Hi friends give me some advice how do I read the FBX files that are located in different places on the disk?PS. I have a file with the exact address to each file I need.

This morning the security's certificate for FME Server Javascript Api v3 seems to be invalid :https://api.fmeserver.com/js/v3/FMEServer.js That cause a lots of problems over here, all our FME Server web apps our down! We had to switch urgently some apps in http. It's working but the interface is a little bit different. Maybe in the future we'll consider hosting our self the Javascript file.

I am trying to find a way to simplify/generalize the dataset below. There are a number of neighbouring plots similar to the one marked in blue. I would like to merge (dissolve) as many as possible of these whilst retaining the overall shape and those plots with more distinctive shapes.The original features are lines, but in the stage shown below I have created polygons and added a centre point. The plots I want to merge are rectangle shaped and of similar size. They are of course not true rectangles, that would be to easy, most have around 7-12 vertices.I tried the FuzzyParallelLineFinder but inner and outer lines where all computed. I want to keep the outer. I have the feeling that dissolving polygons will give me the result I want without having to patch everything up towards the end. But I could of course be wrong about that.If there is a easier way to do this than the one I suggest below, please let me know!My thinking is that in my "rectangles" the distance from the cent

Question time!I have straight lines in 3D, oriented in many different ways, and I want to create cylinders (pipe). I do not want to use the 3DBufferer and I do not want to extrude a buffered slice. Is there another simple way of doing this?Kind regards,Peter

Hello, I have a simple workspace that is reading in a feature class from a source geodatabase and writing it out to my target geodatabase. I am using (and need to use) a drop and create table handling method to write the feature class. The source feature class I am reading from is contained in a feature dataset. I don't want this feature dataset to be written out to the target geodatabase; I am only interested in writing the feature class it contains. However, the writer recreates the feature dataset from the source gdb, even though I left the Feature Dataset Table Creation Parameter in the writer null. How do I configure my writer so that only the feature class from the source geodatabase is being dropped and created, while ignoring and not recreating the feature dataset? Thank you.

I have just started using FME. I am working on a Feature class that have multiple fields that has "Year" values.  I am trying to bring my multiple year field values into one field and create a new table. I have been banging my head on this problem for few days now but no luck there, so I will really appreciate some workflow to work on with Thanks in advance H

Hi, i have a question which i think should be solvable with fme but i don't know the right transformer(s) to get the solution.  I have this table with points and id's. I would like to know the best way to calculate the highest score (1+2+3) but without using one id twice.Do you have any id how to solve this? *** Some extra info: Calculation 1 is not valid, here the sheet pics just the highest values (but picks A twice (not allowed)  Calculation 2 Here it picks the value of A (10) because it is the highest value in the table, but overall it is not the highest accumulation of points. Calculation 3 is what i am looking for, Here it picks the value's which calculates the heighest overall points for the table Jan

So I have this IMDF writer. Everything works fine except for this one property building_ids. The writer in safe says it is just a string. However, I have trouble making it generate output. In reality, it needs to look like this in the generated geojson: "building_ids" : ["8f0f9e75-860d-4050-a0f0-3483cd895a31"]

How would I isolate the top face of some buildings I've just extruded? - so that I can apply different appearances to the top and the walls.

I have a workbench that is chocked full of transformers trying to fix, set, extract, validate and write the coordinate system. I can see the CS in the feature details and have a tester to get from an attribute that has just been updated with the CS. however trying to route any features to a sampler and then an xlsx list always ends up empty. however when i get the output and go to look at the cs output in the _coordsys there are features that are empty or contain spaces. even on a support call with safe they could not see any problem with the method i am using to get this. yet still the data is empty.reading from dwg files and using the realdwg reader. I have the custom Fix_Coord_System transformer built by Safe.I then proceed to set the coordinate system, extract it back out to an attribute, and test that attribute (BTW I have also tried to test the system @coordsys value to no avail) .since i am just testing an attribute i am trying to test for at least 1 erroneous value "FME&qu

I have a workspace with an User Parameter of type Choice (List). When I put this with AttributeManager into an attribute I can see that the choices I made (checkboxes I ticked) are listed. However, when I use that same Custom Parameter inside an embedded Custom Transformer it doesn't reflect anymore my choices.Does anybody know if I'm doing something wrong or if I stumbled upon a bug?I'm using FME 2019.2.3.1 

For some background on what I'm doing, I am trying to create a workspace to export some data from an Oracle database and write to a shapefile. As I don't know the attributes/geometry types ahead of time I'm making use of the SchemaSetter and dynamic options in a FeatureWriter.  This is mostly working fine, but I'm having issues when it comes to MultiPoint features. I've created and attached a very simple workspace that demonstrates the problem I'm having.  I'm using six creators to create two features of each geometry type, then aggregating these together to create a MultiPolygon, MultiLine and MultiPoint. I'm then running these three features through a SchemaSetter and writing to a shapefile, with a Geometry type of 'First Feature Defines Geometry Type'. The MultiPolygon and MultiLine features get written to the file and look as I'd expect in a GIS program.  The MultiPoint doesn't however, as the log states that:2020-10-02 15:09:00|   1.1|  0.0|WARN  |Shapefile Writer: Feature type 'C

Hello, I have a line that I would like to cut by points (no issue with that so far with the pointonlineoverlayer).Then, I would like to order the new lines so that the end vertex of the 1st line is the start vertex of the 2ne line, the end vertex of the 2nd line is the start vertex of the third line etc.On the picture, on the left is the regular result, no order. On the right is the result I would like. Does anybody have hints about that ? I found similard subjects but I did not find one which really applies to my issue. Many thanks in advance,Ann

I transformed SHP to DGN, but all features are in one color. I need to apply features in color set by level. Even with seed file set or DGN file with right colored features as a color source, features from SHP data are in the right levels, but have no individual color by level. Seems like transformer is putting SHP feature in right DGN level (by attribute) but with default color, not color by level.

Hello FME Community, First time posting here! Hope to explain my problem better with screenshots of my current situation and what I hope to achieve. I have 3 empty columns I like to them to be filled with values from Status_Percentage.sum based on the feature's status (e.g. Built, Intended, Interim).  The result should look like this:The image shows values from Status_Percentage.sum filled to each empty columns based on the feature's status.  I've looked into AttributeManager and conditional values but not getting what I want. I've been advised to look at VariableSetter and VariableRetriever but am not familiar with the transformers.  Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Is there any possibility on using writer feature that has been generated into reader feature so I can avoid from running the workbench twice?

I have a workspace published on FMECloud which is triggered by http requests from an api. The request contains a geojson geometry defining an area of interest. With larger geometries I receive an error from FME saying the request payload is too large. Can someone tell me the size limit on request payloads and is it possible to configure it to a larger value?

So I have some areas that have gaps. I used an area amalgamator to combine them. It works really well. However, it makes the polygon/area have tons of points. Is there a way to reduce the number of points on the polygon? In the screenshots, before Amalgamation, the number of polygon points is probably 10-20. After, there are probably a hundred points that make up the polygon. All are very close together and could be removed and still keep the shape

Hi, I am new to FME Server and I am having a problem. When I run a single workflow it is looking for a file directory that exisits and works, however when I run the same workflow within an automation it is looking for a different file location and so is completing but not reading the file and populating with the writer. Examples of the different location types are:single run on server: C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FME Server\\resources\\data\\run through automation:Server\\resources\\data\\ it seems to be looking for the file address in two parts where the space in FME Server is? thanks,Andrew 

In the SQL Creator transformer, what is meant by 'attributes to expose'. When do I need to use it? For example if I have a query which extracts fields, wouldn't the attributes be exposed from the query itself.

I have a column (route_num) with a list of route numbers. How can I extract each route number as it's own feature and all other attributes as copies. See belowFrom: To: 

Is the UUIDGenerator using the algoritm to generate IETF UUID version 4 (random) ? If so, can you add to documentation with reference to the IETF standard ? If it is version 4 (random), can you explain which library is used as seed for the random number?

Maybe this is known behavior, but I noticed that when using the following dataset name in an Excel Feature writer in FME Server, that the expression was not evaluated correctly when using the Data Download or Data Streaming services. "testfilename_@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y%m%d).xlsx" Interestingly, it works fine in Desktop, and when using the Job Submitter service in Server. Has anyone else encountered this type of issue?
