      Hello ​@vimva679, thanks for posting! To ensure your E57 components are properly preserved during conversion, you'll need to map them to their corresponding FME components. This can be done using the following syntax on the writer parameter:

      <e57component>,<fmecomponent>

      Using this configuration, I was able to successfully write intensity:

      Otherwise, are you able to share the version/build of FME Form being used? I was able to maintain decimation on write in Form 2026.1. It may also be helpful to know if there are points or features coming out of the “Removed” port of the PointCloudSimplifier? Happy to help further if needed! Kailin.
