Extract Only Trunk Lines

Hi, I have a road network(polygon) from where I extracted the center line. But, since there are donuts and holes in between the areas, it is not getting possible to extract the center line on a medial axis using CenterLineReplacer, so I am using the straight skeleton mode. But, it has too many short lines connecting the trunk line. I have tried using topology builder and list element counter to find the junction nodes to remove the nodes having just 1 junction. But, since there are multiple short lines connected, it is still not possible.Is there a way to do it?

Extract Geometry as per Color

Hi Experts, I am working with FME 2018.0. I have a set of roads as per the traffic congestion while red being the most, green being medium and blue being least congested. I have to extract the roads as per the color as below:Out of red, green, blue- red. Only red is extracted out of red, green and blue.Out of green, blue- green. Only green is extracted out of green and blue.blue as it is.I have tried using GeometryValidator, Intersector, but seems none of these are working. Any suggestions, advices

For loop in FME

I'm accessing an API using FME and trying to fetch records by passing certain ids as a parameter to the API . For example the API is,https://developers.onemap.sg/commonapi/elastic/omsearch?searchVal=1&returnGeom;=Y&getAddrDetails;=YIn the above API, I need to keep on increment the value of searchVal=1 from 1 to 100 and then pass each to httpcaller to return the response.I'm able to do this using python caller and get the response using for loop concept. But, I want to do this without python and use any other transformers which does the trick for me.Any guidance would be appreciated.Thanks!

New AVF writer update

Good afternoon,Is there a new AVF writer that displays the updated attributes? Also, is there a way to edit the AVF writer attributes? Updating the attributes in the writer is grayed out and I am unable to update the writer. Thanks!David

Is there a way to transfer attributes, not geometry, from one feature to another?

Good morning,I was wondering what the best practice is for transferring attributes, not geometry, from one feature to another? For instance, I want the ID number from one feature to be placed in another feature, to show correlation, but keep the original geometry.Thank you!David

Data Inspector - missing records

Hi all,I am having a problem when using the data inspector..Often when scrolling through results data will just 'drop out' - never to reappear/refresh.I have to manuall hit the refresh button an often this will not rectify 'lost area'.Please see attached image.Note the rows are blank yet when you look at the window on the right side of the screen you can see the data values actually exist in the table.Thanks for viewing my question.Any ideas on where to trouble shoot this issue would be much appreciated.ThanksLenny in Australia

I have been attempting to export a mosaic into CADRG (.GN), on a set of maps that I stitched together and created one single global GeoTiff. Each time I run the CADRG writer the export completes but automatically projects in Polar Sterographic projection and has had a blank band through the center of the chart. Ideally I would like this export to be in Geo Lat Long WGS84. Does anyone know hoe to solve these issues?

Polygons disappear after using dissolved transformer

I have two set of polygons A and B. After passing by dissolver transformer, it doesn't dissolve all the polygons. Instead it only dssolves in a random fashion. This results in missing of the polygons in dissolved polygon shape.Polygon A:Polygon B:After dissolving A, B. I get this output. Clearly it is missing few of the polygons in dissolved shape.Also shown below - Highlighting the dissolved in dotted(with coordinates) and missing the other polys with no dots.Used parameters:Any thoughts please?Tagging in @takashi, @erik_jan, @TiaAtSafe, @Mark2AtSafe, @RylanAtSafe

Change the location of FME feature Store file

I'm running out of disk space for the default location of the feature store C:\\Users\\user \\AppData\\Local\\Temp\\. I'd like to change the location of the feature store to a different hard drive.

FME Challenge: Choosing the Right Transformer (Webinar Tie-In)

Hi FME'ers,In an hour or so we're starting the webinar on Choosing the Right Transformer (24-May, 10am PDT). Several users already submitted scenarios where they are facing a challenge finding the right transformer, and Dale, Iris, and I will try and live-build a workspace to solve their issue.At the same time, we had a few scenarios that we won't have time to cover in full, and wanted to throw them out for your suggestions. So, if you think you know what transformers to use in the following scenarios, or if you have a brief scenario that we can try and demonstrate online, please let us know in the comments below.We'll do our best to work this content into the webinar to make it really live (and quite exciting for us presenters!) - and if you have any comments on the webinar or suggestions for the challenges we are showing, do also let us know.CheersMarkScenario 1: Given this feed of live cycle data from TFL (Transport for London), which transformers would you suggest t

FME Challenge: FME-Created Poetry!

Hi folks,If you lurk around FME accounts on Twitter, you may have seen a recent exchange of poetry between a few of us. I've posted them at the foot of this message.Anyway, it made me think that a good challenge for us would be to create FME-generated poetry. So here we are! I don't really think there are many rules except you must use mostly FME (I can allow a bit of Python etc, but not connecting directly to an API that generates the poem for you).In case it sounds a bit complex, here are some suggestions:Read random messages from Twitter and merge them togetherHave a dataset of poems and select random lines from eachHave a dataset of words and try to construct sentences from themUse an API that (for example) helps determine if words rhymeTake an existing poem and replace words with random attribute valuesIf you don't think your FME skills are up to it, just write us a nice poem about FME!And you will definitely get bonus points for:A workspace that generates a different poem each ti

Can Attribute Manger Strip leading Zeros from Text field?

I have a workflow that reads a MS Access file and splits two attributes into two separate values each by means of two AttributeSplitter transformers. I then use the AttributeManager transformer to place the 4 new values into 4 new char attributes. I need to strip the leading zeros from two of these fields and was wondering if this could be done in AttributeManager? If not how could it best be done before the AttributeManager (the next step is to use AttributeManager to concatenate these values.

Find the Total Production (total sum) with 40 years of monthly data.

Hey everyone, I'm getting used to FME and needed some help with a task that I wanted to complete. I have an excel sheet that has the total produced oil, water, and gas for a month at a time per column. Each row represents one year of a well. I tried using the doing the StatisiticsCalculator and Im getting the cumulative sum but I just want one final sum for each well. I have production data going back to the 80s so the running cumulative is way to many rows. Does anyone know how I can get the total sum for each well?

Hello all,I'm converting CAD data and I'm receiving this error code: Postcondition failed at topology.cpp:1089. Expression: remainingLRP != nullptrI'm thinking that it is caused by bad CAD data. Has anyone seen this error before?Also, I'm just looking at Walls (for the moment), but when I translate the data, doors from the door layer come through. Does anyone know what may be causing this?Thanks, David

FME 2018 Workspace runner crashes

Hi FME'ers,I am working with the new WorkspaceRunner transformer in FME 2018 (Build 18284 - WIN64). I have come across an issue whereby the first FME process always stalls then crashes. For example, if I run 3 processes with 1 workspace each, the first will stall while the other two run to completion then the first will crash.I am writing to ESRI Geodatabase (ArcSDE Geodb) in transaction mode with 5000 features per transaction. Before running I truncate the tables with arcpy so they are not getting locked. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?Thank youDavid

2018 inspector takes forever to open, what can I do?

After I've run a workspace with FME 2018, the inspector takes like forever to start. Anything from several minutes to forget-about-it. For compability reasons, I have multiple FME installations at my windows 7 corporate PC (which is a pretty hardcore piece of a machine (32gb ram, ssd, plenty of processing power) - if this machine can't run it, nothing can). No issues so far - except that the 2018 inspector will either give up completely or take minutes to show the data I've piped into it. FME 2017 and older seems to work fine. Unless a lot of other people are complaining, I guess there must be something fishy with my setup. Any ideas welcome.
