Transformers

Hi everyone and thanks for your time I've used HullReplacer in order to get my polygon, see attached - but is there a way to place it FLAT at the calculated lowest point of the object. Thank you

Please let me now if you have done this already.

Looking for a single transformer solution on this question. I have an ordered list and I'd like to populate Col 2 (group) with values from Col 1 that start with '# '. Since the number of rows for each group is random and the categories are also dynamic I'd like to avoid hard coding the groups as conditional values.

Hi! I have problems with setting the appearance of multiple geometry instances in FME. For instance: I have N appearances with different names and want to match them with M geometries. The material with the name A(Style name) should match with the geometry with the name A (geometry Name). I cannot figure it out how this is done with the appearance setter. Anyone have an idea? Best regards, Adam

I have a couple of zipfiles in a folder that I basically want to rename. I've used a 'directory and and path' reader to read them in. The name I want to give them is based in the Excel file, and with the featuremerger I add that as an attribute to the file information. However, when using the filecopy writer (either with move or copy as parameter) the name doesn't change. In the translation log, I get the following warning: Ignoring the destination filename 'filename1' because the source dataset 'C:\\edited\\edited\\edited\\GML\\' was not a file. Destination file names are only used when the source dataset is a file' The sourcedataset is set as the folder containing all the files I want to rename, and not one specific file, since I want to rename them all. How can I apply what I want to do? Bonus Question. They are zipfiles, and I would wish to unzip them as well. Can that be established through FME as some sort of batchprocess as well?

Hey FME'ers, For the moment I am updating all my workbenches from Python 2.7 to Python 3.6+. While doing so I encountered a problem with the StatisticsCalculator. Giving me the error: ' ''<' not supported between instances of 'float' and 'str' '. As far as I understand this is because some of the data is numerical where the others are strings. To avoid the error I tried to force all data to a string but that did not do the trick. I suspect this has to do with the fact that Python 3+ uses UTF-8 as default. Note that I only want to calculate the 'Total Count Attribute'. In attachement a simple example of my problem. My workbench version is 2018.1 but I encountered the same problem in FME 2019 Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

If I have a workspace that deals with raster images, is there a way - maybe as a User Parameter - to get the person running the workspace to choose which raster image to use as the input for the workspace? For instance, User A might want to run with a .TIF file, and User B might want to process a .JPG

I'm trying to convert to points from a csv files (it cointains longitude. latitude) but I am getting different results in FME 2018 and FME 2020 version even when the parameters are the same....do yo know what is happening here? FME 2018 is showing the correct projection. Could you help me with this doubt, please? Thanks

Hi FME experts, When reading data into a FME workspace, there is a list attribute in each input feature. Some features have 2 elements in the list and some features have 3 elements. For some reason I only want to keep the first two elements of each list. How can I do that? I searched for the List related transformers, but couldn't find one that can do this List truncation for me. I am using FME Workbench 2018.1 Thank you! Sui

Hi Everyone, I am new to FME and trying to understand basics. Please help in clarifying below doubt. I have a FME Non-Spatial oracle data reader which is pointing to table 'ABC'.And I have another table 'XYZ' with same schema . In my FME workbench "Feature types to read" is set as 'ABC', where as 'Feature types' is set as 'XYZ' I also have Where clause set under 'Advanced', please let me know the difference between "Feature types to read" and 'Feature types' and to which table the where clause points to. Thank you in advance.

I have been provided with a compressed gdb file as a 7Z File but having no luck reading it.

The first image shows my aim - each geometry has an envelope containing info for upper and lower corners. The second image shows where I am now. Note that in my current version I have the envelope outside the building, but I would need to have it inside, and also would need a separate envelope inside the ground surface.

Does anyone have suggestion/workaround for inserting data into Oracle "Interval" data type field? I don't see any comments on FME idea. But I thought it worth asking in forum if someone had a workaround. https://community.safe.com/s/idea/0874Q000000TlVCQA0/detail?smartspace=ideas-fme-server&t=1616021806783 My only thought is building a trigger on table. Use a varchar2 field and convert it into "interval" type before insert or updates.

1) I am looking for a list of modules that come default with FME 2020.2 install. 2) What is the default directory for python and python modules? Thank you, Tyler FME2020.2

Hello! I'm iterating through 58 file geodatabases and grabbing a feature class of a common name from each (though I'm only using 3 of the feature classes for testing right now). Then I'm trying to use the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer to effectively clip millions of features by state boundaries and give them a field with a value for which state they are in. There seems to be a bottleneck at the AreaOnAreaOverlayer transformer (see attached screenshot) that is on track to take hundreds of hours with just 5% of the data coming through. FME 2021.0 is using ~20GB of memory and I'm getting the following message in my log: ResourceManager: Optimizing Memory Usage. Please wait... AreaOnAreaOverlayer (OverlayFactory): Searching for topologically significant nodes... 0.79% done Does anyone know of a faster way to do this? Any help would be much appreciated!

I have two datasets: One polygon split into equal, 100m segments with a Start/End point for each polygon (Ex. 100 -200, 200-300, etc). The second is an excel file that external users fill out, supplying their needed work areas (this is based off the start/end from the polygons but can be a range - 100 to 300, etc). I want to take the Excel file, take its range of data and extract just those polygons that fall into that range. Unique IDs can be used but I just do not know how to select ranges from one dataset based on an excel file. Any help is most appreciated, Thank you.

Greetings, Setting up the google drive connector I read the app permissions which is shown below. It states the app wants permission to 'EVERYTHING'. My question is, what does this mean? Does "app" mean "SAFE". In other words will SAFE/SAFE employees have access and view of the entire google drive? Or does it mean the only the app will be able to see it and hold any private google drive info on the private local desktop? Thank you, Tyler FME2020.2, Windows

I'm trying to install FME but I am getting errors. If there was a log file, it might be helpful to identify what is going on! Keywords: desktop install log server install log command line install

I have vegetation data of a city, but it is given in implicit geometry and when I open the converted shp file of it, it has no spatial extention. I was told it should be possible to transform the file in FME and to multiply the matrix with the reference point. I tried using transformers of FME like coordinateExtractor and Coordinate system setter but it didn't work and I honestly don't really know what I am doing. Appreaciate any tips and instructions!

When creating more complex JSON's with a double JSONTemplater the workspace fails on ampersants (&). With just one JSONTemplater the templater can handle &-characters. Of course I can do a work around bij replacing but that's not what I want. Has anyone an idea how to fix this?

Scenario: Assuming A = 1, B= 3, C=4, How do I use FME to work out the rest of the blanks Much Appreciated

Hello, I am using FME to convert data in .gdb format to .dwg format. In the data I have I have a data layer with rows. In this layer each line contains the coordinates of an x, y point that I want to create but I can't. Can you help me ?

we only have a colored point cloud that we want a model of for example for sketchup. There is no other data such as photos Filtering and creating a model works but I have lost the color information

Is there any way I can use the http caller without an input (Can I start a process with that transformer)? My use case is that I'm trying to create Cityworks Inspections from File geodatabase records and update those inspections with records from the same File geodatabase. In order to do this I need to fetch all the Questions and Answers from the Inspection template to get a list of all the question ID's and Answer ID's. From there I need to somehow map the FGDB records to those Answer values based on the ID's. This would be simpler if I could just call the Cityworks API through the http caller to fetch all of the information as JSON without needing to feed in my GDB s an input. Essentially I want a list of all possible questions and answers for an inspection template to be used later on without having to first feed something into the http caller. Hope this makes sense. Thanks!😀

Input: Output: linear reference worked correctly to produce the shorter segment on the left, but it also copied the other Track 1 line (mile 1 to 36.81) Track 1 was originally a multi-part feature with a gap in the middle. I broke it to single-part thinking multi-part was causing the issue. I checked the linear referenced route data, the measure limits contain the input ranges. How do I know what went wrong?
