Hi everyone, I am experimenting with using the new BIM360 Docs transformer on Desktop to search trough a specific folder and download some files. The first step I want to perform is to use the list command in the transformer to get a list of available files so I can find the id of the files I actually want. Unfortunately I cannot get the list command to actually work. I can browse through my Hub, Project and Project Folders so I think the connection is working correctly. I have also tried the download command which is working correctly and letting me download a prespecified file. I am using FME Desktop 2021.1.0.0 and the workbench is a simple creator with Null geometry which is connected to the BIM360 Docs transformer. Action is set to List, I can select both the Hub, Project and Folder and the include subfolders is set to No. I have currently set the 'Attributes to add' to empty but this doesn't fix the error. The Error in the logfile:2021-09-17 12:06:22|   0.5|  0.0|FATAL |The below 

Hi! I need to thin out a uniform(?) point cloud where the points are spaced out evenly, the result should also be spaced out evenly. I tried the PointCloudThinner but it does not seem to do what I want. See attached pictures. The circled objects are the ones that need to be removed. I Hope I explained the problem clearly enough😊

Hi! I am working on trying to automate a fanout for individual maps based on one point layer in ArcGIS Online. The maps should show one point per PDF with parcels and streets labeled in the background. So far I have been able to have a one page write out per point feature but the scale in the PDFs is extremely zoomed out to the point where all the point features would be shown. Additionally, the parcels and streets don't show on every page unless the _order field is set to the same number as the point feature. I am new to writing out PDFs and PDF transformers. I have tried using the PDFStyler, PDFPageFormatter, both Bounding Box transformers, and the sorter so far. I have tried to use the MapFormatter and was hoping if someone could tell me if that would be my best shot at getting the scales fixed. My two questions are: How do I set the scale for each individual PDF to be zoomed in to each point feature? How do I Include the streets and parcels in the background with labels? Than

Hi, today I get a little bit of confused by the new Sorter Mode "Natural":Please, can somebody explain me, why the Mode Natural work like this?Thanks!

Hello everyone!My problem:I have a list of points, each point (of course) has coordinates and a timestamp. I would now like to create individual lines from the points and each line should store the two timestamps of the two points it was created from.I've already tried the LineBuilder, but there I get a polyline.  Source:Point a, b, c, d Result LineBuilder:Line 1: from a to b to c to d Result I want:Line 1: from a to b, Attributes: Timestamp_A, Timestamp_BLine 2: from b to c, Attributes: Timestamp_B, Timestamp_CLine 3: from c to d, Attributes: Timestamp_C, Timestamp_D Any ideas?

I have a dwg-file with multiple linetypes (dashed, dash-dot, solid).The Option in PDFStyler allows me to define only one "array" or use a parameter.Is it possible to write multiple "Line Dash Arrays", or ca i put only one in a pdf?Who can help me?

I have some simple polygons in a shapefile where, for texturing purposes, it is important where the first edge is compared to other features. I created a workspace that explodes the polygons and reorders the edges based on the other features. At this point everything looks good.However, when I use AreaBuilder to rebuild the polygons, on some (most are ok), the edge ordering is not maintained. How can I keep the edge order I want?

I need to download data from this site website (https://power.larc.nasa.gov/data-access-viewer/) with FME, could someone help me or have you already managed to do it? Thank´s 

A PDF file contains points located using TEXT elements that indicate the Z coordinate for each point.My question is this: How can I obtain a file (WRITER) in DWG format that contains a cloud of points in coordinates X, Y, Z, from the X and Y coordinates of the insertion point of the text and the Z coordinate obtained from reading the label of that text?Another feasible option would be to obtain a CSV file of numbered points (writer)A second question, which is a continuation of the first:A flat map is available in 2D DWG format, which contains contour lines. Contour lines are labeled dimensions (Z-coordinate) every few intervals.How could we obtain a mathematical model (mesh) from the given contour lines inferred and interpreted as lines of rupture with its dimension (Z coordinate) obtained from the value of the text belonging to the contour of a 2D flat file?The attached file in DWG format, has been obtained by filtering a PDF file obtaining as a result the texts. Now what interests us

Hi, really odd one, I had to update an existing workbench that has been in place for at least 6 months. When it exports data from a sql server table to excel the featurewriter puts in 0's where there should be nulls. Another featurewriter using the same source but writing to csv behaves itself. Any ideas what could be going on? Some screenshots of the data going in and the design are below. I have not upgraded the writer. This is the same if run from desktop or cloud.  

import osimport requestsimport jsonimport cv2 directory = r'C:\\boatlaunch'for filename in os.listdir(directory): if filename.endswith(".jpg") or filename.endswith(".jpge") or filename.endswith(".JPG"):  print(os.path.join(directory, filename))  filenamepath=os.path.join(directory, filename)  url = "https://<servername>/fmerest/v3/resources/connections/FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_DATA/filesys/EnvironmentAffair?createDirectories=false&overwrite=false"  head={   'Authorization': 'fmetoken token=<mytoken>',   'Content-Disposition': 'attachment; filename="test.jpg"',   'Content-Type': 'application/octect-stream',   'Accept': 'application/json'   }  print(head)  filedata = open(filenamepath,'rb')  print(filedata)     res = requests.post(url,data=filedata,headers=head)  print(res.status_code)  print(res.text)  print(res.request.headers)

I have a table that i managed to extract 2 coordinates, but the coordinates don't show up for all rows how can i do this? Another question is that I'm going to process several files with different values ​​for these two fields, how can I repeat the values ​​for each different file too?   Thanks 

Most of our pipelines use revit/dwg/dgn/csv files and for our ETL procedure we would like to store all these inputs using the same filetype in staging. Is there any type of data that would support this? other alternatives?

Hello, I'm trying to extract a number out of my comments column. I'm not sure how to write the expression? or if I'm using the right transformer? I'm still new with FME. The number I am trying to extract is 8 digits and is put in comment field with this format "/ 12345678 /" an example of the format is below. VB BLVD / 59208085 / L06-514 / ATT 8547 Is there a way to extract this number?  Thank you!

How in FME would you check that two floats are "close", given testing floats for equality can be a challenge? e.g. "-23.123" as listed in an XLS compared to "-23.12300005" stored in a point feature class? In Python I use the math.isClose() or assertAlmostEqual() Thanks

I convert input features to XML using XMLTemplater. Everything is fine as long it is done through the same sub-template. When I try to process some attributes (coordinates reading) by calling another sub-template it fails. This sub-template works properly **OBJECT Sub-Template**{<object  id="{fme:get-attribute("id")}"  visible="{fme:get-attribute("visible")}"  lon="{geom:get-y-coord()}"   lat="{geom:get-x-coord()}" ></object>} This one, calling another sub-template, doesn't work.**OBJECT Sub-Template**{<object  id="{fme:get-attribute("id")}"  visible="{fme:get-attribute("visible")}"  {fme:process-template("XY")} > Here is the syntax error: unexpected character "{" near line 4, column 5 .</object>} **XY Sub-Template**{ lon="{geom:get-y-coord()}"   lat="{geom:get-x-coord()}" } I did try a lot of things but I still don'

Hi FME colleagues,Neighbor finder transformer finds the nearest neighbor and allotting the same candidate to multiple bases. In my requirement, I need to pair the points from two set of data, but one base one candidate, that means one candidate should not be paired with more than one base.for ex : I have two sets of data, one is Blue and the other is REd. Now, first, the blue base comes and finding its closest candidate (good). Now the second base comes in and finds the same candidate which is already paired with the first blue base. this should not happen in my case, if it's already paired(i mean the closest candidate to some other base) then remove it from the candidate set. the candidate set should go smaller and smaller through the fme process. now what our neighbor finder does is matching with all bases to first(1) candidates. many to one. can we achieve this using any transformer? or any workaround within FME using python caller?

I have 1 dataset with many overlapping features. These overlaps tend to have a different feature name. I have been given a list that tells me which name takes priority over the other. I want to find the overlaps and then just carry through the areas that take priority. For instance ancient woodland trumps everything. Building footprints trump everything else. Wetlands and pumping stations trump grassed areas.  I have started with an AreaOnAreaOverlayer, generating a list (OverlapAttributes), AreaCalculator, Counter and Tester, where the _overlaps > 1. I've then added a ListExploder.  Where the '_area', '_count' and '_overlaps' are the same, I want to only take the feature with the highest priority name. Am I going about this the right way?I'm a lost as to where to go from here! Attached is some test data and my workbench so far. Thank you!

Hi. I'm trying to get a single output from these two sources:County Assessor Parcel BoundariesSurveyed Parcel Boundaries The goal is that, if the parcel is in the Surveyed Parcel Boundaries layer, we use its shape. If not, we keep the County Assessor layer shape. Only some of our records are in both sources. Some are in one and not the other. Which transformer would be best for this scenario, and how would I go about setting it up? Thanks!

Hello, I am trying to create a workspace for doing a batch identification of information contained in tables within some pdf files, the thing is that the pdf also contains some other information as text, so I am a little bit confused on how to achieve that, and also if it will work with different tables, because the dataset I have was made by multiple authors so they are different tables on each pdf. I am wondering if it would be better to use a external application or a PythonCaller to achieve that, but before trying that out I would like to confirm first. I am attaching a sample pdf of my dataset so you can see the table that is in it. Thank you!
