Hi. The image below is an extract from a much larger dataset. The image shows: Vegetation as the green polygonBuildings as hollow fill polygons The polygons are on two different datasets and have been built in such a way that the edge between the two polygons are 'edge to edge'. I need to be able to identify those buildings that 'touch' the vegetation polygon which I have identified with the red dot.It's been a while since I had to use this type of analysis and after searching the FME forum I'm still stuck. I guess could be overcomplicating my thought process. I know MapInfo has the functionality to do this but wanted to learn FME's approach. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Does anyone know if it is possible to clip a point cloud to a boundary when reading into a workspace? Often I have the need to only work with part of a point cloud file and my full files are frequently up to 10GB (in las format), though usually smaller. I'm also reading up to 100 similarly sized files at once Basically, I would like to read only the section of a point cloud that's in a boundary to save on time/computing power/memory/etc. If this isn't possible would I be able to thin instead when I read to load less data? I'd like to avoid having to use an external program to clip/thin first if at all possible. I already do this

Hi all,  I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to extract the top/base lines from vertical planes as a surface? It would be the lines in red/blue shown in the image below?  I've tried extracting the lines using a geometry part extractor but end up with triangular lines representing the surface. I wondered about maybe converting to a pointcloud and then taking the max/min values for points with the same X/Y as the planes are all vertical.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks! 

Hi;How and in which transformers is it possible to implement the documented mathematical function if() in a text or arithmetic editor?.As a result, I always get <null>.Thank you.

Execution of statement `SELECT SDO_VERSION FROM DUAL' did not succeed; error was `ORA-00904: "SDO_VERSION": invalid identifier' -- this is the error I am getting everytime, not sure if oracle has some problem in fme backend, seems to be working in db directly

Hey, I have a Server App setup using my FME server where it allows users to select a location on an interactive map, and enter details into a text box.  I would love to expand this to also allow the user to upload n images to be associated with this form submission. I have been looking for a tutorial for guidance, but they all seem to be setup around the user submitting a document like a CSV with data to be extracted and processed, mine is simpler than that, I just want to 'move' the images to a resource directory for future reference, but this 'move' process is where I get stuck. EDIT: So after stepping away from my computer and coming back I think I have worked out the process, but the output file is 'corrupt' and the image cannot be viewed. Is there anything specific I need to have setup so that files are output exactly as they are uploaded? 

I have tried to add feature reader after the WFS reader, it did not work. I then tried to use python caller to unzip the shapefile first. But it looks like the zipped shapefile gets deleted after wfs reader finishes. Has anyone successfully used SHAPE-ZIP as WFS reader output format? how do you get that data into the next step?   

Let's say I have data with an attribute "A" which is an integer. I want to process all incoming features with the same attribute the same way (example: check for overlapping geometries within that group of features). But I do not know beforehand what that number will be. How do I do that in FME? Looking for something like AttributeFilter, but with unknown attributes.I suspect the "group-by" option can do this for some tools, but I'm not sure how to apply it for this problem.

Are FME Desktop Licences tied to IP Address of the machine or Hardware Configuration?

I did a clean installation of the software as administrator but the startup screen hangs on loading transformers. Have anybody any idea? See screenhot attached

Hello everyone,I am probably posting in the wrong forum section. If that is the case, I am sorry for that.  I was wondering one thing. Normally, there is a FME Desktop training available for every year on the following link: https://www.safe.com/training/recorded/. But for some reason there is no FME desktop 2021 available on this link. Is this only for 2021 the case or does it mean that FME desktop trainings will not be made available anymore online from now on?

Hi everyone, I've got to convert waypoint files to GPX files. I also need to convert txt to GPX. Please let me know if there is a work instruction for either conversion. Kind Regards, David

Hello,I have a pipe table (Polylines) and a manhole table (Points). I would like to spatially join the point located at each pipe start, to link the attributes of each entity. I manage without problem to find the point for the beginning of the line thanks to a NeighborFinder, but impossible for the end point. How to do ? Possible ? Thank you in advance.

How to run exec and grant command in fme like "exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(‘Schema_name’, ‘Table_name’)" and "GRANT SELECT ON table_Name TO public"

I have a table called PROJECTS with some records sharing similar names. The objective is to find these records and merge them to one if possible. SamplePROJECTS table with Field1, Field2, Field3  From the above table, I want to look into Field3 and find similar names, such as Paper Company, Paper Company. and Paper Co and merge these into a single record. They are not exactly duplicates, but share a similar name. There are more records with similar names, so I can't hard-code Paper Company because there are more records alike that share similar names.  What transformers can I use to complete such task? Thank you.

Hi, I'm currently trying to create geojson with the JSONTemplater to get a txt file at the end of the process. I'm really close to get it but there is something I cannot work around. Here's my final txt file that I have right now :  { "message" : { "sucess" : true, "message" : "La tâche a fonctionné. Vous recevrez un courriel dans les prochaines minutes. Votre numéro d'analyse est le dc82c137-f34a-4fae-806a-af03f2a16cca." }, "geojson" : { "type" : "FeatureCollection", "name" : "transport_hors_norme", "features" : { "type" : "Feature", "geometry" : { "type" : "LineString", "coordinates" : "[-74.25854312432821,46.386997802914244],[-74.25854690900775,46.38701144003504],[-74.2585653228558,46.387067245480985],[-74.25858324562817,46.38711253856072],[-74.25860564958018,46.38716441447192],[-74.25863316909272,46.3872

I have two Workspaces. One creates a KML file of points in countries around the world the KML contains an html popup. The popup presents a link to a server app, the server app generates a static HTML Page for that country. I want to change the text "country parameter" to the country that the popup is in.The goal is to create the html only at run time.

My question is similar to this one: https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hbnqSAA/extruding-building-heights-from-3d-terrain-model-creates-sloped-buildings and Takashi's answer helped me to progress. However, in Takashi's answer, the z value of each vertex is the same (the minimum z value of the whole vertices) but I would like to keep the proper z value of each vertices and then extrude them with different elevation in order to keep a flat roof. My idea is to extract each vertices of the building footprint and extrude them with their own elevation values. SurfaceDraper: Drape the polygon by the terrain surface.VertexExtractor:Calculate elevation of each vertices (building highest altitude minus z value)Extruder: vertical using the elevation calculated beforeRebuild the 3D building geometry from those extruded vertices My question then, is there a way to rebuild the 3D buildings from those extruded 3D points (that are now lines)?   

I am currently upgrading from FME2019/ArcMap 10.8 to FME 2021.2/ArcPro 2.9. In our ArcMap workflow we use the tool VPF-to-Geodatabase via arcpy scripting:arcpy.production.VpfToGeodatabase(in_vpf_features, in_target_geodatabase, in_product, {import_notes}) Being that the tool is not yet developed for ArcPro 2.9, is there a way to force FME to recognize this is an ArcMap tool? I still have both versions of ArcMap and ArcPro installed. I've also tried the option under Translation > ESRI ArcGIS Compatibility set to "Esri ArcMap", with no luck. When changing this, it forces the Python Compatibility from 3.7 to 2.7.

We use FME(R) 2020.0.2.1. I've made a workspace that uses a DateTimeConverter. I then loaded it on FME-Server (FME Server 2020.0.2.1). Now I wanted to change something and downloaded it from FME-Server. When I opened it in FME-Desktop, in the DateTimeConverter there was just a text DATETIMECALC_1_ADD_INTERVAL on a red background in the Mode-Field, and I couldn't do anything with the transformer. I viewed the workspace on FME-Server, there the Transformer looked ok, with all the different parameters filled in.I then tried to use the DateTimeConverter in a new, empty workspace, but it didnt't work anymore neither.(We have FME2021.1.3 installed on the same server, but we don't use it for some reasons. I tried it with this version all the same, but it didn't work neither)What's wrong here, how can I get this transformer to work again? Thanks, Vera

Hello,When I open my app with the URL, I want to integrate external data (like local files) and run the processing but when I run it, an error message is displayed.  Thanks in advance

Hi! I have created components (resistivity and resistivity_class) in a LAS-data. When i uploaded it in FME inspector, the created components showed up, but not in ArcGIS Pro. Any ideas how I can make it to show up in ArcGIS Pro? 

Hi, I've been having a problem and I couldn't find any answer that could help me in the forum.I need to cut a raster mosaic that I did by tiles that I have: But when I run the workspace, in the clipper the whole image is set to "outside" and I can't figure out why. I also need to transform the raster mosaic to multiple rasters by that tile and with the ID that appears in the image, but I didn't get there since everything goes wrong after the clipper transformer. What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
