Finding lines in a network that overlaps

Hi!I am new to FME. I have a set of network data where the network is made of many segments of lines. The lines are connected end to end or branching out from one common point. I am trying to find possible overlap between 2 segments like this. I have a feeling LineOnLineOverlayer would work but no matter how I am trying it, the _overlap value remains 1 for all the output. I just need to identify the segments that actually overlap. Can anyone please help? Thanks!

converting shape polygon to autocad mpolygon

Hello,i have an issue with the convertion of shape polygon to autocad Mpolygon (with map-data)The mpolygons are ok displayed by autocad map, but when they are opened with other CAD (briscad) programms some of them dissappear. It seems to have something to do with the loop direction of the mpolygon. Autocad is able to detect the incorrect polygons but not able to repair them. (audit the drawing, "incorrect loop direction")When i import the mpolygons directly in autocad, this problem does not accur. So it has something to do with FME.I have been looking for an attribute which could let me change this, but I have not found one. Is there a way in FME to get to change to the loop direction?thanks in advance

Exctract values from a string (attribute value) ?

Hi,I have strings (ex New York : Ballantine Books, c2003, 2006.) what I'm interested to do is to get the year(s) out of that string to populate an other attribute.In short, getting 2003 and 2006 in a different field. As dates are not always the same, regex would be best. Is it possible? If so, could someone explain to me how ? Please.Thanks.

How to detect multiple intersections

That is my workspace:What is wrong with my settings and what should i do to detect every intersection?

Writing nested GML files

I'm needing to write a reasonably complex GML v 3.2 file that will be created from a series of flat tables. I'm not sure how to construct the data in FME so that the writer will create the "nested table" structure required by the GML.An example of the output structure would be as follows:<gml:featureMember><geometryProperty><gml:Point> etc...</geometryProperty><propertyType>Private</propertyType><addressList><address><number>12</number><street>Main</street><zip>39945</zip></address><address><number>12b</number><street>Main</street><zip>39945</zip></address><address><number>13</number><street>Main</street><zip>39945</zip></address></addressList></gml:featureMember>Is there a tutorial on using the writer for complex output like this or can someone advise what the data should

Emailer sending separate mail to BCC ?

Hi all,I've just used the Emailer transformer for the first time. And I've run into a curious issue.I've added a local service mail address as BCC to all emails, but when I review the emails in the service inbox, they all seem to have no TO entry. However, some of the external TO adresses I'm sending to responds with an error, so they've obviously gotten an email.Is that caused by the Emailer sending separate mails to TO and BCC (and CC) ?Is this a bug or WAD ?Cheers Lars I

I'm trying to read a SpatiaLite table with a Primary Key Unique ID (PKUID) field, made in QGIS. All the fields of the SpatiaLite table can be read, except for this PKUID field. Even an AttributeExposer does not do the trick. Is there a reason for this? For the moment, I created a workaround: I read the table, together with the spatial data, in a SpatiaLite reader. Then I read the same table in an SQLite reader, which can detect the PKUID field, but does not contain the spatial data. A FeatureMerger does the rest.

elasticsearch writer and missing geometry field

Hi,Im doing some test with elasticsearch and FME writer. I have a very simple workbench that reads (with directory reader) a folder with geojson files, read them with feature reader and dinamically writes to elasticsearch using the elasticsearch writer. The wb works pretty much ok on looping and sending all the jsons to elastic (on different types inside the same index), however it seems that the geometry field is lost when I write it to ES (although present in the geojson"features" : [ { "type" : "Feature", "geometry" : { "type" : "Point", "coordinates" : [ -0.8275947, 38.05902 ] }, "properties" : { "uwwCode" : "ES10030240001000E", "uwwName" : "BENEJUZAR", "uwwNUTS" : "ES521", "fme_basename" : "EDAR_Q2011", "SHAPE_GEOMETRY"

Spatialite line features written in FME viewed in ArcMap creates an unexpected view

I am creating a Spatialite database with FME 2016.1 64 bit. I have both polygons and lines. Polygons shows up perfectly, but the lines are all over the place. I have added a picture showing the lines that should have depicted a road network in a municipality. Have anyone had the same experience or any idea why the lines drawn like this? I have been trying to adjust how ArcMap reads the data with the "query dialogue" but no success. My ArcGIS version is 10.3.1

How to extract out every nth row and put into a column

Hi, I have a xml that unfortunately isn't very structured for me to extract attributes easily. Every <en> line contains attributes that I want to put into specific columns in a structured table. For example: <en>3121 </en> <en> Colorado City </en> <en> 50.852010 </en> <en> -89.672167</en> <en> 5755 0555 </en> <en> Map 593 N10 Arizona Country Directory </en> <en> Office </en> <en>3020 </en> <en> Toronto </en> <en> 50.578010 </en> <en>-88.887679 </en> <en> 5875 1234 </en> <en> Map 105 K6 Ontario Country Directory </en> <en> Agency </en> and so on... I have 2588 rows of this and there is a pattern. Is there a way for me to extract out every nth row be put together into one column? In this example, every 7th row should be in one column so I would have a field for post code, name, latitude, long

How can I set the raster extent in the RasterDEMGenerator? Similar to Specify Ground Extents in the NumericRasterizer?

I am trying to specify the exact extent of my Raster DEM generated from LiDAR data. The lower left (origin) corner coordinates are 500000,5600000; 5m cell size; 500x500 cells, therefore upper right corner coordinates are 502500, 5602500. I can Specify Ground Extents in the NumericRasterizer, but not in the RasterDEMGenerator. Any suggestions on how to do this?

Geospatial PDF Layer Control

Hello,I am using an Adobe Geospatial PDF writer (pdf2d) to create a PDF with a map where layers can be turned on and off from within the PDF. Alongside the map, I am also putting in borders, logos, and the map licence. I am using the PDFPageFormatter transformer to place all these as I wish.My problem is that every feature type is appearing in the layer control within the PDF. That is to say, even features like logo images, page borders and map licence can be switched on and off by the user from within the PDF.What is the best way to make some feature types not appear in the layer list in the PDF, while still being visible?

FME How to read multiple CSV files from many folders and write to GDP tables by folder

I have 13000+ CSV files, all containing around 13000 rows. These CSV files are arranged in 146 different folders. All CSV files have the same schema with ; as separator. These CSV files contain about 175 million rows of data combined. The folders are named as seen in the picture below (for example ...\\CSV_folders\\5785xxx)CSV files are named like these:I already tried to copy all CSV files to same directory and run them to one GDB with FME. This went well... but resulted too heavy ESRI GDB that takes forever to search through. (175 million rows, around 20GB)Now I would need to make things a bit differently. I would like to work with FME to create one ESRI Geodatabase. It should contain tables named like these folders containing CSV files. A table in the GDB should have all the CSV files loaded in the table, that are inside the original folder. This would split my 175 million rows to 146 tables, making it a bit faster to search trough with Arcmap.So my problem is, how to make FME read

When writing to ArcGIS Portal, all my mixed-case field names show as lowercase in my feature service. Why is this happening?

I have a workspace that contains an ArcGIS Portal writer with mixed-case field names. It runs without a problem when first creating the feature service on ArcGIS Portal. However, when I attempt to use that same workspace to write updates to that feature service, I see warnings similar to the following: ArcGIS Online Feature Service Writer: Attribute 'myFieldName' on feature type 'Feature_Type' does not match any field on the corresponding layer/table. The attribute will be ignoredIf I check the feature service itself, I can see that all the mixed-case field names have actually been set to lowercase (so, myFieldName is actually set to myfieldname).

Max. length of path name (in XML reader) ?

Hi,This is a very simple question. I have the XML reader crash over an XML file in one location and not with a copy of the same file in another location.Is there are limit to how long the path names given to the reader may be ?In ye olden days I remember something about 127 characters, but I think that's increased significantly since then.My original file path name length was 120 characters, 129 if the backslashes are doubled (C string). This errs.My alternative location is only half that, and that works.Both locations are on the same network drive (and share).Cheers Lars I.

How to manage converting unclassified XYZ to Minecraft?

I'm trying to convert XYZ point cloud to DEM so I can generate a Minecraft world. After searching and reading "How to make Minecraft worlds" article I saw the Norway example (las2MinecraftFMEpediais workbench) by @dmitribagh similar to what I'm trying to implement, unless it is using classification attribute values (e.g. 2 for ground, or 5 for vegetation), while my XYZ point cloud doesn't have these attribute values.In the Norway example, the point cloud has another classification attribute values for water (9 or 18), while the one I have has no points for water or spaces under bridge for example. I'm attaching a picture of my dataset in the FME inspector. How could that XYZ be used to make a Minecraft world out of it? Appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks

Combine attribute tables

Hello world of Safe!A few transformers create objects with the following attribute tables 'Table 1' and 'Table 2'. The attribute 'ID' describes where A is B. I want to combine these tables like you see it in the picture under 'Goal'. First I thought I could merge them with the FeatureMerger, but after that the output just shows the four rows with the ids which exists in both tables.Important: The ids in Table 1 exist in Table 2 in every case. It is not a coincidence!Thank you for answers!Best regards,Felix
