Hi,I'm trying to use the binding coordinates of a feature to get an image from a WMTS using a feature reader, but I keep getting the following error message which is causing the translation to terminate. <WMTS> WMTS Reader does not recognize the Coordinate Reference System: '%0' The CRS of the WMTS that I'm working with is definitely not '%0' so I'm not sure why the reader thinks that it is. Has anyone come across this issue yet? Thanks.

The thing is some of the coordinates only have 2 points and some have 30+ to make up the lines. I can use AttributeSplitter and create lists, but they are inconsistent when I try to pull out the list using AttributeCreator as some only have 2 and some have 30+. I can split it using ",0;" and then split it again into a separate lat/long for each point. It seems like there has to be an easier way. How would should I go about extracting all of these lat/longs into a line? LineBuilder isn't working for me.   Thanks!

I have the geometry for a city that I created in FME using 3d extractor/extruder from building footprints. I then exported that as an fbx (I tried exporting as a shp file but it couldn't export as a multipatch). This was mostly as a checkpoint because the process of creating this geometry creates hundreds of GB of temporary files. I reimport them into another workspace as an FBX to assign attributes and export as Cesium 3D tiles. Now the problem is that the fbx doesn't have the attributes from the first translation that I would need to assign it attributes.  Is there a way I could carry over those attributes? I mostly need this to find the heights of the buildings that was used in the extruder transformer

Hello,I was asked something today, where I'm not sure. Maybe?  Someone wondered if I can make a FME workflow to evaluate possible design options for some room layouts. The keyword they used was "generative design". It's a stupid marketing term, pushed by Autodesk. So let's call it "what if analysis". Main focus would be placing tables to optimise views, distance to elevator cores, etc. All very doable in 2D... So, I wonder... can I? Did someone attempted something like that?I'm thinking Monte-Carlo, or a simple neural network in R, or Python? I'm aware, there are quite a few tools that do this out of the box. The advantage I see with FME is that this would save me a lot of trouble parsing geometry, much simpler as a workflow.

Hi, I have a data in snappy.parquet format Does this package: https://docs.safe.com/fme/2019.2/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/safe-labs.parquet.parquet/safe-labs.parquet.parquet.htm open snappy.parquet format? Right now I have error like into txt file. FME see that, but cant read it.    

For the following sample text strings extracted from AutoCad dwg file.I tried to build a RegEx pattern to replace the extra spaces in each word to make it consistent and readable.but it's like a mix of good and incorrectly spaced words.Mostly, the pattern looks like : letter <space>letter<space>letter R i v i e r e --->badSt. Martin --->okTatamaka River ---> badSIR MARTIN S.

Is there a way to convert Vertical Coordinate Systems from ArcGIS to FME? I have data that I would like to project to NAD 1983 CSRS UTM Zone 17N with a vertical coordinate system of CGVD 1928

Hi!I'm stuck!I want to import geoobjects to a Geodatabase SDE but I cant find where to choose feature dataset and class? I can se the note <not set> but where can I make that choice?Thanks! /Erik  

I would like to drap points (FMEPoint), from a ShapeFile, onto a mesh (FMEMesh) from OBJ file format, or retrieve the Z coordinate on the mesh from the XY position of the point. I used in my script the transformer SurfaceDraper, but it rebuild a new mesh that doesn't match the original mesh of OBJ file. So some points are not draped properly. I would like to use PythonCaller to do it instead, but my knowledge in Python is limited. 😥

I am extracting Shapefile. Coordinates are reversed. LONGITUDE, LATITUDE. I need to invert to latitude, longitude.location original is in Brazil but show in Atlantic Ocean. reading -54,-31 but correct is -31,-54 degreess. How do I fix the problem?

FME 2020: How to show the records of the selected features in the table? I couldn’t figure how to show the records of the selected features in the table. This command is already available in ArcGIS     

Thanks much!

I'm writing CityGML buildings with xlink's to the surfaces. A few surfaces are donuts. For these surfaces, the xlink is created in the list with surfacemembers, but the id is missing in the geometry of the surface. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hi,I want to access the api using HttpCaller. (https://api.ieo.org.tr/)works fine on my own computer. but i am getting ssl error on windows server.Chrome can open the page.How HttpCaller sends the request.. What adjustments should I make?  Thank you

Hi all,I have a question about translating Vietnamese language to English in Excel file.Could you show me how to translate it?Thank you

Hello I am trying to cut a raster image into smaller chips with a labelled vector points to feed into a CNN network for regression. Can FME help in this regard?

So I have been using AttributeManager to redo the attributes of my new geometry that I have created. One attribute I want to add is just a unique ID number that goes from 1 to infinite to just label each geometry in my dataset

When attempting to write to an existing file geodatabase within a zip file, FME overwrites the contents of the feature class, and will not insert new data into the existing feature class. Also, when I try to set the FeatureWriter's Table Handling mode to 'Use Existing' FME does not recognize that the table exists, and produces an error that the table does not exist. If anyone would like to try this out, here are the steps to reproduce: Set up a workspace with a FeatureWriter and use Esri Geodatabase (File Geodb Open API)Set the FeatureWriter to create a geodatabase and zip the contentsRun the workspace and write the dataRe-run the workspace and write the dataInspect the results, and you'll see that FME has overwritten the previous data, and the feature class will only include the data you wrote when running the workspace for the second time. Using FME Deskto

Dear community,I have two sets of points (one dense point-cloud with 4 million points and a city gml file with about 4000 coordinates) How do I snap the 4000 points from the city gml file onto 4000 points from the point-cloud?The points from the city gml should be as close to the points, they are snapped onto, as possible.  After snapping the points, I would like to compare the old dataset (the point-clouds with the 4 million Points) with the new (snapped) dataset. I would be incredibly grateful for every hint you could give me.Thank you very much in advance for your help!

Hi,I have 3 writers (feature types), all PostgreSQL connected to the same schema but different tables. The second writer should be the first to be written, then the third and so on. This is because of the dependency of the primary key of one writer as the foreign key in the second writer. Can we fix this writing process?I tried the feature holder, connection runtime order, but no luck yet. Also tried the file writer, however, the required attributes are not written. Any quick solutions that I am missing out on? Thanks!

sorry i'm french... my english is bad ^^ : Hello, a wfs feed from "the geoportail" that I manage to use under QGIS, shows me an error message on FME. : https://wxs-gpu.mongeoportail.ign.fr/externe/39wtxmgtn23okfbbs1al2lz3/wfsHave you ever encountered this? If yes, how ? thank you in advance ! :)

Hi, So with this transformer you can pick from workspaces that are on FME Server, regardless of what services have been enabled for those workspace. It is not clear to me whether this works only for those configured as "Job Submitter" or any of them. The main questions I have are:If there are multiple services enabled for a workspace, is there a default it will use?Since you cannot specify the service when configuring the settings of this transformer, does it mean it will just run the workspace regardless, as if it was configured for "Job Submitter" only?If the workspace is configured for "Data Streaming" only, I suppose it would just run and you won't actually see the results as FME Server would get the data but the user won't see it, correct? I suppose I can test this myelf... Thanks for any insight you might share. if you're interested in further commentary as to why I'm

Hello everyone. I am trying to transform KML parcel data into cityGML GenericCityObject and get as close as possible to a sample file I was given. I am particularly interested in the LOT_KEY attribute. When I transform it, I manage to get it into the attributes and that is all fine. But I can't understand why boundeBy happens outside of the  GenericCityOject. I need it to be also within as the sample file I also has it. Does anyone know what am I missing?  citygml_feature_role in my file shows cityOjectMember and in the sample file boundedBy.This is my file:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><core:CityModel xmlns:brid="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/bridge/2.0" xmlns:tran="http://www.opengis.net/citygml/transportation/2.0" xmlns:frn="
