How can I get an oriented bounding box?

I am trying to create a 2D oriented bounding box around the point cloud of a roof with a boundingboxreplacer and the appropriate option, but the result is the same as a standard 2D bounding box. I expect an rotated bounding box. What am I doing wrong?

compare attributes by group

HiI want to know for all records with a certain project number whether certain other attributes are the same. For example, all the records with projectnumber A97652 must have the same startdate and owner, if ist not the same then i must change the one that's different. I think i need a transformer with a group by function. I have tried the matcher but it doesn't do exactly what i want. Does anyone know wich transformer i have to use?

How to use digest authentication in HTTPCaller ?

Hi, I have to do a SOAP request to an API inside a workspace and I have to use Digest Authentication.The URL is in HTTPS protocol, I have a "SOAPAction" header and a body with a text/xml Content-Type. Inside the HTTPCaller I checked the "Use Authentication" box and entered the right credentials.I also use Fiddler on the same machine to see which request is sent. So, my problem is that i get a 500 internal server error because "there is no body, SOAP XML message". It's weird cause i really have the specified body, but when i see it in Fiddler, there is indeed no body, there's just the headers. The thing is, when i use a Basic Authentication, the problem is not there, a body is present in the request... (of course the request is then rejected because of the wrong authentication though). What am I missing in the configuration of this transformer ? Thank you for your answers !

Merging a UINT8 attribute with a UINT64 attribute output an UINT8 attribute that goes beyond 255.

Hi, I have two CSV readers containing the same informations but with different range of value. Let's say that I have something like this:Reader_1:[ATTRIBUTE_1](UINT8)[ATTRIBUTE_2](DOUBLE)And Reader_2:[ATTRIBUTE_1](UINT64)[ATTRIBUTE_2](DOUBLE)(FME has choosed the datatype automatically) Since both reader have the same attribute's name, I connect both reader's output to a "sorter" transformer. And here, a weird thing happens, the sorter output ATTRIBUTE_1 as UINT8 (I expected that FME would choose the biggest datatype, not the smallest one). But some value are bigger than 255:Is that a miracle ? Then I use a StatisticCalculator to find the max value of ATTRIBUTE_1 group by some other attributes and the output is, this time, limited to 255. So why FME do not pick the biggest datatype ? How can a FME_UINT8 variable be bigger than 255 and what can I do to calculate my statistics correctly ? Of course I can manually change the ATTRIBUTE_1 datatype, but that does not explain that weird be

How to use the NDVI calculator

Hi I have a near infrared jpg. In the data inspector it says Band 0 (GRAY8). When I look at the NDVI calculator I see two ports (Red, Infrared). I've seen somebody used something like this: I don't know how to configure the testfilters so they give the correct output. Can somebody tell me if that's the way to go and if so how to configure the testfilters?

ListSearcher added output port attribute becomes <missing>!

How to change the min or max from a raster

Hi I would like to mosaic some geotifs togheter to make a DTM from a larger area. Some of the geotif tiles have a min of -9999. If you load the tile in QGIS it's completely blank. If you check the rastervalue's they give the correct height. So it's only cosmetic, the data is ok. You can adjust the min in QGIS, resulting in a much better result. I tried to change the min of the geotifs with a negative min in FME. I use the rasterbandminmaxextractor followed by a simple tester. So far it works, but now I want to change the min to 0. I used the attributemanager and I used the rastercellvaluereplacer. They both don't work. I've also tried the rasterinterpretationcoercer a bit, but it changed the values. How should I fix this ?

Can I iterate over all tables within ESRI Enterprise Geodatabase and extract ID's of different column names?

I have many tables in my ESRI SDE, within most of these tables they contain an Asset_ID, this colmn name varies, it could be many things including AID, AssetID, ASSETID, Asset_ID etc. I need to extract all rows from all tables where the Asset_ID field is present, and has been populated, then push the row into a GeoPackage. That part I am OK with, I just have never worked with the first part, iterating over n number of tables, searching for a varying field name. Can anyone provide any comments or samples to get me off the ground here? I greatly appreciate you taking the time. Kind regards, Ben

How to properly use indices{} in CoordinateExtractor ?

I have run into some quirky polygons and wanted to see how many nodes/points they consist of. In SQL Server, I can do:Select [SHAPE].STNumPoints()FROM <mytable>where id = 'abc' -- result: 45 When I use the CoordExtractor, I'm prompted to specify the indices of x-coordinates and y-coordinates I want to extract, or I can choose "All Coordinates' and then later extract those I'd like to take a look at. But it turns out, I can ask for index 100,000, and FME will return something that looks like coordinates. Am I not doing this right, or misinterpreting the nature of these indices?

is there a way when using the AreaOnAreaoOverlayer to overlay by date, where it will drop areas if it does not overlay in the following ascending date?

Why am I getting these stretched hexagons at the edges of my data?

Followed the example provided by @jovitaatsafe, and the workflow appears to be exactly what I need to do with my data, where I have a number of points in different areas, and want to aggregate by count into hexagons. The hexagons are also showing up in the ocean near Africa, so I'm guessing this is a map projection issue? But not sure where to resolve it exactly.

How can I build separate lines from this data?

I've been sent some data - a simplified example would be like the below with XY coordinate points each with an attribute to say whether that location was covered or not. I need to create lines from these points, but I only want lines from the points that are 'Yes' covered, and each section of consecutive points that are 'Yes' covered needs to be a different line. Logically if I could ask the questions... "Are you a 'Yes' point?" and "Is the point before/after you a 'No' point?" I could find the first and last points of each line but I don't know how to do this in FME.Does anyone have any solutions or pointers?Thanks

How to use FME_HOME Parameter with Microstation DGN Files?

When I use this parameter I'm presented with an input error and can't run the workspace. Setting up correct path to seed and cell files is mandatory to any workspace built upon this file format. But it can't hold true that any client is requested to set up these FME specific path!? Looking forward to hearing any suggestions from you! Thanks Whkarto
