Hey,

I have multiple xyz-Files that I would like to Clip with a shapefile. And then save it as xyz-Files again.

I used the reader POINTCLOUDXYZ as well as the writer POINTCLOUDXYZ. I tried the transformer Clipper as well as PointOnArea. Somehow it won't work.

Is there a transformer/ or multiple transformer connected that I could use to clip xyz-Files, that you can recommend to try?

Thank you,

The Clipper should work on Point Cloud data. You should check that the POINTCLOUDXYZ reader has been configured correctly. When Adding the POINTCLOUDXYZ reader check the columns and header information is set correctly. You will likely need to specify the x, y and z components.

 

Then next thing to check is that both the xyz and shapefile both have defined coordinate systems in FME and that they match. You can use the preview window or an inspector transformer to confirm.

Hi Matt,

That was the trick. After changing the Parameter Options (especially the components) in Reader and Writer it worked fined. :)

Thank you!
