I have polylines that have Z coordinates on each vertex. The polylines represent water pipes and are below the ground surface ~1 meter. I have a LAS of the ground surface which can be converted to a raster to create a surface. The situation can occur where the polylines get above the ground surface in between the vertices due to variation in terrain and lack of vertices with X, Y, Z values in the polylines. How can I identify those locations and add an extra vertex so the polylines will stay below the ground surface?

i have dragged and dropped a LL27 shapefile on to Fme workbench 2020.2. Then I add a writer. Set the output dimension as 2D and coord system as TX-S. Running this is giving the error as above. The same workflow runs without errors in FME workbench 2017.1 In fact I do not have to set any dimension in 2017.1 The simple coordinate conversion from LL27 to TX-S runs normally.Wondering what I need to tweak out here in 2020.2 to get the same result

Is it possible in the MongoDB reader to have a JSON Query similar to {"_id" : { "gte" : { "$date" : "@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeAdd(@DateTimeNow(local),-P7D),%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:00.000)Z" } } }I have tried putting the entirety into a User Parameter, but the date section does not get calculated before being sent to MongoDB, leading to a warning being of the following.MONGODB3 reader: Feature Type Parametr 'mongodb_query_document' has invalid value '{"_id" : { "gte" : { "$date" : "@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeAdd(@DateTimeNow(local)' for feature type

My FME Workspace opens without any issues, but when I try to run it I get an error stating the log file cannot be opened.. It specifies a directory I do not have access to – what can I do??

I know this question has been asked in many various forms, and I know the key is to correctly define the relationship between the feature and its attachment prior to writing, but we're struggling. I've attached a snapshot of a demo workspace. Any help is appreciated.  Thanks!

Depending on what sections of my FME workflow I run, the VariableRetriever returns with the expected value or returns empty. If I run with the large selection (in red), it does not work. If I run with the small selection (in blue), it does work. Can someone explain the VariableRetriever seemingly inconsistent behavior? See attached screenshots for details.  

Can you help me to find the solution?Thanks,

I have a text that randomly has numerals and text for numbering. So the text can be: 20 trees will be planted of which ten will be oaks. I want to replace all numerals that are in text with numbers, so I get: 20 trees will be planted of which 10 will be oaks. I already have a csv (with the numbers as numerals and in text) which I could use to merge. I was thinking about putting every single word in the text in a list and the matching all words with the csv with a loop, but this will be very data heavy. Any suggestions to do this in a clean way?  

I like using the automatic feature definition in the writer - attributes are defined automatically based on input. Sometimes I wish I could influence the type and width (string length, field width) of the attribute within my workflow, to ensure the attribute is written out correctly. I know I can switch to manual feature definition and change it there but that makes things harder. I've tried a number of transformers but I could not find any that would influence how the automatic setting interprets the attribute. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

I have several years of data and I would like to remove the overlapping between years and for that I' m trying to perform a clip using a custom transformer and a loop while groupping them using the variable YEAR as group by (see below).  For the first clip (i.e. the year 2000), I'm going to use data_Clippee of 2000 as input for clippee and data_Clipper of 2000 as input for clipper and this will give for the outside Output_Outside_2000.For the second clip (i.e. the year 2000), 'm going to use data_Clippee of 2001 and Output_Outside_2000 as input for clippee and data_Clipper of 2001 as input for clipper and this will give for the outside Output_Outside_2000.AT the end, I will have my last result that will be a union of data_Clipper of 2012 and Output_Outside_2011.   I have exported the customed transform

Hi, I'm having a customer transformer with a group by linked on an attribute:Every feature that enters the Custom transformer (it has 3 input ports) has a value for that attribute.I'm under the assumption that the custom transformer operates as follows:reads all features, process features with value A first, next switches to value B and as last value C.However in my workspace, the custom transformer processes all features in 1 go, regardless of the group settings:(I've added a logger in the beginning to indicate on which group it's working and it's logging all 3 a few seconds apart, while the CT needs to work a few minutes on group 1 and again a few minutes on g

Whenever I run data to the ESRI feature service writer (update), it updates the data with the relevant fields correctly but for some reason geometries are now not appearing when viewing the data in ARCGIS. Has this happened to anyone else before? Screenshot below

Morning,I have a group of LiDAR point clouds which were classified in several classes.Unfortunately the client only wants the point clouds classified into 4 groups.How can I regroup several classes into the 4 classes I need? Example (class 1-2-3-4-5 to become class 1, class 6-7-8 to become class 2, 9-10-11 to become 3 etc etc)

FME 2022 Workbench is showing 'Error in Translation' after a successful Translation (See Screenshot). The Data Inspector window doesn't open after the translation. Is there a bug in FME 2022 causing this?What can I do to work around this issue?The log file is available on request.

Hi,  I am new to FME. I am having below error with one our jobs.

I have two separate Route Feature Types and a bunch of Point and Line events. The Route features share a common alignment (on top of each other), but they have different measure values. For illustration purposes, think of them sort of like different units stored in the geometry measures, but without any sort of equation to be able to easily convert between the units. My plan was to overlay the Route sources to get a more granular set of lines with nodes wherever a node exists in either source, and with multiple measures named by the source it came from. Once I have that combined geometry, the event translation should be as simple as generating the dynamic segments based on the first route, dissolve the lines and read the second route measures from the feature, to get my translated event. In the example below, I rename the measures for each source before sending them in to the LineOnLineOverlayer but the output lines only have 1 of the 2 source measures. I also tried Intersector, but

Hi Community,I'm trying to convert MBTiles Raster format SQLite into ESRI File Geodatabase Raster. I have run the FME workbench from the above formats (default values) and it has created an output correctly, However the MBTiles contains much greater coverage that the resulting ESRI File. Am I missing some sort of parameter to ensure that all coverage is created rather than just a section of it? RegardsNZ

I want to make sure objects resulting from the AreaOnAreaOverlayer are wider than 5 cm. For this I use a Tolerance value of 5 cm. In some situations however, it moves the border of objects more than that value (around 20 cm) where I would expect it would just create an object of 20 cm wide. I'm using FME 2021.1 build 21619. See the attached template for the data, the situation occurs near the red arrow:

I'd like to create a WB that is capable of QR code batch production to a PDF suitable for printing. The input would be a spreadsheet containing the QR codes (text) in a column. I have the QR Code Generator but not sure how to enable it to write multiple codes. Does anyone have experience with this or recommend a B build?

We have a unique number 0 and 00 to identify paying customer.I set (0 and 00) in the AttributeFilter but both values end up on either 0 or 00 depending on wich one in the list comes first.What am i missing here? or should i set up a tester instead for each number or text value? /Tim

Hello! I am using GeometryReplacer to convert a CSV file with a column containing WKT geometry. The column in question has the name "GEOMETRI, LINJE" and contains a linestring. When using GeometryReplacer, the result is a point with a point that seems to be the centre point of the coordinates of the linestring. As an example, the string LINESTRING (280696.375713613 6653063.17617913, 280698.536236071 6653059.93539544, 280707.427616957 6653067.91270913, 280704.353027305 6653070.5718137, 280696.12642256 6653063.17617913) converts to a point with coordinates 280701.671, 6653065.356, neither of which appears in the original linestring string. The coordinate system used is ETRS89.UTM-33N, which I set using a CoordinateSystemSetter before the GeometryReplacer. All of the LINESTRING () WKT-geometries become points. Does anyone have any insight as to why this happens and what I can do to make sure that GeometryReplacer produce

 IMX Writer: Detected in invalid table names 'RoofSurface'. This writer expects only specific table names. Please add a new IMX writer to see the valid table names I guess it has something to do with the original tables from my citygml. but how to tackle this issue? 

I would like to combine lines on the attributes in column A OR B OR C and so on. The "combine on attributes" is an AND condition. What would be the cleanest workaround to achieve this?

When I run the tool the "Band 0" values are staying the same after the reprojection transformer is run, any tips to get the new values for "Band 0"?
