When I open a workbench in 2022 that is authored in an earlier version, the user parameters that contain file paths disappear. Below is the screen shots of a workbench in 2021:These are the screen shots of the same source info in 2022I am using FME 2022.0.1.1 (Build 22350 WIN 64)If I unlink the user parameters in 2021 and then open in 2022 the file paths come through fine. Thanks CheersJacky 

Hi,I'm trying to convert an IFC file (exported with Revit) into a .gml one. I tried to recreate the workspace suggested here: https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/1025/bim-to-gis-intermediate-ifc-lod-300-to-lod-4-cityg.html , but I could not be able to visualize the output file (.gml) in QGIS software. Using the available data at the above link, I can see them. Why? I'm using FME Workbench 2019.

I have a workspace that converts a DWG file to a new DWG utilizing a template file. However, I am unclear on how the text styles saved in the template file interact with multi text features written to the output DWG. I understand that the template file will overwrite any styling you set in the workspace for lines, polygons, and blocks. Does this also apply to text? Here are the details, In my workspace I set the text style with the property autocad_shape_name to a corresponding style in the autocad template file. Also, the multi text features are put on a layer that exists in the template file. I have been trying to modify two attributes in the text features that are found in autocad (Annotative, and Defined Width), see the image below showing these properties highlighted in AutoCAD. However, I can't seem to set these attributes at all. Theoretically, if fme utilizes text styles from a template file, the "Annotative" property should be set correctly in the ouput (it's

I would like to iterate through a table based on a list of values. This is the process I would like to automate:Filter the table on a value then add an attribute and BulkAttributeRenamer. I have 20 values so I'd like to be able loop through the table for each value rather than have a set of transformers for every value.

See picture above for more context. I have made sure they are under the same coordinates when impporting them into the process as well as using the coordinate system setter but still no luck in making them overlap in the inspector afterwards.Im not sure if I am missing something obvious since I am new to FME or whether its an issue with the shp files. 

Hi, I have a (complete) road network containing all the "real" roads segments of the road network. I then have several "copies" of the road network but with different segments, these segments define attribute properties for the road segments. I want to split the "real" segments by multiple attribute segments.e.g.: Road 1 --------------------------------------------  5m                      10m  ---------|-----------------------------------  70km/h                 50km/h        70km/h --------------------|-------------|----------Desired output:5m           10m          10m          10m --------|-----------|-------------|---------- 70km        70km        50km/h       70km/h  Does anyone have a good solution for performing this in FME? 

I'm using a coordinate system that is not in FME’s Coordinate System Gallery. I added a custom coordinate system by creating a new .fme file and using the online tool. When I use it in my FME model it give me the message: "Invalid longitude value given for projection origin".My .fme file has this information:COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF PTRA08-UTM/ITRF93 \\  DESC_NM "PTRA08 / UTM zone 26N EPSG:5015" \\  GROUP EUROPE \\ EL_NAME GRS1980 \\  ORG_LAT 0 \\  PARM1 -27.0 \\  PROJ UTM \\  QUAD 1 \\  SCL_RED 0.9996000000 \\  SOURCE "https://www.dgterritorio.gov.pt/geodesia/sistemas-referencia/regioes-autonomas/PTRA08-UTM-ITRF93" \\  UNIT METER \\  X_OFF 500000 \\  Y_OFF 0 I think the error is in PARM1, but I think it's ok... -27

When I am running a job on FME Server I get an error message saying: "There was an error submitting the job. Authentication Failed: Account is disabled"My account isn't disabled as I'm signed in as that user. I've also tested other users and I get the same error message. The workspace runs fine as a schedule, just not when I use the Run Workspace page, or the FME Server Job Submitter.

Hallo FME community,I have a line and there are vertices on it. I want to have vertex as point. (exactly a tool like "Feature Vertices To Points" in ArcGIS) I used Intersector and topologybuilder for this and they don't exactly give me the vertex. Attached you find the pictures.     

In print it is possible to visualize the line created, totally without logic, and in red what would be the appropriate route.

I have XML file that contains GEOMETRYCOLLECTION for each object and it might contain lines, points, areas. I have this GEOMETRYCOLLECTION already in attribute but how to create multiple features out of those text geometries?

Hello everyone,I'm looking for an easy way to extract domain value from a gdb for validation.I know that you can use ArcGIS Pro to export a XML schema from a GDB, but I want to skip that step. I tried to use Schema Reader, but it doesn't give me the full domain values in the attributs.Anyone have an idea ? Thanks

The obvious transformers (Rasterselector, RasterBandRemover, RasterBandKeeper) do not give the desired output. No errors are generated but all bands of the CSAR raster file are still present after processing. The bands seem to be hidden but I can not find a way to make them available for processing.

I have 2 different (postgis) writers (A and B), one of which is sometimes temporary not accessible. FME checks at the start if all writers (A and B) are accessible, and if not, fails to execute the workbench.So I wonder if it is possible (e.g. by the use of a parameter specifying which (only) writer to use) to bypass the "accessibility-check" of e.g. writer A so that only writer B is being used and the workbench is still being executed? I use this in a batch-script where I "ping" to A and B, and therefore know at the start whether A and/or B are accessible.

Hi I am trying to merge about 15 sets containing information about green infrastructure in to one singular dissolved, multipart polygon. In ArcGIS I would use the Merge geoprocessing tool to all the the layers into one, select all the features and merge them. Finally I would do a dissolve. In FME I have fed all the input layers into a Dissolve transformer (dropping attibutes), fed the area output port to an aggregator. I am unsure what to do with remnants - I have fed Unused Areas from the remnants port to the Aggregator but not interior lines (I presume these are the dividing lines that have been removed in the dissolve?) - is this correct? Many thanks

I've been trying to work out how the light source definition is actually used within the SurfaceFootprointReplacer (with shadow mode set to perpendicular) transformer without luck. My end goal would be to extract an estimated surface of a 3D shape for a hydraulic radius calculation. If I know the shape's rotation from the horizontal axis, how does this get defined by the vector parameters?Defining a point along the face didn't appear to be the right answer, nor was offsetting a point... A simplified workflow showing a cube rotated 45° is attached to illustrate the issue.

I just upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 3.0 and upgraded Data Interoperability (FME(R) 2022.0.0.2 (20220518 - Build 22343 - WIN64) . I have several tools built in the previous version that are now failing. The only error message I get is literally: "Error running translation". That's it. Not very helpful. Has anyone else experienced this with the Pro upgrade to 3.0?

I have tried using the excel reader to get my file in, then httpcaller with the URL as my column of google drive shared hyperlinks. Renaming the output to a column which identifies the name that I want. I'm obviously not getting the settings right in the httpcaller or missing something entirely. New to using this and really no idea what I should be doing. For now I have only focussed on trying to download the Report but ultimately there is also a video avi to be downloaded. My input excel file looks like the following: Newname for the report and then the report google drive hyperlink.

I am attempting to offset all lines that intersect each other by increments of 5. Some lines have duplicate/stacked lines on top of them, as well as standard intersections with other lines. My intent is to assign all lines that intersect a differing offset (which is where the increment of 5 comes into play). I have tried creating a list on the Spatial Relator, but I am not getting my desired results. I don't have any trouble with creating the offsets through the Offsetter or 3D Forcer transformers, but I am stumped on trying to assign all intersecting lines a different offset (so they won't intersect in Z space).  I would appreciate any help or ideas that can be passed along, thank you!

How to highlight in the workbench canvas in FME desktop the route of a chosen entity? Through which transformers this entity has passed.

Hallo FME community,I have a network consisting of interconnected lines. on the other side I have some points lying on the line. I need to cut out my network based on these points and the line between two points must be aggregated with each other. Also, PointOnAreaOverlayer couldn't help me.I would be grateful if someone can help me how to do this process.  

What limits are there on backwards/forwards compatibility when using FME Objects .NET? I ask because I have a custom .NET application that was built using FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll (build 18567) that fails when used with FME Desktop 2022 (build 22337). This is the exception message: System.IO.FileLoadException: A procedure imported by 'FMEObjectsDotNet4.dll' could not be loaded. There were no issues on install (FME Data Inspector 2022 works as expected), and the Path environment variable appears to be set correctly. The custom .NET application worked properly with FME Desktop 2019.1.1 (build 19617).
