IFC Project Base Point

I am using Civil3D to model a wastewater pipe system using the CRS EPSG:3380. Then, I converted it to IFC using the IFCInfraexport command. During this export process, I noticed that an IFC Project Base Point was created.I then imported it into FME, using the Reader (IFC) and Writer (Shapefile), also with CRS EPSG:3380. After opening the resulting file in QGIS (also using CRS EPSG:3380), the objects are not in their correct positions.I suspect this may be related to the IFC Project Base Point. Can anyone help me understand this situation and how to correct it? Is there a transformer that can modify the IFC Project Base Point?

Add my own attributes to Webhook JSON-response?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to add my own key:value pairs/object to the Webhook JSON-response. The default webhook JSON response is:{"serviceResponse": { "jobID": 294, "statusInfo": { "mode": "sync", "status": "success" }}}Woud like to add something like:{"serviceResponse": { "jobID": 294, "statusInfo": { "mode": "sync", "status": "success" } "productData" : { "productVariant" : "type1" // = $(productVariant) }}} Not sure if it is possible at all. All suggestions are welcome.Thanks!

Goal: Identify areas where there is a height difference of more than 1 meter between the road and the surface. I encountered an issue at the moment of the generation boundaries. I used “Counter Generator”, but it gave me a 2D representation.

Hello, I would greatly appreciate your assistance or suggestions regarding an algorithm that is on my mind. Create the contour around the road or, as an alternative option, use the model alignment → → Add the lines perpendicular to the road at every 1 meter →→ Validate intersections with the surface model provided in Input 2 →→ Examine the length of each line segment → → If the length exceeds 1 meter, highlight the line in green for a positive difference and in red for a negative difference (additional variables can be considered for future discussions).Output: DWG file containing attributes representing the lengths of these segments.

Why is it now so slow to read an AGOL service with attachments set to 'Yes'

Prior to Desktop Version 2022. I could read an AGOL service with attachments relatively fast. Now with 2022, it doesn't seem to work at all. I can view the source from the workbench ok, I can read the features in if I disable read attachments. But it doesn't seem to work with read attachments set to Yes any more. The log gets stuck at 'Updating Access Token for..." Updating the token doesn't help either. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

Help with set up of processing many datasets with same inputs to outputs into relevant folders

I will be receiving a number of datasets that I need to run through the same process. I would like to figure out how I can set up the workbench to be able to put through several datasets at once time. There will be the same 4 inputs that need to be run through the FME workflow I have set up to output 3 files.I'm looking at working with something like this:If anyone has an example I could maybe take a look at to help set this up or have any tips/advice for doing this, it would be much appreciated! Many thanks in advance!

Reading shapefile attributes with Python Creator

Hello, I am trying to use Python Creator to read a shapefile from user parameter input file and expose all the attributes to be able to use the data later in the workflow. Is it possible to do it? The reason of not using shapefile Reader is that the attributes of multiple input shapefiles can differ. The goal of the FME is to import the shapefiles into a database (the final DB table attributes must be equal to the attributes of input shapefile). Thank you.

Cant find IfcRelConnectsPorts feature in FME reader

Seeking help,I have an IFC file containing information about sewage pipes. In theory, it should contain two types of object classes (with geometry), namely IfcDistributionChamberElement (Manhole) and IfcPipeSegment (pipe). These classes use their subclasses as connectors, namely IfcDistributionPort (at each object node). Finally, these IfcDistributionPorts should be connected to each other using a relationship class called IfcRelConnectsPorts. My problem is that when I import the IFC file as a reader, the class IfcRelConnectsPorts cannot be found, which prevents me from establishing connections between manholes and pipes. Here is a screenshot. in IFC file (open by notepad) Here is a screenshot. fme dont hv any feature or attribute name IfcRelConnectsPort.

Can multiple workbench write to a file geodatabase at the same time?

I would like to know if it is possible to run several fme workbench that will write in parallel to a file geodatabase at the same time with each workbench writing to different feature classes? I tried this but it is not working and I don't know why. @Takashi Iijima and others, any thoughts on this?

Why is reading ArcGIS Online attachment failing in 2023 when it works great in 2019?

We are upgrading from 2019.2.1.0 to 2023.1 I have many AGOL feature services with attachments that we read and then write to a local database for archiving.For example, I have a feature service that has about 50,000 point features. Only 4 of them have attachments (500K jpegs). I have it set to read in batches of 1,000.In 2019, if I read this feature service with Attachments = Yes, it takes about 1 minute to read everything. If I open the same workspace in 2023 and run it without updating the reader, it times out every time. Sometimes it doesn't even log that it reads the first 1000 before timing out in about 7-10 minutes. Other times it has read for over an hour but still times out. If I disable attachment reading, it reads quickly in 2023. If I upgrade the reader to 2023, the reading still times out when attachment reading is enabled. The same is true for FME server. On our old 2019 server this workspace runs in about 2 minutes, but it times out every time on 2023. Help, pleas

Need compatible version of MS Access Runtime to run on FME Desktop/Form and FME Server/Flow

I have an FME 2020 workspace with an MS Access reader in it. MS Access 2013 Runtime is installed on my laptop. The workspace runs correctly. I have two FME Server/Form environments (2020 and 2023) with MS Access 2019 Runtime installed on them. The workspace will not run on either of them. 2020 FME Server wants the MS Access 2013 Runtime installed ("ADO Provider not installed or not compatible with FME architecture. Try installing Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime (x64)"). 2023 FME Flow wants the MS Access 2016 Runtime installed ("ADO Provider not installed or not compatible with FME architecture. Try installing Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime (x64)"). Is that because those versions of FME Server/Flow only work with those versions of MS Access Runtime? Or, is the MS Access Runtime info embedded in the FME workspace and I should install MS Access Runtime 2019 on the my laptop to work with either version of FME Server/Form? Bottom line is I would like to run the workspace o

Workspace/WorkspaceDefinition/DatasetDefinitions/DataElement/Children/DataElement/Name[.="PROMPT_wControlValve"] the online tool requires esri: to work. I attach a snippet of the xml (an esri gdb workspace export).Ideally I would like to return the parent DataElement of <Name>PROMPT_wControlValve</Name> but I would be happy to make any progress.

How to set geodb_feature_class_alias with dynamic GDB writer

Hey hey ... I'm successfully writing feature classes from ArcGIS Map Server layers to GDB. My writer names and schema are defined dynamically because I'm iterating over many service layers (with a feature reader, driven by CSV rows). I was able to name my feature classes based on a field (readable layer_name) other than the fme_feature_type, but rightly the writer strips s p a c e s and ( parentheses ). I'd like to use the unmodified layer name as the geodb_feature_class_alias by setting a format attribute (which is exposed and connected), but it doesn't seem to ever take. Advice on how to set this up is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

FME Shutdown Script - fme.totalFeaturesRead and fme.totalFeaturesWritten evaluated to 0 in dynamic workflow

How would one go about to get the totalFeaturesRead and written for a dynamic workbench? fme.totalFeaturesRead i evaluated if a regular reader is used. But i am using FeatureReader / Writer - in that case it is not reported. But why not?

Workspace inconsistently freezing on featurereader

Hello, I have a workspace that is attempting to look for substantial changes to the schema/attributes of client data by comparing a past dataset to a new dataset. It does its job well, except for when it freezes. Irregularly, when processing one of its featurereader transformers, FME freezes completely. When it does freeze, the FME process is hung and will not stop/free the license until the machine is rebooted. I am running this workspace via the CLI, but the freezes have happened running from the GUI as well. When it freezes, the log file appears to be attempting to either find a plugin to use for the file, or merging the schemas (based on the last thing written/what would be written next). The freezes sometimes happen on the first featurereader, sometimes on the second. I have grabbed the last lines of the log file below from a recent freeze. This workspace normally takes ~90 seconds to complete, and is still running 16 hours later. I've waited over 48 hours before with no change.

Creating polylines using VertexCreator, showing 'ghost' lines?

Hi,I have a process where I have identified the closest two points to each point (using the NeighborFinder), then created polylines from the source point to each of the closest points, using the VertexCreator (Add Point, closest candidate x, closest candidate y). The process runs and seemingly creates the lines (attribute table shows the features), but the lines aren't visible in the inspector nor when I write them to a .gdb. When I click in the area where I know there is a line on the inspector, the attribute table selects the record - but the line isn't visible? Has anyone experienced this before?

Rename feature classes with dynamic schema and feature types

Hey Safers ... Long time listener, first time caller. Go easy! See below, I'm iterating over rows in a CSV, using these to build ArcGIS Map Server URLs, pulling features from the services, and writing them out to GDB (eventually SDE) feature classes. I use the Map Server layer numbers to build my URLs, in turn these layer numbers are assigned to my schema and feature_types, and eventually become the feature class names in my GDB. Has anyone got any pointers on how I can use the more friendly layer_name values to name my feature classes? Thanks in advance! Sam
