I have an DWG file which I convert into an FGDB file by using an FGDB writer with a Dynamic Schema Definition:The DWG file contains different types of geometries on single layers, e.g. polygons, lines, and points. In combination with the dynamic feature writing to FGDB, this results in that after the run, I have more layers/feature classes in my FGDB than in the original DWG file. For example, if I had a layer "XYZ" in the DWG file which contained polygons, lines, and points, in the resulting FGDB file, there are the feature classes "XYZ_polygons", "XYZ_lines", and "XYZ_points". So far so good, this is expected and totally fine. My problem is the following: How can I preserve the stylings of the features? For example, in the DWG file, there are some green areas:In the DWG, the green fill color is defined on layer level.During the translation, FME correctly picks up the color and also recognizes it has been defined on layer level:However, when I i

I want to perform an operation where I want to add a new attribute which will have value of next 23rd feature from existing attribute. Is there any quicker way to do this without enabling "Adjacent features Attributes"?

I am trying to come up with a way to use FME Desktop to process files that will be automatically exported from a system and will likely be named with a timestamp (eg filename20230512132945.xlsx). The goal is to create an automated process to handle these files as the appear. I already run FME Desktop from the command line (via windows Task Scheduler), but I am wondering if there is a way to do it and also specify the name of the file I want to have read as a parameter? Something like C:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw inputFile.xlsx I don't think I am going to be able to count on these files having the same name every time, otherwise I could just run the workbench (c:\\fme.exe workbench.fmw) I'd be grateful for any suggestions. I would happily try to do this with FME Server but it is not currently available to me. Thanks, Mike

I am trying to add an extra label for each point of the point cloud based on whether or not they were located inside or outside the gml building model.  When I clipped a model with my point cloud data with "Clipper", it only identified that point cloud was outside and that point cloud data was identified as 1 feature own on its.  How do I label/mark each point in the point cloud whether they clipped with the model or not and then save it as an extra information/variable in a new las file.

Is it possible to use Web Connection authentication in the HTTPCaller transformer to access ArcGIS Online REST APIs without additional steps to obtain a token?

This may be a little simple but it seems not to work for me, I have a workspace that reads a .csv file and runs a process. Ideally i would like to move this csv file once the process is complete and rename it by date. What i have tried so far,After the reader i created a junction and I put one process to run through the whole workspace and another arrow i put to a DateTime stamper, DateTimeConverter and created the attributes filecopy_source_dataset, filecopy_dest_dataset and filecopy_dest_filename, (based on several tutorials i have been reading.) I then use the filecopy writer to move the file. The file gets moved but the name is not changed and i get a warning that --> Ignoring the destination filename .. because the source dataset...was not a file. Destination file names are only used when the source dataset is a file. For some reason the exact name i did set (@Value(Datum)_@Value(filecopy_dest_filename)) is shown in the written summary but not on the folder, anyone with an ide

When converting IFC to OBJ using FME, how does the information in IFC change to OBJ's attributes?

Hello!The FME im using: FME Workbench 2022.2.5 Im a student and using our floating license at school. No matter how big/small the script is, it will just freeze at random.If i place a simple node or hit export, the program just locks up and i have to either wait forever or just exit the program.  My computer is quite powerful so that shouldnt be the issue... Is there anyway for me to share more information that could help solve this issue?    

I have street centerlines (Line Feature Class) with intersection points (Point Feature Class) the end of each line. ​I am using the PointOnLineOverlayer and only the attributes of one of the end points is included in the output. ​Using the picture here as an example, I want the Line output from the PointOnLineOverlayer Transformer to include the attributes something like this:A St will include attributes of Pt 1 and Pt 3; B St will include the attributes of Pt 3 and Pt 2;C St will include the attributes of Pt 3 and Pt 4;Currently, here is my Line output:A St includes attributes of Pt 3;B St includes attributes of Pt 2;C St includes attributes of Pt 3. Any ideas on how to ensure each Line includes the attributes of the points at each end of the line instead of only a point at one end of the line?

Hi everyone!I have a really strange problem connecting Google Drive to FME.Until this morning, I could very easily connect my Google Drive to FME Desktop and then straight to the server.As of this morning, I receive a message like this when I want to log in to Google:Can anyone help me? ####Edit:We tried to do it on another computer,And it is the same problem.

I have CSV file in the character format with a value as shown here. I would like to change it into Date format so I will be able to date calculation later. I tried to use Dateformater. it did not work. is there any other transformer that I can leverage to accomplish this?

Hi all.I'm just being told, that we're importing 3D data (points, lines, polygons) with "missing" Z coordinates = 0.I need to delete each and every one of these values, or exchange them with the value -99.Is there a transformer that can do that easily ?I would rather not have to to explode all geometries to points, repair the Z, and reassemble all geometries.Any ideas ?Cheers

FME(R) 2022.2.5.0 (20230329 - Build 22795 - WIN64 Hello Just detected this possible bug when importing Attribute Names / Values using Attribute Manager. The Names are pre-sorted and the "Sorted" option unticked as shown below. Once the dataset has been imported (Select * for Input/Output/Values) the values are set as shown below. Was I not meant to see the actual values or have I misunderstood this part? Looks like the Attribute Names have been set as values. If that's intended then what could be a potential use case?  Original Attribute Names order / Table structure as defined in the Postgis Db ThanksSameer

I downloaded gml file of munich and want to use only few buildings, specifically TUM, from it. However the gml covers large area.  How do I cut out the buildings that I want and remove the other buildings from the gml and then save it?  I tried using "Clipper" transformers but I dont have any other information or files to use other than personally knowing that I only want the specific few buildings.  

Hello, I'm reprojecting tens of millions of complex polygons from LL-WGS84 to Esri's USA_Contiguous_Albers_Equal_Area_Conic_USGS coordinate system. There are many other transformers in the workspace as well. Using the EsriReprojector, the reprojection works as expected but takes a very long time. Using CsmapReprojector, the polygons are 3ft (~1 meter) off from where I'd expect, but it's about 30 times faster (many hours!). I've noticed this difference between the two transformers before with any reprojection that has a datum transformation. Does anyone have any ideas that would allow the performance of CsmapReprojector with the results of the EsriReprojector? Notes:I saw another post where a user believes FME is not correctly performing a datum transformation between WGS84 and NAD83. - Could this be a mistake in CsmapReprojector?I have tried changing the Reprojection Engine from FME to Esri in the workspace parameters.The spatial difference seems to be present in an

Hello,In a model that I am creating, i would to expose attribute in the feature reader automatically . The idea is to use the same model for different dataset. I have seen that is not possible to do it automatically but I would ask you if it's possible to do that using the user parameters. if yes, please, can You explain me how to do?Or if there are some other ways.The input file is not stored locally and it's a zip file. Thanks to all. Max 

Most of our automations are started by a FME-Server Schedule-Trigger. I would like to make a list with all automations and their start-times. I can get a list of all automations with the REST API, but how could I get all the start-times? Thanks, Vera

 

Hello everyone, I'm trying to create a automatization of the Viewshed geoprocessing (a raster and a shape file in input and a raster in output) from Arcgis in FME (because its ModelBuilder doesn't work as well). But I didn't find any transformer or python script by Python Caller about it. Have any ideas or tips for me about how can I do exactly the viewshed geoprocessing but in FME ? thanks !

Dear Sir / Madam, I have an indoor data set. As shown in the figure below.  Red line represents network path.Blue circle is the POI (Point). Black dot is just the vertex. As I have an indoor data for the entire building. I would like to find network that is unnecessary (not linked with any POI), as shown as Yellow Circle. I am just wondering what transformers I can use to find these path?I cannot just simply break the lines as some vertex are necessary for turning. I would really need some hand. Thank you very much!

Basically, I want to match meter IDs from two different datasets: shapefile and excel file. Meter IDs in both datasets might have typos such as dashes, dots, letters, slashes, which I need to remove first. Then I want to match MTR_NO from Excel against Mother_1 , Child_3, & Child_4. My idea is to export an excel table that will include only matching meter IDs.
