I only see that a couple of specific workflows are listed for conversion to 3D Tiles - these include Wavefront OBJ, CityGML, geojson, shp, and FGDB...We would like to simply input raster imagery and elevation (geotiff for instance) and output 3D Tiles.An example workflow that would be acceptable if supported:Raster geotiff imagery to TMSRaster geotiff elevation to TBD FME Mesh format most optimized for conversion to 3D TilesTMS Imagery and FME Mesh to 3D Tiles (b3dm format) 

I tried to display CityGML data in FME Desktop Workbench 2022 (Build 22282 - macosx) and got the following message, when trying to access the 3D Window:3D mode is not supported on this platform. OpenGL 2 or above is required for 3D rendering. Will there be a FME Desktop Version for the Silicon Macs? Soon?kind regardsPeter

Hi all,i am trying to connect with a Azure blob storage container, with the AzureBlobStorageConnector transformer in fme 2020.0.2.1.but its not working i am getting this message: 'Server failed to authenticate the request. Make sure the value of Authorization header is formed correctly including the signature. ErrorCode: AuthenticationFailed' And when i use the SAS url in the browser i see a xml with all the containers that are available in the blob storage.   Could someone help about this topic, please?

I've built a python fastapi web application using the FME Server REST API and was wondering if I'm overlooking where the file extension filters are returned for any file parameters. While I see all of the other parameter information, I am not seeing the file extensions specified in the workspace for a parameter. It does not show this in the REST API call for /repositories/< repository >/items/< item >/parameters, so I was wondering if it is somewhere else or not available at all. Is this a limitation to the FME Server REST API perhaps? The reason for this is that my application is fully dynamic, so the FME workspace drives the creation of the form inputs.

   Hi, Is the following possible?An FME workspace writes to a table. After the writers are ready I want that process to continue with other transformers and an other writer which must be writing last. I don't want to create 2 workspaces. 

FME Desktop 2022: What is the equivalent tool for ArcGIS “join field” in FME? I couldn’t figure out if there is a tool that’s equivalent tool for ArcGIS “join field” in FME. For example, in the screenshot below, I wanted to join the attribute table of the layer L1 with the table T1 to end up with having all the fields of table T1 in the layer L1           

I've found this documentation that mentions that comma should be surrounded with quotes when using in string functions. But the case now that I receive a file name (which contain comma) in a published parameter, then I want to replace part of the file path with some other string using "StringReplacer" function. I can't do this as the value retrieved in the published parameter has already the comma. Any Advise?

HelloI 'm trying to have the Fanout output directory stamped by date, I successfully did that except FME creates 2 folders of same content except one with the date stamp and the other without. Both directories are identical from inside, any advice?I'm using the parquet writer to export Revit elements properties to parquet files, here is my settings for output directory.The output comes as following:What I was expecting is the folder with date only???The same other folder "rst_basic_sample_project" with all its content is replicated in "2022-02-17"I only want "2022-02-17"

I'm trying to extract a tin surface from 3D solid mesh in an FBX file.Ideally we would extract the top and bottom as separate surfaces.Any Ideas?If it isn't possible to filter the top/bottom triangles to create a surface, is there a workflow to create a raster grid sampling the highest/smallest Z at each point?

How to convert the json to attributes so i can use it later in the workspace part of json : {    "content": [        {                "id": "89732" ,.................................... i have used jsonflattener but i found that i got missing data . Thanks in advance FME 2020.2

Newbi question, if i have a table where i want to splitt a collumn into two how woud I do that. Existing formatColumn a , Column B, Column CIndex,0,02022-01,100,2452022-02,101, 1452022-03, 90, 200North,0,02022-02,23, 1232022-03,35,250South,0,02022-01,87,100 Now I need to isolate the column a and the heading values, Index, North, South and make a new column Column a , Column B, Column C, New ColumnIndex,0,0,index2022-01,100,245, index2022-02,101, 145, index2022-03, 90, 200, indexNorth,0,0, north2022-02,23, 123, north2022-03,35,250, NorthSouth,0,0, South2022-01,87,100, South The source can be an excel or a db table. Target is a db tableHow do I do that?

The SurfaceModeller transformer seems to not pass through the fme_basename attribute. I want to pass the name of the file through to the writer at the end of the chain. Is there another way I can do this without using the fme_basename attr?

What is the capability of FME server and what can do more?

Hello, I have a fairly complex flow with lots of SQLexecutors.Recently I had to use also Oracle spatial Writers. The SQL Executor has useful output ports that pass the feature. This allows for example to handle successful or failed writes. The Writer has none of those, seems more like an dead-end. Is it possible to catch an error on feature write somehow?  Thanks in advance

Hi all,I have to create a workflow where we are retrieving public data, either through download or URL and running it through FME for data processing and publishing to our SDE.  The idea is then that this process should be fully automated by adding the FME script as a spatial ETL tool in ArcGIS Pro, and then publishing it as a web tool to an ArcGIS server with DI extension for server.  This way we can just schedule that tool to run on a monthly basis, where new data is downloaded and being published to our SDE without us having to do anything :-) My problem is this: How do I handle the data and data connections in my script? Can I set up some parameters ensuring that even though my script is now running as a web tool on a different server, it still has a data connection to my SDE? And can I ensure that access to my "downloaded" or URL data is still intact through the web tool on the server, for instance using some kind of sc

This has happened so many times that I have lost count: I try to import values from the source in AttributeFilter. After the process is complete, it gives me nothing!The latest time is trying to get them from an IFC file. I select fme_feature_type in the dropdown, hit the import button, the feature types show upI select all of themI select fme_feature_type and check the use format attributesIt thinks a second, and....NOTHINGThis has happened with dwgs as well. fme_feature_type is exposed in the reader. I tried selecting other value types in the wizard to no avail.What is going on? I have attached screenshots to illustrate.Thanks

I have a large POSTGIS database table with 10+ million features and I'm trying to "clip" it to another geometry that is already read into the workbench. Is there any examples of this in a tutorial or something?

I am using FME 2020 (Build 20218) and I find that if I expose the fme_basename and fme_dataset in the Reader Feature Type they are read normally and have no issue, however I am curious why if I use an AttributeExposer to expose those attributes in the workspace, the values for these attributes are exposed with null values. What is causing the AttributeExposer to remove the values when it exposes these format attributes? 

Hi all,I have a workspace that has an Emailer transformer where the Email's body is the customed HTML_content. This works fine with FME desktop 2020.2 (build 20787-win64) but failed with FME Server 2020.1.1. (build 20608-win64).The error message was: Python Exception <ModuleNotFoundError>: No module named 'fmepy_emailer'I wonder if this is because of:incompatibility between 2 versions (2020.2 vs 2020.1.1)?or is it because the FME server doesn't support the Emailer transformer?At the moment, upgrading FME Server isn't an option for me.I have tried the Email function in the Automations of FME Server but it doesn't have an option for me to include HTML content in the Email's body but rather an HTML attachment - this means every time I will have to click the attachment and it will be opened in a browser.Any suggestion? Many thanks! 

I am using FME ArcSDE Writer to create features for a feature class in a table of an enterprise geodatabase with editor tracking enabled. If I run the writer FME logs the message that the fields The field 'created_user' in table 'ABC' will not be updated since it is not editableThe field 'created_date' in table 'ABC' will not be updated since it is not editableThe field 'last_edited_user' in table 'ABC' will not be updated since it is not editableThe field 'last_edited_date' in table 'ABC' will not be updated since it is not editableWhen the translation has finished, the created_user field is set to the schema name of the postgresql db. Is it possible to specify the created_user manually in the writer?

Hello, i'm new to FEM. ​ I have a problem about changing the storage locationWhen the software FME Date Inspector reads the data, the data appear to be temporarily stored in this file. Is it possible to change this path?I have not much space on my c drive, and i got a very huge data, for the remaining space of my c drive, it is not enough to support the software to read this data

I would like to create a TIN from DEM (.TIFF or .DEM). I would be grateful if you could tell me which Transformer and Writter can be used.  

fme_polygon covert with FaceReplacer, then with GeometryCoercer convert to fme_mesch. Why MeshSimplifier feature put to Rejected port with code invalid_mesh?

To whom may concern, We are currently trying to upload a 6GB obj mesh model to cesium ion, but errors showed up when retrieving the model. The mesh model was created from Reality Capture. As suggested by cesium team , we are looking for a way to tile the mesh or chop it up into small pieces. FME seems to be capable of doing this, but I'm still trying to figure out how to do that. An ideal result is attached below. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Hi, I want to overlap to my building and roof. I added one photo. 1(building) will go to 2 (roof). I know extruder transform. But also which transform can I added. Because it s not enough. This are .shp format.
