Transformers

Similar to method here: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/civil-3d-forum/how-to-create-surface-or-solid-to-model-existing-tunnel/td-p/8551041 I have as input a underground tunnel in MESH (pointcloud also available). I want to convert this MESH to 3DSOLID DWG. One idea was to take every single polygon of the Mesh and use the Extrude in the right direction, or the 3DBufferer (takes too long) to create a solid object before writing to DWG with RealDWG-writer. However this does not seem to be very pretty or fast on large sections. Is there a better approach to generate a solid object from a tunnel with FME?

Dear Sir/ Madam, So I would like to reproject my CityGML model (ground surface) from EPSG 2326 to EPSG 3857. However, I notice that the area is changed, even though they are both in meters.May I ask if is it normal? Is there any reason behind this? Thank you very much. With regards,Zach

I tried using Appearance setter for KMLwriter but didnt able to get the result. Appearance setter worked for CityGML output but not for KML output.

Hi, I have a (complete) road network containing all the "real" roads segments of the road network. I then have several "copies" of the road network but with different segments, these segments define attribute properties for the road segments. I want to split the "real" segments by multiple attribute segments.e.g.: Road 1 --------------------------------------------  5m                      10m  ---------|-----------------------------------  70km/h                 50km/h        70km/h --------------------|-------------|----------Desired output:5m           10m          10m          10m --------|-----------|-------------|---------- 70km        70km        50km/h       70km/h  Does anyone have a good solution for performing this in FME? 

I'm using a coordinate system that is not in FME’s Coordinate System Gallery. I added a custom coordinate system by creating a new .fme file and using the online tool. When I use it in my FME model it give me the message: "Invalid longitude value given for projection origin".My .fme file has this information:COORDINATE_SYSTEM_DEF PTRA08-UTM/ITRF93 \\  DESC_NM "PTRA08 / UTM zone 26N EPSG:5015" \\  GROUP EUROPE \\ EL_NAME GRS1980 \\  ORG_LAT 0 \\  PARM1 -27.0 \\  PROJ UTM \\  QUAD 1 \\  SCL_RED 0.9996000000 \\  SOURCE "https://www.dgterritorio.gov.pt/geodesia/sistemas-referencia/regioes-autonomas/PTRA08-UTM-ITRF93" \\  UNIT METER \\  X_OFF 500000 \\  Y_OFF 0 I think the error is in PARM1, but I think it's ok... -27

Hi,I'm using the DGN styler to plot my data using RGB colours that I've pulled out of an mxd, I've set this to the FME colours and also tried RGB colours (multiplied the parts of the fme colour x 255) but neither seem to work. The data inspector does show the colours correctly.As a workaround I assigned my different coloured polygons to different CAD levels then set them the elements colour to 'by level' and importing a csv of by level colours. The problem is I now need to set all my elements on a single level so can only have a single colour.I've had success by assigning a colour index in the past but need to assign RGB in this instance.Any help would be much appreciated.

I managed to create centerline (blue line) using suggestions by "@takashi" thanks for that., I would like to create additional lines (black line) inside the polygon, lines should be equally disturbed.  

Hello, I have a lot of attributes that need to be input into specfic cells in an excel template. Some of these cells are merged and some are not. How would i write each individual attribute into seperate cells based on the template? Many thanks,@Takashi Iijima​ @Mark Stoakes​ @nielsgerrits​  @ebygomm​  @jkr_da​ @mark2atsafe​ @jdh​ 

Hello everyone,I'm looking for an easy way to extract domain value from a gdb for validation.I know that you can use ArcGIS Pro to export a XML schema from a GDB, but I want to skip that step. I tried to use Schema Reader, but it doesn't give me the full domain values in the attributs.Anyone have an idea ? Thanks

I've an ArcGIS geodatabase feature class with some attributes. I do some attribute mapping and export data in a new geodatabase feature class.Everything works fine but some of the original attributes are not transferred in the output data. I don't know why......I've used the Attribute Manager to remove and rename some attributes, then I've used the Attribute Creator and the Attribute Keeper, the last step is with a final Schema Mapper and finally the new feature class: but there are some attributes (not interested by any transformation during the process) that are missing (the fields in yellow).Any idea? Thank you  

The obvious transformers (Rasterselector, RasterBandRemover, RasterBandKeeper) do not give the desired output. No errors are generated but all bands of the CSAR raster file are still present after processing. The bands seem to be hidden but I can not find a way to make them available for processing.

I've been trying to work out how the light source definition is actually used within the SurfaceFootprointReplacer (with shadow mode set to perpendicular) transformer without luck. My end goal would be to extract an estimated surface of a 3D shape for a hydraulic radius calculation. If I know the shape's rotation from the horizontal axis, how does this get defined by the vector parameters?Defining a point along the face didn't appear to be the right answer, nor was offsetting a point... A simplified workflow showing a cube rotated 45° is attached to illustrate the issue.

Hi there, Thanks in advance for any help. I have a point cloud that is in XY-MT format. My goal is to figure out where the openings are on a 'flat surface'. I have taken the point cloud and filtered it so only the data I care about is being used (PointCloudFilter). I am now left with a point cloud that clearly shows my openings. I am looking to show the XY coordinates of the 7 openings shown on the attachment. I have tried a few of the transformations, but I am not having much luck.   Can someone point me in a direction where I may find the positions of these openings?

I just upgraded to ArcGIS Pro 3.0 and upgraded Data Interoperability (FME(R) 2022.0.0.2 (20220518 - Build 22343 - WIN64) . I have several tools built in the previous version that are now failing. The only error message I get is literally: "Error running translation". That's it. Not very helpful. Has anyone else experienced this with the Pro upgrade to 3.0?

I have two datasets with polygons that I would like to connect with the linebuilder in order to show the distances. One with adresses, the other with corresponding numbered objects.  For each object for each adress there should be a line (or a point when these are identical) For this I would like to use a centerpointreplacer for both followed by a linebuilder (and lengthcalculator). However the linebuilder generates polygons when there are multiple objects with one adress that have the same xy as the adresses and one or more objects that have a different xy.  I tried using a sorter with both datasets (the adresses on adress, the objects on adress and number). The sorter for the objects has a group by on the adresses. However:Grouping the objects in the linebuilder by adress I get polygons. Grouping in the linebuilder by adress and number generates points only. Any thoughts?

I am reading the polygon and Lines dataset in FME. I need to select lines that are intersecting a polygon and populate the polygon name in Lines. I have used tester after feature to filter one polygon and select intersecting lines using a spatial filter. Is there a way to loop through a polygon feature and select one polygon at a time in FME, Instead of entering the Polygon name in a tester every time.

Good day, I tried to convert XML file to shapefile using FME and using the same steps in safe website but the data did not show up in the map and the shape was point, and what I was expecting is line.Here is the data source of XML:OneGeology catalogue (brgm.fr). Thank you with kind regards,Majdi

My purpose is to save it as .txt document. Manually I can open it in notepad and save it as .txt. But this has to do through FME.

I'm try to translate a multilayer GDB file to GEOJSON file. As a result. I found all layers are merged into one single layer. How can I translate it into multilayer GEOJSON

I'm trying to read a Orthophoto from ArcGis-DB using Reader-Transformer Geodatabase-sde-Raster-Dataset and clip an specific area of the raster using definition of Search Develop. At the End, make a tif export from that.  The Problem is that FME represent the reading raster als grayscale, although the raster has four bands. How should I export a rgb tif from raster dataset? I would appreciate any Help in advance. with regardsSoschianet

Hi! I'm trying to extract parts of a response body from a HTTPCaller. I've read some previous threads on the topic but I just end up more confused. The response body looks something like this:  [{"href":"https://download-geotorget.lantmateriet.se/download/99d120aa-9532-43a9-a5a7-6128b333bc88/files/root/militartomrade_kn0125.zip?q=t-CwjGgGH....1Vl4dA==","title":"militartomrade_kn0125.zip","type":"application/octet-stream","length":3792,"displaySize":"3,7 kB"}, {"href":"https://download-geotorget.lantmateriet.se/download/99d120aa-9532-43a9-a5a7-6128b333bc88/files/root/hojd_kn0125.zip?q=t-CwjGgGHQJjXdA1styBEV1B.... ] And so on. It goes on like that, so I shortened it down. The parts I'm trying to 'extract' are several URLs, and I'm looking to create attributes from them, in order to download the zip-files they point to. Does anybody have a solution to this?  You

What is the best management practice (bmp) for assigning Unique ID to AutoCAD drawing (dwg) objects? I am preparing to use upsert (haven’t upgraded FME yet) and need to establish a Unique ID for every AutoCAD object that becomes a feature. The current workspace ingests ~300 drawings, transforms to GIS features, then writes to a single feature class in an ESRI geodatabase (gdb) file. Up until now, my focus has been on the ingesting and transformation. The current workflow simply overwrites the entire feature class every run. Now, with upsert coming, I want to refine my process to update and insert only modified features.I understand that AutoCAD object ‘handles’ are unique to each drawings object, but I’m thinking not necessarily unique across multiple drawings. I could concatenate handle with drawing name, which would work for me currently, but could at some point be flawed, as drawings in different directories could have the same name. I have other ideas, but want to hear form the com

Hey there, Trying to figure out of this is possible with the current data I have. I have a road network that looks like this of which I generated points for the mid-points of the segments. The road network does have froms and tos.Essentially we have a camera on a car that needs to traverse this network in the same direction every time to make comparisons going forward. So ideally im looking for the quickest way to travel this route hitting ALL of the roads and have something that can be repeated every month where the driver is going the same direction every time. Is there an article on this I can't find?
