Collada (.dae) wrong coordinates and world position

Hello. I have a georeferences Collada file, which is placed in Jersey EPSG:3109. If I load the file in Global Mapper (BlueMarbel) I get the correct position, but in FME the 3D model is being placed in North West Russia: What is the reason for this, and how can I fix it? I've uploaded the file here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ddN133UlQx2BVAqtq7fNzY7k15G6XYjD/view?usp=sharing

Is there a way to limit the size of Microsoft Excel Spreadsheets to say 250 Rows, so that the Writer ends up spitting out multiple Spreadsheets for Work Packages that you can then assign to members of a team?

Finding duplicate value and looping through each one to increment the value and make unique

The problem: We have duplicate ID's across various tables, an example being: Table 1ID 1 = UNI-ID1-234211ID 2 = UNI-ID1-234211 Table 2ID 1 = UNI-ID2-230011ID 2 = UNI-ID2-230011ID 2 = UNI-ID2-230011 I want to find the duplicate ID's and then increment the last part of the ID, but retain first lowest value. For example: Table 1ID 1 = UNI-ID1-234211ID 2 = UNI-ID1-234212 Table 2ID 1 = UNI-ID2-230011ID 2 = UNI-ID2-230012ID 2 = UNI-ID2-230013 I've isolated the duplicates with a Matcher already. I've split the ID based on hyphen to get me 3 parts to the ID, _list{2} gives me the last part. I assume I'll need to push it through a looping custom transformer maybe? or can it be done with Listing techniques too? Thanks for your help,

add 3D Point information to a 2D Line?

I have a 3D point dataset (no point cloud) and a 2D line dataset. The lines only consist of a start node and an end node. The point dataset is identical with the start and end nodes. My goal is now to transfer the height information from the 3D point dataset to the 2D nodes of the lines in order to obtain a 3D polyline. Is there a way to do this in FME?

I am using the GTFS reader to bring in zip transit file data via URL link. When I look at the Shapes or Stops dataset. I noticed it is missing the shapes latitude & longitude & stop latitude & longitude. Why are the values missing from the dataset?

When I download the GTFS file, the latitude and longitude are present in the Shapes and Stops dataset. Please, see attached.Bart GTFS data source link can be found at the bottom of their website page: https://www.bart.gov/schedules/developers/gtfsor via direct link: https://www.bart.gov/dev/schedules/

FME wont subtract numerical values with arithmetric expression.

I simply want to calculate the difference between two numerical values. (In this case elevation taken as an attribute)I want to add a new attribute with this information and thus sing the AttributeManager. My expression is as follow@Value(_elevation)-@Value(cover_z)But it come out as 1.87-3.14 in the new attribute. How do I make it actually subtract?I found that _elevation had comma as delimeter whilst cover_z had period as delimiter. I have tried to find out what datatype FME is interpreting the fields but there are no way of finding if FME see it as string or float?I did however try to wrap each attriubute in @int8(<float>) to cast it to numeric, that did not work.I used string replaces and got the to use the same delimiter, but that did not work either?I just want to do a simple subtraction between values... any advice?

Hello. I'm trying to convert Sketchup files to CityGML, i've been following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_eHzACY_RA I'm very new to FME and CityGML in general, butI've managed to convert Shapefiles to CityGML using a similar workflow. The skp files does not contain any attributes, and only consists of polygons. I run the sketchup file through a AttributeCreator to create a gml_id -> CityGMLGeometrySetter (od2MultiSurface) -> CityGML Writer (Buildings - Automatic User Attributes): If I inspect the CityGMLGeometrySetter I can see the 3D models in the Graphics tab, but it dissapears in the Writer. Am I doing something obviosly wrong? Why is the geometry not being loaded in the CityGML writer? Any help or pointers to tutorials explaining some basics that I might be missing is appreciated. I can also upload my workspace and files if that helps. Robin

Where to put a custom projection file

Hi, I have created a custom projection file and put it in User -> Document-> FME -> CoordinateSystemsI have restarted my laptop. It does not appear in the gallery.I created it with a text editor. Am I putting it in the correct location for FME 2020?Is there a log somewhere to tell be if it has been read or there is an error in the file?Do I need the backslash on the end of each line? I was hoping to use the online tool to create the projection but I wanted to base the projection on GDA2020 , There does not appear to be a Datum to reference for 2020 in the dropdown in the online tool. Any assistance welcomed,Ian Hamilton

s3connector disappears in one 2020.1.3 installation

I had a workbench created with desktop 2019.2.1. It had a s3connector in it and worked fine for over 6 months now. I recently installed 2020.1.3 on the same machine, the workbench worked fine in 2020.1.3 and was saved in 2020.1.3. Today, I installed 2020.1.3 on two other machines which had not had any FME installed before. The workbench works fine on one machine, but on the other machine, at opening, it gives an error related to the s3connector. See attached screen capture. It then opens the workspace, but the s3connector is gone. Is there a way to fix this? I really want this workbench to work on this machine.

Hi all, I'm working on data conversion from IFC to CityGML, the IFC data are generated from both Revit and Civil 3D.I followed this training and it works fine at most time : https://community.safe.com/s/article/bim-to-gis-intermediate-ifc-lod-300-to-lod-4-cityg However, I'm currently stuck in 2 problems:The output CityGML's size are quite large, is there a way to reduce the size during the conversion processMost information I could find about converting IFC to CityGML by FME are about building models or related elements. How about Civil elements? For example, IfcCivilElement to CityGML? Thanks in advance if anyone could share some idea.

How can I update an existing ArcGIS online service layer to show changes over time?

I am using FME 2020. I have a boundary layer that I update in ArcPRO every month, I need to create a "Changed" feature service on AGO that will show the changes for each month over the year. I can create the initial service layer but I cannot add the changes to it. I have a change detector that is finding all the records to insert but the AGO writer fails. The goal is to show all the changes to the boundary over the year. For example if I change the Austin boundary every month I should have 12 records for Austin at the end of the year. This is the only error I get from the workbench

Coordinate System Gallery

I'm quite new with FME and working with coordinates. I'm trying to use the AttributeReprojector transformer to convert NAD27 Lat/Long coordinates on my features into WGS84 Lat/Long coordinates in my workspace. I'm having some difficulty with selecting one from the many choices. The question I have is when I open the Coordinate System Gallery to select the coordinate systems for the transformer parameters, I see at least 3 choices that look similar to me for WGS84, ie they use the same datum, units, projection and ellipsoid. Does anyone know what the differences are?Question 2: For NAD27 it seems another step more complicated. I'm having some difficulty figuring out what the differences are with so many choices. Eg is there a difference between all of these NAD27 datums? Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
