Renaming a file turns it into a folder

Hello all,I've got a spreadsheet with filenames, and have been asked to rename the files in a folder/subfolders - with the filenames in the spreadsheet. After joining them, which works fine, I then put it through an Attribute Manager to have the attached image as an output destination (Folders and a Document at the end). I was wondering if anyone could shed any light on why the output files, from the FileCopy writer (both Copy and Move mode) come out as folders, and not the PDF files as they went in?

Quick way too rename files for noobs.

Hi!  My knowledge of FME is very limited and I'm only familiar with the program. I have several folders containing thosands of .jpgs. I want to rename adding a prefix. I've seen other threads like this but they don't help me at all since I know nothing of the program. This one [https://knowledge.safe.com/questions/41624/is-there-a-quick-way-to-rename-files.html] for example uses a tool named filecopy but I can't get it too work. Any suggestions?

Compare 2 Schemas -> get list of new attributes

Hi,  I am using a matcher to compare 2 schemas (2 esri gdb, original and modified one). Result of this match should be a file which lists new attributes (probably a csv). Can you please give me a hint, how to realize this? Do I need more transformers than matcher or do I only have to configure the CSV writer correctly? (I am using FME 2013 and a FME beginner) Thanks in advance, Christin

How to Filter court yard Polygons which are located outside of the building area?

Hello folks, I have some data of building polygons and some other of court yard polygons, now I want to be secure that there are no court yard boundarys outside of the building boundarys. Is there anyone who can suggest me a Transformer to detect the misplaced court yards? Thank you.

Extract a Table from webpage and write out as excel or similar

Hi,I am trying to extract a table that is embedded wthin a webpage that is an endpoint. Now I can get the table via html extractor as a lump of html but what I want to do is write it out data as an excel table.One option is to write it out as a html file and then use a html Table reader but I would like to cut out the step of writing out and writing in.In essence I would like to handle the attribute that is a snippit of html that represents the table data I want to manipulate. Would the approach outlined in this post: attributes-from-kml-tag @deanatsafe​ apply? However I think I am missing something as I cannot get the last step to work.Attached is workspace and sample html data.Regards Justin. url example: https://www.nratrafficdata.ie/c2/tfdaysreport.asp?sgid=ZvyVmXU8jBt9PJE$c7UXt6&spid=NRA_000000001803&reportdate=2021-01-01&enddate=2021-01-08&dir=-1&dim1bin=7

Detect specific error in Dataset

Hello, I want to detect errors in my dataset which contains building areas. I want to be secure, that there is no other outer boundary of a building inside an outer boundary except if theres an inner boundary between the to features, like the case if theres another building inside the court yard of building 1. I added a drawing of the case. Which transformer can I use? And how to set it right. I glad for any help :) Thank you.

Civil 3D to DEM raster

HI,Ik have a Civil 3D file and have been asked to transform it into a DEM raster: a raster file with heights as its values. The output format should be GeoTIFF. I've managed to get something out of it but I'm not sure if I did it right.The input looks like My workspace is this one:So I converted my surface into 3D points and then with the RasterDEMGenerator into a raster. Is this the only and best way to do this? Thanks,Arno

Hi all, How to replace band values (0-28) with textual values from the mapping attribute {"0": "Value1", "1": "Value2", ... "28": "Value29"} in a GEOTIFF raster file?

 I have opened the GEOTIFF file in Data Inspector (see screen capture below) and I do see the mapping attribute, containing a list with all the values.So, I somehow 1) need to read out these values from the mapping attibute and 2) replace the band values with the textual value. Sure FME can do this, but I did not yet figure out how... 😃 Any help will be appriciated. TIA, Egge-Jan

Hi,I'm new in BIM and IFC. I have two problems with import IFC file. I used Industry Foundation Class STEP/XML Files (IFC) Reader and I got a messages: The first problem:,,A 2D feature was encountered in the feature class 'IfcWall_line', which is defined as containing 3D features. The feature, and any other applicable features in the same feature class, will be modified so that it has the same dimension as the feature class" What does it mean exactly? Is it a problem with wrong geometry?  The second problem:,,Error encountered while copying traits to generated solids.

Trim white borders of PNG result from ChartGenerator

I'm building an html file with data and charts. The PNG charts generated with the ChartGenerator transformer have huge white borders around the actual chart and legend and make my html look bad. I want to trim those borders and I'm doing this, but I wonder if it's the best approach:I use a RasterBandNodataSetter to set white colour to Nodata value. With RasterExtentsCoercer adjusted to use DataMBRExtents I get a polygon with the extent without the white bordersAnd with the Clipper I clip the PNG chart with that extent. I there any other way of doing this? I have 16 charts to add to the html file so I'd prefer to do this same thing with just one or two transformers.

Using ChartGenerator output without writing it to a PNG file

Is it possible to use the ChartGenerator output chart without writing it to a PNG file first?In my workspace I'm generating a few charts and I need to use them along with other data in the same workspace to output an html, an excel and a pdf ​files.For example, you need to do something like this to generate an html file with images. I would have to save charts as temp PNG files to read them again in the same workspace and use some extra transformers to get the PNG as an attribute. Isn't there an easier approach?​​

Selecting line/arc features that form the smallest closed loop around a point

I have a scenario like this:where I have a series of points, each surrounded by lines. Each line is split at every intersection and we can assume that all possible polygons would be closed. The lines, unfortunately, contain no useful attribute information to assist in this selection process What I'm looking for is a good method to reliably select line features that can form a polygon, that surrounds the point, with the shortest perimeter. For example in the diagram below the orange point would have the orange lines selected and the same for the purple.
