Transformers

Hi FMErs,Has anyone had any experience importing GoCAD ts files into FME using another reader type. It appears that GoCAD is not supported directly in FME, however the geometry of the object/s appear to be 3D triangulated surfaces ?Thanks in advance

Hi I'm using Revit native reader to read Revit 2021 arch project file but having problems with transformers rejecting geometries. E.g. using MeshMerger or MeshSimplifier transformer will result in rejecting all imported geometries. Any hint how to solve this problem? I want to simplify and join geometries before writing to gltf, to get gltf file that's easy to renderThanks ​

I am writing from a csv where all the fields are text. One of these fields contains a date 10/11/2021. I need to load this to a geodatabase that has the field formatted as a date. I need the date to look the same in the field I am mapping to. I have tried many different things and am probably just missing something but I can't get this to work. Attached is what my current workspace looks like. I believe I need to do this in the attribute manager using the dat time format but I am not figuring out how to dot his properly.

When I run this workspace locally, it puts out a .prj file and all is well. The issue only occurs on fme server. there is no prj in the zipped download.

Hi list.I'm trying to convert a DWG in a local system to UTM. I'm using AffineWarper, and has identified 5-6 control points, that seems to work.When viewing the output in Data Inspector, all looks well, but when I output it to a new DWG, and view that in Data Inspector, it's not good at all.All text features are either still in the local system (masquarading as UTM, i.e. at Equator), or someplace else. Only regular geometries are located correctly.Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a work-around for this ?Cheers.

Hi,I am working on a project where I need to create a new SharePoint list from PostgreSQL data each year.I have three items that I need to put into my list. Two choices fields (called Company and Indicator)A text field (called Feedback) At first, I used the Sharepoint List Writer but it looks like the properties of the Choice field are not what I want because the Choice field is configured to allow free-form input. And secondly, when the list is created, I don't know how I can write into the Title field (the best would be to make it not mandatory). So, my idea was to use the Sharepoint Rest API to do a PUT request in order to create my customized list, but even with the topics I found online, I am not able to do anything other than GET requests... Anyone can help me on what I need to do to create this list ?Thanks for your help and have a good day, CPTSDN_

What I need to do is seperate the table by type. The types can be water, industries, woods etc. All are in the same table in postgis. So what I need to do is to get one outport for each value somehow. Later I will turn these in to raster data with 3dforcer. Can anyone help me? Best regardsJesper 

Hi,Something looks to have changed on the ESRI side on how they are serving out the tiles for the basemap.  Im getting alot of 301 blank tiles and have replicated it with Safe on live chat but ended up asking if there is anything else they can help with???? This looks to be a issue but i'm guessing ESRI will say update the library and it works but the functionality is coded into the transformer so should it be Safe? You dont need to do anything special, just add a esri leaflet and preview in browser.  Could I ask if anyone else is also experiencing this? Thanks

Hi All, i am trying to create some statistcis (records counts) on  10 fields in a table. I dont want to use multipule filters if i can avoid it.   I want to find out how many rows in the table have valid values such as ie Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) ie Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) ie Diameter <>  "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,)  The TestFilter looks promising except the test condtions are If, Else if, Else. I want the test conditions to be  IF, IF, IF.  ie currenlty the test filter allows IF Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0) Else if Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00) Else Diameter <>  "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0,)   i would like it like  IF Depth <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0)  -- port these to statscalc IF Invert <> "-99, NULL, BLANK, 0, 0.00)  -- port these to statscalc IF Dia

I have run some stats on a dataset where features fall into a specific polygon and have the count and the category. I now need a list that I can bring together in a single concatenated value that is {count1, cat1, count2, cat2, count3, cat3} The problem is that the number of the categories varies from polygon to polygon. The approach so far is statistics calculator => list builder => list concatenator (using category) => list concatenator (using count) which gives me two lists, comma separated but need to being them together. with the resultDoes anyone have any sugges

I am using a statistics calculator for a max value and then use the counter to proces new features which receives the new value thats Counter start = @value()+1. However it keeps failing due to an INVALID_PARAMETER_COUNT_START. I can't figure out why it fails. I tried setting the scope to global or local but it just doesn't want to work. So does anyone have an idea on how to avoid the Counter and get the same result? My thanks in advance! - Zoë

I have a dataset that has been collated daily over the past year but a crucial attribute hasn't been collected which would have taken the submission date of the record and looked back to see if any matching records by Name over the last 10 days and then if true write a True or false into an attribute.Is there an easy way run/play back through the dataset by day and calculate the True\\False attribute and then add to the result, I need to consider all dates cumulatively so the first date I would be just records for that day then 2nd date would be the processed records and the records for the next date etc.It feels like it should be quite a simple thing to do but I can't get my head around it at the moment, any help would be much appreciated. Many Thanks  Tom

Hi all, I'm trying to download a file from a secure url using MOVEIT platform. The URL for the file looks like: https://moveit.alleghenycounty.us/download?arg01=file859046970&arg02=124162592&arg03=b24db17e945a7f9aeee83c81d52cbc The site uses a secure login and I have username and password The first step in the workflow is to download a .xls file. Do I start the workflow with an HTTPCaller or do I need a reader first? Any help would be greatly appreciated! -Jason  

Hi All, the attached screenshot explains a lot so might want to check that out first. My problem is that I have successfully set up a homemade 'file watcher' where we can drop various files into one folder to be sorted and moved to their correct folders. All this is doing is saving a lot of manual drag and drops but there's a lot of them so it's quite useful (if I can get it to work).  As you can see in the screenshot, the first 4 files sorted just get copied back out and that works perfectly. The 5th, an xls file called 'covid vaccine data', needs to be read in and the records written back out as a csv before being copied elsewhere. You can see that I attempted to use a Feature Reader but the records come out blank so the writer at the end writes out 1,274 blank rows. Any idea how to make this work so I can get that file, read in the actual data, and write it back out? It feels like I'm close but it sure isn't working yet :) 

I'm trying to move address points from essentially rooftoop locations to the curbside of the address automatically (working with about 10,000 points) I've got the polygon parcel data, the address point data (contains which side of road the point is located on, but is the only layer I have with this information), and the road polyline. I thought the best way to set this up would be to move the address points within its containing parcel to the closet edge of the parcel it's contained in. However I think there would be quite a few scenarios where it wouldnt move the point to curbside and so I'm trying to figure out if that is the cleanest approach and how I could set that up, or if theres a better idea. I've added a picture of the layers I'm working with and how I want the points to appear. Ideally I'd want the points moved to where the end of where I've drawn out the red line would be the ideal go

I sometimes use a FeatureJoiner to correct data fed into the Left port. I use a StringConcatenator and JSONFragementer to generate the corrections, which are fed into the Right port. The FeatureJoiner's Join Mode is set to "Inner"; Join On specifies an Attribute from each feed that match each other 1:1; Attribute Conflict Resolution is set to "Use Right". What I find is that conflict resolution is NOT applied Feature-by-Feature; it's applied to the entire set of joined Features. So, if none of my correction Features correct a particular Attribute in the Left feed, all of the Left Attributes bearing that name are passed through intact. But if even one of my correction Features corrects a particular Left Attribute, the remaining correction Features will replace the value of their corresponding Left Attribute with "<missing>". To avoid this, I have to add that Left Attribute - corrected or not - to every Feature in the StringCon

I already came quite far with the following post (I hope and think) https://community.safe.com/s/question/0D54Q000080hHLnSAM/dgn-to-dwg-conversion especially with the post of lenaatsafe. I think there are probably two important main steps to do: 1) Create a template file which is needed for converting the shared cells to autocad block (in my case I try to make a template file based on a cell dgn library)2) the actual translation between the source data (a dgn file with cells) and a dwg writer.  Based on her post, I think I managed to create a nautocad template file based on the dgn cell library. See below image in how I have created the template file.

While reading data from Smallworld, FME translation is terminated abruptly by throwing error "Error running translation." in the translation log. Generally if there is any issue with source, data then FME writes an error, skips the record and move forward. But here in this case after the error translation is stopped with error message. If the data come out of reader, we would be able to handle it by some logic. However, in this case data is not coming out of reader. Are there any settings in FME such that we ignore such records and move forward? I have already tried setting Continue translation in Rejected Features handling. It dis not work. Any ideas on this are highly appreciated. Kindly help ..  Thank youSiva Bulusu

Hi all,Just taking my first steps with FME. I am using the FTPCaller to download two .zip files that are provided on a weekly basis. When I specify an existing folder everything works fine. However, I'd actually like to download the .zips to a folder whose name is actually the date on which the download took place. However, when I try and incorporate this into the FTPCaller's 'Target File' path (e.g. C:\\Downloads\\@DateTimeFormat(@DateTimeNow(),%Y_%m_%d)\\@filename) the translation fails as the file is unable to be written.If the FTPCaller is unable to create a destination folder on the fly, how would I go about creating the folder?Any suggestions appreciated!Thanks!!

Hello, Could someone provide some information on how i would go about breaking apart a polygon based on the number of vertices the polygon has. It has to be similar to the ST_Subdivide postgis function. This function breaks the polygon into smaller polygons at right angles. @Takashi Iijima​ @davidmelanconasters​ 

Hi Team, I have a large map which has a route on it, I have buffered the section to widen the path and would like to know how to snip the map section out. Also how to adjust wider or smaller on the buffered route.

Which i then replace with regexp.How can i have it just yield following result? "amount" : 10000 I'd like to have it solved inthe Templater rather then resorting to regexp clean-up.  Tx in advance to all.

I'm doing a change detection on a date field from 2 sources. One source always includes time even if they are "000000". The other source appears to be strip those 0's. How can I add the hours minutes seconds to the records that are missing them? Do I need to filter for the records missing time values before adding the 0's. I will attach an image with the "J_NotifyDate" column missing time if they are 0's

Hi, I thought this would be easy but it's starting to look like it's not even possible. For each feature, I want to copy the contents of a list attribute from the previous adjacent feature (-1). It is possible to create a new attribute and copy an adjacent attribute this way, but since you cannot just create a "list" attribute in the AttributeManager, this doesn't seem possible. Is there a way to achieve this? I have also looked at the ListCopier, but it cannot access adjacent features since that functionality is only available in the AttributeManager. Is it possible to access adjacent features via Python? If that were possible, maybe Python could provide a solution to this problem. Thanks.
