Getting an error when running a translation from LAS to LAZ format. Could not load module 'C:\\Program Files\\FME\\plugins/LIDAR_FME.dll' : 'The specified module could not be found' Don't think it affects the output. Just wondering if it needs to be fixed? FME(R) 2022.0.0.1 (20220505 - Build 22339 - WIN64

Post upgrade of desktop --- should we replace all the reader and writers or are these upgraded to latest version automatically?

I would like to incrementally download features including attachments (jpg images) using the ArcGIS Portal feature Service Reader. I want to do this by filtering the feature creation date using a tester. This works fine but when I check the option to download the attachments, it takes an enormous amount of time. It's a large datset and I only want to download some of the most recently added data. Is there any way to perform the tester operation first before downloading the attachments?

Writing data to the DGNV8 writer I use a Seed file where the geographic coordinate system is well defined.In addition to the Seed file I defined the coordinate system also in the writer itself, and all data handled in the workbench are going through a reprojecter transformer. The outcome shows the data in the right projection, but it is not reflected in the DGN files properties. What is the right way to get the coordinate system written into the output DGN file?

Is there a way to automate map creation in FME for Esri? I've looked through the documentation and can't seem to find anything.

Hi, I know this is probably very simple but cant think of an easy way to do it. Create faces from points centered at the point. lets say i want 1x1m big faces, thought of creating same amount of faces as points and just offset but there must be a way to convert my input points to faces instead. I used FaceReplacer before but it wont accept points I tried extrude 3 times, x y and z, but then I get correct results sure but with weird middle line that I dont want. I want a solid block/box with a certain x y and z measure result not favorable

i am trying to Transpose Name fields as a Column and Value are valesi tried attribute creater and data coming like this its sholud b in one row

I have a series of raster files of infrared aerial imagery. I would like to intersect them with a set of polygons in a shapefile and return the average (or frequency) of the RGB channels in the rasters. Could anyone advise if this is possible please? ThanksRob

I am trying to read a custom created attribute from BIM360 with the AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector. The BIM360Connector has the option to select some attributes under the "Output Attributes" -> "Attributes to add" option but these are only the standard attributes that Autodesk supplies. I have created an attribute on our BIM360 environment called "InladenGIS" with the value Yes on a specific file. Is it possible to read this attribute value when using the List option on the AutodeskBIM360DocsConnector transformer in FME? If not, is there a possible workaround using the HTTP callers and are there plans to support custom BIM360 attributes in the future?  

We have 2 workbenches which we call 'outer' and 'inner' for our processes. The 'outer' workbench gets parameters and then passes them to the 'inner' workbench for processing. If we are running this in fme workbench, we use a workspace runner to trigger the second process. If we are running this in FME Server, we use an FMEJobSubmitter to trigger the second process (which is also published on FME Server). There is a user parameter to distinguish if it is running on desktop or server and a filter to direct the data to the correct transformer.  Running from FME desktop runs the processes successfully with the workspace runner. We are also successful running the 'outer' from desktop and triggering the 'inner' using the FME Server Job Submitter.  When we run the 'outer' on FME Server, we get a very vague error from FME Server: 2022-06-23 10:43:09| 1.0| 0.0|WARN |FMEServerJobSubmitter (ServerFactory): FME Server error: `Error communicat

Hi everyone,I am trying to expose some custom ​attributes contained within an IFC so I can expose their attributes, see attached image (BIM vision IFC viewer).​There are ​various containers (e.g. SM location) and then custom attributes within those containers.​I followed these instructions with the GPE and Attribute Exposer but they are still not exposed. ​Thanks.​​​​​​​​​​​

To give a brief introduction. We have setup a containerized FME stack where the engines are residing on a different server. As is recommended and because the external engines are not running in the local Docker network, I am using a declarative "PORTPOOL" range. So both in environments "PORTPOOL=9000-9200" and in the ports "9000-9200:9000-9200". Using this setup, I notice the following message keep coming back in the FME Core container: "Trying to update FME Server services..." This keeps on going, where a message every seconds is being send. This seems to only happen when setting both the "PORTPOOL" and defining the ports. Removing this, does not let this message come up. To have some insight in this, I was wondering what this message is actually indicating and what is meant with "update" and "services".

I have the definition of a surface made up of triangles, in this case closed polygons.I want to be able to create an accurate surface that maintains the definition of the polygons, but also interpolates between them, as sketched in red on the attached image.The Triangulator does a good job of maintaining the polygon definitions, but doesn't fill the gaps.The Surface Modeller does fill the gaps, but the result in greatly distorted. Any ideas?

Hello, I have a problem with the ImageFetcher transformer.I'm trying to create images from a WMS link. The error is : _http_error (string: UTF-8): ImageFetcher: The HTTP response did not include a Content-Type header, so the image type cannot be detected. I've tested the WMS link on Firefox, Edge and even on Internet Explorer and its working properly without any error. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello, I have one column that is supposed to contain only numbers.But some values contain letters ou special caracters.With a Tester Transformer, how can I separate features wich the value contain letters or special caracters ? Thank you

Hi !I have a line with his orientation.I would like to orientate parallels lines on the same way.Do you have an idea?Thanks !

Dear colleagues,I'm looking for a way to perform updates within 1 table based on consecutive attribute values. In the attached picture I want to increase/adjust the “Traject_volgnr” if this condition is met for 2 consecutive features : “Route4” is the same but the difference between the consecutive “Hm_pos” is greater than 2. In the example this should give the following result: Line 15089 - 15093 the "Traject_volgnr" remains 1 but in lines 15094 - 1598 the "Traject_volgnr" changes to 2 (or another value).  

Does it possible to connect FME Desktop Professional Edition 2020 with Esri software ?in case not,which license required to connect with Esri software ?please, could someone explain , what is the difference between FME Desktop and FME Server? Thanks in advance

Hi,I've just upgraded from FME 2021 to 2022 and now I don't seem to have the option to save my .fmw file as a .fme for use with the FME Quick Translator.Has anyone any ideas on a workaround?Thanks

Hello FME users,Today is the day for What's Up Wednesday, your weekly FME newsletter. User Projects and Case StudiesI noticed this week several projects and case studies that I thought I'd like to share. Interestingly, they're all local government projects and all from Europe. From Sweden comes a report about how Botkyrka municipality is the first in the country to make all its plans available via the National Geodata Platform. With FME's help of course. The report says: "The goal of phase 1 has been to use as automated flows as possible to increase the quality of our internal plan mosaic, reinterpret its detailed plans into the digital format and make these available as open data in NGP... If any other municipality is interested in how we in Botkyrka have worked with automation in phase 1, I will publish the FME scripts we have produced including sample data on Deladigitalt.se before the summer holidays." Tack for sharing this, André Jacquet. In the UK, 1Spat

After point on area, I want to calculate the average of one attribute if they have the same other two attributes. which function should I use?

Hello, Please can someone help me with this very strange issue i have encountered with the RasterDEMGenerator transformer.  I have uploaded some sample data and the sample workbench. The input features have 40 vertices to pass through to the RasterDEMGenerator but it fails each time, whereas when i add in another transformer - PointCloudCombiner before the RasterDEMGenerator it works fine. I need to get to the bottom of this issue as i cannot use the PointCloudCombiner transformer. Many thanks @Mark Stoakes​ @Takashi Iijima​ @danatsafe​ 

I have a unique request from a user to create shortcuts (desktop shortcuts) in a folder based on a field in a table. I am guessing I need to attempt to use the PythonCaller, but before I went too far down this rabbit hole, I figured I'd reach out to see if anyone had any ideas. Any information or guidance is appreciated.
