I'm attempting to convert a series of MDB's to OBJ's. However, I'm getting this error:

OBJ Writer: Unknown geometry type 'IFMENull' is not supported, the feature will not be written

I tried using a 'geometry filter' to get rid of all null values, but that didn't work either.

Hi @cyrusblankinshi, as far as I know, the MDB (Microsoft Access) format itself doesn't support storing any geometry data. See also here: Microsoft Access Quick Facts

How did you create geometries from the source MDB dataset? What kind of geometries are shown if you send the features to FME Data Inspector?

Why not inspect features with Visual/Data Preview and Feature/Record Information before writing them into a destination dataset?

And, what type geometries have remained after you did get rid of the Nulls with the GeometryFileter?

It is a file format that Neverwinter nights 1 and 2 use for their models
