Hi! I'm working with citygml files in sketchup (with extension). I keep getting double geometries (vertices .001mm apart) as a result of an intersect in another cad type program (then exported to me) How to eliminate these double geometries? t

From a program called topocad I receive building models drawn from drone point cloud. In order to build more complicated parts of the building, they are generated using extrude-> intersect. This creates geometry problems when imported into sketchup with tiny segments, duplicate overlapping points and as result, polygons, or missing polygons. I have tried to snap and repair using areagapoverlaycleaner, 3d snapper, geometry validator with no luck. I'm missing something in the process of data cleaning in fme so I ask for some tips. #1 gml->gml routine . #2 double lines created that snap to vertices .001 mm apart. #3 how it looks when imported

FeatureReader playback woes

Hi all.When running a FeatureReader normally, it outputs the schema feature for a given dataset before all features. This enables writing to a dynamic writer.However, when attaching the dynamic writer to a previously run (and cached) FeatureReader, and then asking for playback, it seems that the schema features are apparently _NOT_ played back before the corresponding features from the same transformer, crashing the writer.Is it true, is this really WAD ?It kinda ruins the idea of incrementally building and debugging a workspace.Cheers.

FeatureMerger on closest value

Hi I'm currently trying to combine 2 datasets based on a shared set value where table 1 attribute 1 ex. = 500, and table 2 Attribute1 also = 500, and there would be duplicate 500 values in both datasets so to do an effective Join I'm attempting to also join on *closest mileage value, the mileage is not exactly the same between the two tables so it would need to be within rage or closet to sort of function where first the join would be attribute 1 being the same between both tables and then joining table 2 to table 1 where the mileage from table 2 is cloest to table 1 mileage.

Writing data to a sde geodatabase (Esri Geodatabase /ArcSDE Geodb), but I got an error: invalid cursor state

Hello all, I am trying to write some data to my SDE geodatabase(file), and I tried two transformers to achieve my goals: Feature writerI got an error: invalid cursor state from the database. When I filtered one row and run the writer, the data were successfully injected, but some of the injected data are different from the intended data. For example, a foreign key needs to be injected as 5 but it's injected as null or 2 in a different row. Please see the setting below. Python CallerI used Geometry extractor to write the shape attribute, Shape@XY with the value (longitude, latitude), and then used arpy.cursor.insurtRow to insert the data under the input function using feature.getAttribute method. I got an error: the INSERT statement conflicted with the FOREIGN KEY constraint.  Thank you,Tae

Extract polygons from geometrycollection

When overlaying polygons I can get points, lines and polygons in a single result GeometryCollection. I'm sure this is a simple question (and have searched the knowledge base etc), but how do I use FME Workbench to detect such GeometryCollections and then extract just the polygons from the GeometryCollections?

When reading a geodatabase relationship class, is there any way to determine what are the origin and destination feature classes?

In a file geodatabase (GDB) to GDB translation, I am writing dynamically to a blank (unpopulated) template GBD that has relationship classes. From a source GDB I am reading features both from feature classes that participate in relationships and from the relationship feature classes themselves. I get the usual geodb_feature_has_relationships and geodb_oid format attributes on the participant features, and I get the usual geodb_type (= geodb_relationship in this case), geodb_rel_origin_oid, and geodb_rel_destination_oid format attributes on the relationship features; however, to keep the workspace generically dynamic and reusable, I need to determine--during translation--the names of the origin and destination feature classes for the relationship classes being read. Of course, I know what those feature classes are before runtime, but the dynamic, i.e., non-prescient, workspace does not. Is runtime determination of the origin and destination feature class names of an existing relatio

Removing all spaces in an attribute

Hi, I am working on two excel-files that I wanted to merge with address. Unfortunately I am struggling to merge with the address since they are formatted differently for each excel file. For example: Alex Olssons Road 50 - Alex Olssons road 50 There are more strange cases where there are lower and upper case letters between each spaces. I wanted change the attribute for addresses in both files so that all the letters are in uppercase and all spaces are removed to make it easier to merge. For example: ALEXOLSSONSROAD50 Any ideas what transformer I should use?

TopologyBuilder creates duplicate nodes

This question comes just after a question about lines snapping I asked: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D5Dm000005KcrfKAC/linecombiner-with-attribute-not-working Input data are snapped and combined lines, which form a whole network. Each lines being snapped before, there should not be small holes between these. In order to have a proper network and edges and nodes relationship, I use the TopologyBuilder.From 3935 lines as input, it creates 3935 edges and 3502 nodes. But in these nodes, there are a few duplicates with a distance of 10e-6 meters... Even if before that, the lines have been snapped with 1 meter value.The location of these duplicates is often at nodes where the touching lines come from different datasources (Postgis / Shapefile), but have been snapped before and with the same attributes. Do you know how to fix that ? Here is the configuration for the TopologyeBuilder:

Httpcaller transfer error: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data)

I have an issue with a httpcaller trying to call an app server. It makes the same call for a number of times for different customers replacing only the custumer name in the URL. For most calls it is working but for at least one call I get the error HTTP transfer error: Server returned nothing (no headers, no data) after exactly two minutes. On the app server it processes the call for about 8 minutes before returning an answer. However it seems the httpcaller has already "given up" by this point. Timeout is set to 1200 seconds.  It seems to be an issue with FME or the workbench of some kind, but I just can't figure it out. I hope somebody can help.  Regards Rasmus

LineCombiner with attribute not working

I have troubles in using the LineCombiner, with 2 different datasources as input. The first is fme_line from Postgis (MultiLineString, but deaggregated) and the second is fme_line from Shapefile. Both have the same projection system, are in 2D, and have the same attribute schema: only "troncon_id" as string which should be used as merging attribute. I would like to join common line between the two datasources and produce a unique dataset. Hower, the resulting data a correctly merged when coming from the same datasource, but not merged for lines with the same troncon_id and common point (Qgis snapping option). They do not overlap or intersect.Here are the parameters used:An example of not combined lines :

Write arcgis online feature layer. Wrong number of records

Hi, I am reading an Oracle spatial table (points) and i only want to write it to AGOL. I have 17624 records in the source. When the feature layer is created I only have 12.000 records. Or with another try I have 10.000 records. The table of the feature layer is also created and I see the atributes. In AGOL you get a thumbnail wich basically shows what you have created. That turns white so it looks like there is no geometry. When I open the layer the map is zooming to the right extend but also no points to view. i tried written the feature layer again with only one attribute in it. That went well. How can I solve this issue.FME desktop 2022.2.0.0. (build 22765)

How do I automate DWGReader to skip this bad file?

I have a workspace that reads data from a long list of DWG files and writes specific features to a SHP file. The status the drawings could be anything, including corrupt so I have Rejected Feature Handling set to Continue Translation. When the workspace runs, I can see in the log that some DWG files are skipped for various reasons. A new problem occurs when it hits the attached DWG file. It is a Civil3d file and the log shows that FME finds a resource to read it, but then it just sits there and nothing happens for a few minutes until I get an error.  For now I have deleted the file from the list, but it would be better if the workspace would simply skip it and go on to the next file. How do I do this?
