My name is Pelwinderpal Singh and I am currently working for AGI. We currently support the cesium 3d tiles format here in FME. Would appreciate if I could get some help on this issue I am experiencing. Thanks.

 

I opened an esri shapefile using the shapefile reader. I then used attribute creator to create an attribute with a value. I then converted it back to a shapefile using the ESRI writer. When i open the new shapefile, the attribute is still not shown.

I tried adding in an extruder after the attribute was created. I extruded vertically and for direction, I put attribute name that I created. I then converted to a shapefile using writer. When i inspected the new shapefile, i could see that the extrusion worked. This means that the attribute was created.

 

My only concern here is how to get the created attribute to be shown?

Did you add the attribute to the output feature type? And if so, does it have the same name? Shapefile imposes some limitations on attribute names (max 10 characters and they generally have to be uppercase) so if it's not a 1-on-1 match between the output feature type and whatever transformer the data last passes through it won't get written.

Thank you!
