How to assign a spatial reference to DGNV8 files?

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?

Maps

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.

Make 3D faces from points

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

Read BIM360 Custom attributes

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?

FMEServerJobSubmitter fails when triggered from FME Server.

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

Exposing custom IFC properties

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.​​​​​​​​​​​

FME Core keeps trying to update FME Server services

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".

How to Create an Accurate Surface from Triangles

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?

Updates within a table based on consecutive attribute values

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).

What's Up Wednesday (22-June-2022): User Projects and Case Studies, Online Video Presentations, A New Build, and the FME Scavenger Hunt continues...

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

RasterDEMGenerator Issue

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​

PythonCaller Question

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.
