfaces. (I will call them that.) These surfaces massively overlap and have widely varying footprints but are at all sorts of different heights above ground. In fact, most are sloped, and many change elevation position realtive to each other as one moves horizontally through the field of surfaces.The need: For each point (XY location), I need to determine the surface elevation at that location for each surface that the point falls within and to choose the lowest elevation and put that value in an attribute on the point.So far: I have run the points and polygons through a PointOnAreaOverlayer with list building. This conveniently gives me points with a list of containing areas, where the lists are not too long, maybe 5 to 30 elements.The question: How do I loop through the area list and then compare the point to each of the

Hello, I am struggling with transforming a dataset that I have to the desired format. I have a table that looks (for example) like this:ID;16;50;60;75X1;10;25;80;95X2;30;30;90;X3;25;;80;100 The first issue is that I need to use the column headers to get classes:0-16, 16-50, 50-60, 60-75But for ID X3 the value in column 50 is missing and therefore I need to get the class 16-60 (instead of 16-50 as is the case for ID X1 and X2). I don't know how to create this in FME.  Secondly, I need to calculate the value for each class by substracting the values from each other. So for ID X1 I need the following result:Class 0-16 = 10Class 16-50 = 15Class 50-60 = 55Class 60-75 = 15Class >75 = 5 Besides, I want the classes as an upper- and lower limit column.So the final result that I need for the three ID's is:ID;UPPER_LIMIT;LOWER_LIMIT;VALUEX1;16;0;10X1;50;16;15X1;60;50;55X1;75;60;15X1;;75;5X2;16;0;30X2;50;16;0X2;60;50;60X2;;60;10X3;16;0;25X3;60;16;55X3;75;60;20X3;;75;0 I hope my explanat

Every time a workspace file is opened changed and then save a whole lot of lines in the .fmw file are changed. This makes it (almost) impossible to work with git. Does Safe Software have any plans to change this going forward to reduce the number of line changes? It would make development with workspaces much more streamlined. I presume if was doable it would have been done a long time ago, however, it would be a great improvement. I know this has been asked a few times but perhaps there is an update?
