Hello, I want to rotate my point cloud using 3drotate along the Z Axis. The thing is the rotation is made around the origin 0,0,0. So i extracted the centerpoint of my point cloud to use it as an Origin but I don't know what to put in Direction to still rotate it around Z axis Thank you

Hi,I'm working with land use data derived from satellite imagery, and I've encountered a persistent issue with gaps and overlaps. I've already use TopologyBuilder and AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner transformer in FME, and while they've resolved some areas effectively, there are still instances where gaps persist, and some areas have been unintentionally cut off.I've experimented with reducing the tolerance values, but the problem persists. Has anyone faced similar challenges, and do you have any suggestions or alternative approaches to address this issue effectively?Your insights and expertise would be greatly appreciated!

Just curious about it as there are different approaches, and would like to understand better my results and analysis.

I am converting ESRI gdb tables to Josn format(text_line), but unfortunately few of attribute values are given extra/unnecessary precision?data from tables : "aos" : 105.20 ,"aos" : 293.22 output generated : "aos" : 105.20999999999999, "aos" : 293.22000000000003To avoid this I have used attribute rounder , but no use, client required only 2 digits after (it should be float) . could some one help to resolve this issue on this.I have used the below transformers gdb readerattribute manager and attribute rounderJosn templaterText file writer (text_line)Thanks in advanceChandra Sekhar Guda  

I am trying to extract getVertexIndices from a mesh and I have to implement a loop when I use the getVertexIndices() method. Also, I am getting different sizes of the list coming through the getVertexIndices() method. Is there a way to get the list of all vertex indices at once and of uniform size?  @daveatsafe​ @Takashi Iijima​ @Hans van der Maarel​ 

As workaround I can create user parameter as intermedia parameter then get it accessed by shutdown python script. But I am more like to find the way to let shutdown python script to DIRECTLY access deployment parameters. Any tip?Thanks,Daniel

I have 200 files. Their names have spaces. I want to replace these spaces in each file name with a dash. What is the best way to do this. I know I start with the pathnames reader. But, what is the next transformer(s) I need to add?

Hello, I wanted to continue my course when I realised that instead of eight completed modules there is only three. Howewer in the list of completed modules there is the correct number. It seems that there is no cenection between modules and the whole course. When I click to continue course it shows up an empty incomplete module next to the completed one.

Hello Forum, I've searched previous questions, but couldn’t find an answer. I've no doubt someone has posted this before. But, sorry, I couldn’t see it. I need to replace a specified value within an attribute to another value. I have an attribute (field) called Zone Type. Each cell in that attribute has one of several possible values. Where the value is "container" I need to replace it with "Outside CPZ". I don’t want to change any other values. How do I do this? I've tried through AttributeManager but couldn’t work it out. Thanks,Stuart  

I have a column that contains a lot of special characters. By using transformer 'StringReplacer', I can replace i.e. an '#' by an ' '; How can I replace a list of special characters of 10 or more characters. Do I need to use 10 StringReplacers?

We have a process that sends an e-mail to approximately 10,000 subscribers to inform them of crime in their area based off a buffer from the subscriber address that we are considering to replace. Is this feasible using FME Flow or FME Hosted? Or is that too many e-mails to send at once using these platforms?

attribute only display elevation in geometry ，who can tell me why​

Hello everyone, I have an Excel list with many first and last names. For the next process step I need the gender of the person. My idea here was to establish a new attribute (salutation) and fill it with the appropriate form of salutation (Sir or madam). Is this possible with FME? Thank you very much for your support.

Hello – I am hoping someone can help. I asked a similar question previously and got a working solution: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D5Dm00001GWvsMKAT/calculating-total-second-from-hhmmss-field However that solutions only works for hh:mm:ss fields that are under 24 hours as soon as that field is over the 24 hours I get a blank value. @DateTimeDiff(@Value(Duration),000000,seconds) Does anyone know of an alternative solution so it would calculate the total seconds for records under and above 24 hours? Many,Thanks

Hi everyone,I'm new to Smallworld and FME working together. The only thing I'd like to achieve to update one attribute, not the geometry. I set fme_db_operation = UPDATE and I didn't give any geometry information. After running workspace i could see a few records being updated but translation failed with this message: Number of Features: 1Connecting to Smallworld on localhost:30000 using service FMENOFACTORYTable: 'gis.point_of_interest'NumberOfAttributes: 16Processing a pointError running translation. Do you have any idea why this happens? Many thanks

Hello, Does anyone know of a way to use the HTTP Caller or another Reader/Transformer to download the entire contents of a Google Drive folder? There is a Drive folder (not owned by me) that hosts folders of shapefile data (link below). Does anyone know how to possibly download these folders in zip format so I can then process them as shapefiles in FME? I can download the whole folder directly in Google Drive, but I'd like to have this done automatically so I can schedule this workflow to run once a month. Any help is greatly appreciated. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KLb-8DcrXkVFW8b2OmbOnEEueQNSUS5Y

Hi, I am a master scholar conducting a study on BIM and GIS. I am also new to using FME and don't have a background in computer science. My question is, what is the difference between the attributes in a table and the hidden attributes in properties? Why are they hidden, and why is it necessary to expose them using the Transform Attribute Exposer (not Automatic Exposer)? Additionally, what are trails? I'm somewhat confused about understanding these terms.Another question regarding geometry, from my readings, geometry can be created through BREP, Extruded, and Sweep methods. How is this determined in FME, as I only see IFMEMesh, IFMEFace, and so on?

I want to set the vector tolerance value in the Matcher with a dynamic value. Currently, I can use a parameter value only. Is it possible to use an attribute value for this, or how can I set this value more dynamically? I have been trying also to create a custom transformer with the matcher in it. However, I got the same issue.

Is there a method in FME, similar to ArcGIS Pro, for exporting a model to a Python file?

Hello , i would like to design pdf that contains many tables look like excel file and these tables will filled in with some attribute names and some values  Fme 2021     

In the Feature Inspector, you can see the Geometry and the Contents. The Contents section includes the Property and Data Type columns. Where is Values column? How do get I the Property values to display?

I'm testing Geocoder transoform. It works well with ArcGIS Online. With OSM I have this error: Geocoder_2_CALLER: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='nominatim.openstreetmap.org', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /?format=json&q=Strada+Villa+17%2C+37010+Cavaion+Veronese%2C+Italy (Caused by SSLError(SSLCertVerificationError(1, '[SSL: CERTI... I use FME(R) 2022.2.1.0 (20221202 - Build 22776 - WIN64) for ArcGIS (Data Interoperability extension).

Using FME workbench 2023.0, I am trying to make updates to some rows in a PostgreSQL table by using the FeatureWriter transformer that takes a csv as the updated dataset as input. However, I am unable to fully run the workbench as it takes an incredible amount of time to run, with the warning message: "POSTGRES Writer: Bulk Insert is set to Yes, but a conflicting Feature Operation has been detected. Feature type 'ela_master.lim_watr_chem_anal_arbi' has a Feature Operation of 'Update'. Bulk Insert is now being set to No, which can cause insert operations to be much slower" I have made updates to the exact same table using the exact same FeatureWriter transformer parameters before with no problem... and this is a new issue I'm encountering, and quite frankly I have no idea how to solve it. Can someone please tell me how I can fix this? Thanks.
