How can we draw UML of CityGML File using FME? Is it possible to do so?

Hi @vignesh

 

I suspect that this would be more effort to do with FME that it would be just to manually create them (or use a specialised tool). If you has a whole lot of diagrams which you needed then it might be worth it, however, I can't really see how you could get the connections/relationships to work.

 

If perhaps there was a third party tool that ran on command line or a python library for this kind of thing then you could use the SystemCaller or PythonCaller, respectively, and use FME as a wrapper to parse the CityGML.

Thank you @virtualcitymatt. I shall try to do the same. Have you worked on any third party tool for creation of UML? Appreciate your time
