REVIT TO CESIUM - Cylinder conversion error

Hello, I have a REVIT file which contains some cylindrical objects (e.g. pipes) and when I convert the model to cesium, it creates hexagonal shaped pipes instead of cylindrical ones. Is this intentional or can I bypass this behaviour somehow? NOTE: The Revit model is offset according to it's Reference Point. Also, the Data Inspector shows the cylinders correctly where it is an aggregate geometry with with many many IFMEFaces.

FeatureWriter and Esri ArcGIS Server Feature Service with dynamic schema fails when layername contains space

I have logged a support case about my problem, but figured I might as well check to see if anyone else have encoutered this problem:I am writing a workspace to geosynchronize a Feature Service with a database. The Feature Service contains about 30 layers that need to be updated, so I have put my bet in for a dynamic workspace, since the operation is the same for every layer. This saves me a lot of transformers and makes the maintenance of the workspace much simpler.My challenge here is that both the FeatureReader and FeatureWriter requires the name of the layer to be passed in as a parameter, not the layerid, which would not be a problem. Almost all of these layers have names containing, at least, one space, and this is what is causing my trouble.On the reader side, I can enclose the layer name in double quotes, like “My Layer”, and this works without problems.On the writer side, however, things are messed up. I have so far tried three different approaches:Enter the name “as is”, like

FME Flow 2024 gets versioning wrong

Hi.I just did an engine upgrade of my 2024.0.1 Flow instance to the very latest version 2024.2.1I then created a workspace in Form version 2024.2.0, and tried to upload it to Flow to test deployment parameters.But I get a warning stating, that Flow is older than Form, and the workspace is unrunnable on Flow.This is not good, as an engine upgrade is a nice way to keep Flow running with the latest version without the hazzle of major downtime and reinstallation.Why can’t the Flow 2024 UI handle engine upgrades, and why is my workspace blocked on Flow ?

Issue when adding Writer

Before I updated to Form 2024.1.2.0, when I added a writer it would automatically name the Feature/Table and assign the geometry type. Also, if there were multiple readers in the workspace the add writer function would prompt to select individual or all feature/table names associated with the readers. Now the writers have to be individually added, named, and assigned a geometry type. This can be very tedious and time prohibitive in many cases (which goes against all things FME). Is there a default setting that I’m missing?

fme flow automation: how to run a workspace (name decided at runtime) if it exists?

I am sure that there is a solution within fme flow automation, but meanwhile I am pulling my hair for not finding it…The scenario:Through a directory watcher triggered automation, I import the content of a variety of geopackage files into postgis tables with corresponding names. This part runs well.For some of these tables, I have ElasticSearch indices, which have to be rebuilt after table import. For the indexing, I have a repo on the flow server named Elastic-Indexer, and therein are workspaces with names corresponding to some of the tables. (n.b. not all tables have corresponding indexer workspaces)Now I try to build up a dynamic system that gets notified with the schema.tablename after import and runs - if it exists - a workspace with a matching name from the Elastic-Indexer repository. My first idea was to read the workspace names from that repository and call the workspace if the name matches, but a) I was not able to read the workspace names and b) this solution looks clunky whe

Gx:AnimatedUpdate in kml

Can someone please sanity check me.The example in the google developers for animated updates is https://developers.google.com/static/kml/documentation/kmlfiles/animatedupdate_example.kmland it works fine.However the same code embedded in a kml generated by the FME KML writer does not work.As far as I can tell, the issue is with the name space declaration.the example uses <kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2"> whereas the FME kml writer produces<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> Am I going crazy or does changing the declaration break the animation for anyone else?

Unlocking insights from raster imagery with FME

Blogger Tiana Warner just posted a new article to the FME Blog.Title: Unlocking insights from raster imagery with FMESummary: Learn how to process geospatial imagery and unlock actionable insights.Introduction: Geospatial imagery—captured by satellites, planes, drones, or other technology—holds a wealth of useful insights for professionals across industries. However, extracting insights can be challenging due to enormous data volumes and the complexity of gathering information from raw pixels. Plus, imagery comes in various formats, from standard JPEGs to specialized GeoTIFFs and proprietary file types, each containing bands, palettes, and metadata.

issue with component "Trigger". Publisher dirwatch does not exist

I am trying to create an automation using a trigger that watches a directory. If a file in the directory is added/created it launches an FME Workspace. However I keep getting the following error:2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410109 : (Automations) Creating link from trigger...3 2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410108 : (Automations) Creating dirwatch trigger...4 2024-12-14T20:10:08Z | 410112 : (Automations) Unable to assemble automation. There was an issue with component "Trigger". Publisher dirwatch does not exist.The same thing happens when I try add a trigger that watches an FTP? and I get the same error when trying to add a Publication under the Notification.What am I missing? Do I need to add something special for a trigger to work? is it possible that I am missing some part of FME?I am working with a FME FLOW 2024.1that is in a Azure Kubernetes cluster.Any help or hint that could explain the error is highly appreciated.

python caller save problem

Sometimes and non-reproducible changes I have done in source code are not saved.Mostly it works but in estimated 5% my changes are lost.If I change text I always type ctrl-s, mostly two or three times. If the changes are big I type spaces and save again. I reenter the source code and look for my changes.BUT whatever I do, sometimes FME "forgets" my changes, today it forgot it, even when I ran the translation (in the control before my changes were made).Has anybody else such problems? Is there a "correct" way to save the sources or a workaround for it?I actually use the version 2016.0 (in former versions the problem was the same)Hope, anybody can help

INSPIRE GML writer - importing wrong XSD

Hi,I have a workspace transforming data to write it in INSPIRE GML format (theme Hydrography). Earlier this year, some of the INSPIRE application schemas (XSDs) where upgraded to a new version Include changes from 2024.1 schema release · Issue #1027 · INSPIRE-MIF/helpdesk-validator, including the hy-p one that I’m using here (v4.0 to v5.0).Therefore I changed my INSPIRE GML writer to point to the new XSD URI and adapted the xsi:schemaLocation parameter consequently. However, when indicating the v5.0 the output GML is not written correctly: there are remnants of the v4.0 in it.First in the imports, see xmlns:hy-p4 and xmlns:hy4:<gml:FeatureCollection xmlns:omor="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/omor/3.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:sr="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/sr/4.0" xmlns:base="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/base/4.0" xmlns:gts="http://www.isotc211.org/2005/gts" xmlns:hy-n="http://inspire.ec.europa.eu/schemas/hy-n/4.0" xmlns:omop="

Set FilePath for FME_SHAREDRESOURCES_TEMP

Morning all,I’m trying to create a workspace that works both on FME Flow & Form. I’m using the FME_JOB_ID to determine what the workflow is running on.If its FME Form I’m setting the filepath to a shared drive. For Flow I’m trying to set it to the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP folder to produce a data download.If I hard code the parameter in the writer to $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)@Value(_FILEPATH) its fine, but I can’t do this as the file will not then post to a shared drive.If I try and set the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP in the workspace to push that to my parameter and add it to the created filepath FME no longer produces the downloaded zip file.I’m setting the FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP to the url defined on Flow - which in this case is something likehttps://-myserverlocation-/fmeserver/resources/browse?path=FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP&name=TempIs this correct, or should I be using a shorter, relative path? EDIT: Sorry just figured out I don’t need to set this at all! FME Flow just does it

SchemaMapper help needed: data not written to new attribute field

I’m trying to write data from one ArcGIS Online hosted feature layer to another using schema mapper for field mapping. I’m finding that the features from featureclass1 are being appended to featureclass2, but there isn’t any data written into the attribute fields for these appended features. Am I missing a setting in schema mapper?This is the result of my workspace (featureclass2). Features 4-7 were appended from featureclass1 to featureclass2, but the data didn’t come through.This is featureclass1, you can see there is data for those features.I’m using a csv file for my schema mapping. The schema mapper is mapping one → newfour and two → five. I’ve tried this keeping the source attribute and removing it with the same result.Thank you!

ArcSDEQuerier - database client sofware failed to load

I authored some scripts years ago that use the ArcSDEQuerier transformer to query for records in a versioned 10.1 ArcSDE Geodatabase. The machine that FME resides on has FME 2019.3.1, both ArcGIS 10.1 and ArcSDE 10.1, and both Oracle 32-bit (ArcGIS) and 64-bit (ArcSDE) clients installed. The scripts have worked for years without issue. Recently, I’ve had to modify them a bit and on a development FME machine, the ArcSDEQuerier transformer works fine, but promoting them to another same-build FME machine has had some odd results. If I use the exact scripts/workspaces from the dev machine, the ArcSDEQuerier throws the error seen below. Or if I open scripts that were already on this machine, untouched, the ArcSDEQuerier also throws the same error: However sometimes, and I stress sometimes, if I open a brand new workspace and add a single ArcSDEQuerier, I can connect to the same DB using the same credentials without issue: I know the obvious answer is that something has changed with ArcSDE,

Passing published parameter into Schemamapper within a custom transformer

Hi Everyone, I tried to make use of the schemamapper transformer to create a new output excel spreadsheet which takes a customised schema csv file as an input. The problem is that the schema file sits within a random folder (date time stamp temp folder name - e.g. 20190903100000) each time the workbench run. (PS: the randomised folder is created at the beginning of the workflow and being passed through as an attribute value).Due to the randomised temp folder name which i tried to pass into the schemamapper as the dataset, I am not able to pass it through. I then tried to create a custom transformer where i can pass the temp folder name via attribute value > published parameter for the custom transformer. The new problem I have now is that the custom transformer does not appear to be able to pick up the attribute value (which has become a published parameter) in the dataset field within the schemamapper.It always throws an error shows "ERROR |CSV reader: Failed to open file &#39
