Transformers

Hi,I'm parsing text files - I'm using VertexCreator to take lat/lon columns to get a point. I have CoordinateSystemSetter going into it.I'm passing the VC into an ArcGIS Online Feature Writer for points (geometry is set to arcgisonline_point). I set the writer up with Import Writer Feature Types (as suggested)This process successfully creates the point in ArcGIS Online, but it always places it at 0,0. It writes properly if I used a writer to FC on disk and use that FC as input to the online feature service. I'd like to skip the unnecessary? writing to disk if possible. Is my workflow correct? Is there another step/setting I need with the VC?thanks

Hi guys, Is it possible to detect a plane from a point cloud. Specifically, I have a point cloud of a box (cube), and I want to detect one of the faces (e.g the top face). My cubes tend to be supported on an almost horizontal plane, that is Z direction of the box, is very close to the Z axis. The final challenge is to estimate the inclination of the top face, relative to the reference axis. Do you have any idea how to move forward here? Thank you very much!

Is there some setting that needs changed?​

I want to transform data from a database to CAD(DWG to be exact) with certain symbology. I have a Microstation cell library. How can I use the symbols in this library as a DWG template, either in the parameters and/or in the DWG styler? Transforming to DGN works fine, but I can't seem to be able to transform the cell library to be used as a DWG template, and using it as is results in an error.

Hi Community I have some binary that represents signed 16bit values that I am encoding as hex (with the Binary Encoder) and was hoping to then use the base converter to convert the hex into a signed decimal but it turns out it only supports unsigned conversions :(.Does anyone have an ideas on how to perform this conversion? I have doen much googling but without any luck.I would be quite happy to offset all the values by +32767 to get them all into a Unit16 range if there was any way to do that.... Cheers!

Arcgis10.7.1 is normal, and the seven parameters of the conversion are set well. The conversion is normal in ArcGIS. However, when using the ESRIReprojector converter, the source and destination coordinate systems are selected, but the 'geographic conversion' parameters are not automatically generated and optional

We have a workbench which is driven by a where clause and an SQL Executor which picks up data driven by the where clause and process this. Occasionally we are seeing a bunch of consecutive jobs select zero rows in this transformer. We've tested the SQL and it returns the expected, we've re run the same predicate and it works ok.My surmise is that some sort of failure occurs between SQL Server and FME but the SQL executor is not handling this well and not reporting any failure. We do see failures in the connectivity between our FME Server and the Database and usually these fail the translation but in this case all we are getting is a _matched_records of 0.Has anyone else seen this behaviour, in our case now i've found it the task can be terminated and the data will be picked up by the system and resubmitted, however I now start to wonder if we are missing this anywhere else!

Hello, I can't seem to find an question/answer or an article about texturing buildings models with a point cloud. Is this possible to do in FME?  Here's a paper on that topic: https://www.int-arch-photogramm-remote-sens-spatial-inf-sci.net/XXXIX-B6/161/2012/isprsarchives-XXXIX-B6-161-2012.pdf Also, a video on Undet for Sketchup manual application (but I would expect an automatic way, like in the article earlier): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JsG-PQTNlM&ab_channel=UNDETPointCloudSoftware The idea is to create a building model from a point cloud and assign texture from the same point cloud in order to achieve a realistic model. Thank you!

Hi folks, I'm trying to get the SCHEMA reader to read a MS Sql Server non spatial database. I keep trying to give it the correct Database Connection - but at the moment it wont. see it. Is there a way to make the Schema reader correctly get the database connection properties?

Hi I'm not sure on the correct transformers to do the following?   source data

I am stuck with the problem of updating a table in geopackage.I am reading excel records which have a unique Excel_ID number. Then, after some transformers I write the result in a geopackage non spatial table with the primary index column FID set in writer's parameters. Also I track changes with the Change Detector based on Excel_ID field, where the Original features is destination geopackage table and the Revised is the excel table. Further, if I try to write updatet rows in geopackage table with the selected Excel_ID as the ID attribute of the Row selection of a writer parameters, I get an error since the Excel ID is compared with the geopackage FID, which, of course, are different. Then I tried using Feature Merger to combine the updated excel rows with the record from the geopackage table to attach geopackage_fid to the rows join on Excel_ID field. ID attribute of the Row selection of a writer parameters I set to geopackage_fid.However, this time some of the features are suc

I need your help. I got two roads from two different readers. Those describes a the same road and they are basically the same. But, their segment isn't the same. ''Readers B'' has 300 more attributes than than ''Readers A'' and I can find more descriptions who are useful to me in the Readers B. But, I want to keep the Readers A because there is some segment that I don't find in the Readers B. Thus, I need to change the geometry of the Readers A into the geometry of the Readers B. Can someone help me?

Im trying to extract point data into a ESRI shapefile from rasterdata, but i'm very unsure what transformers I should be using? I've been laborating with rastercellcoercer and coordinateextractor but I just can't get it to work. Anyhone have an idé where to start? I could need a push in the right direction at the moment.

Hi,I don't have a specific problem that I'm trying to resolve, I'm just looking for opinions/discussion on alternatives. More of a "poll" on what types of solutions people might be currently using...The SchemaMapper transformer can be very handy but it definitely has it's limitations and it feels like it's getting a bit long in the tooth. I don't think there have been any significant changes made to it in several years, so I was wondering if people are still using it, or what design patterns might be used as an alternative?Some of the limitations of the existing SchemaMapper transformer that I'm aware of are:No ability to parameterize input parameters, esp. the schema mapping fileNo way to perform complex "and/or" conditional mappingNo way to use conditional operators other than "=" in mapping rules (e.g. <,>,!=, in, like, etc.)No way to map if null/empty/missingAside from manually performing these mappings in the workspac

Hi. I want to write my file which consists of some IFME Faces to Ground, Roof and wall surfaces. But the results after Writers are IFME null. How can I fix this Problem? I need some faces at the end

Hi community,I would like to divide a specific road by equal segment of 10 meters. Is it possible, and which transformers should I try? I tried some, but it didn't result with the result I'm looking for.​ Thanks.

I am writing out AutoCAD points--no blocks--to a new CAD file, but I want to save the Block Name, Layer Description, and Source File info for use later. For that purpose, I have created three User Attributes (in Manual definition mode) in the User Attributes tab of the CAD Writer: BlockNm, LyrDesc, and OrigSrcFile, respectively, and populated them with values from existing attributes. When I look at the attributes of the output CAD file in ArcGIS (Pro or Desktop) or in AutoCAD Map 3D, I do not see these added user attributes. During translation, I get a warning message that the OrigSrcFile value had to be truncated (I'll handle that later), so it appears that the Writer is actually writing out those user attributes. I just can't see them in ArcGIS or AutoCAD. Should I be writing out the User Attribute differently to make them accessible in ArcGIS and AutoCAD? (I do see in help files that ArcGIS Pro reads user-defined block and Civil 3D attributes, but the help does not e

Hi I've tried following the recipe in this article https://community.safe.com/s/article/Using-the-Directory-and-File-Pathnames-Reader-Record-File-Metadata for reading metadata on a bunch of shape files stored in different subfolders (one *.shp per folder) in parent folders in a collective project directory.All the shape files (54 in total) have the same file name "Vejle.shp" with similar attributes in them. So I only have the distinct [parent-folder/subfolder] names to identify them from another. My goal is to use the the outcome metadata for renaming all the shapefiles so they are matching the folder names. Or even better: directly write a new attribute to the files based on the respective input folder name as i transform and load my data from shape into one feature class in an ESRI file geodatabase.How do I do that?

Like others, I've also been stumped on how to do this after trying variations of the JSON transformers.Can someone upload an FME sample snippet or provide detailed instructions on how this can be accomplished?Thank you in advance!! I have the following JSON which contains an array within an array.I'd like to:extract the TaskListType from the 1st array (MaintPlanData)extract the OperationNum and OperationDesc values from the 2nd array (TaskListItems)and put them into a row/column format like the example below. TaskListType OperationNum OperationDescABC 0010 ExecuteABC 0030 TechnicianABC 0040 RecordEFG 0010 Executeetc { "RemainRecCount": 0, "MaintPlanData": [  {   "ScheduleIndPlan": 1,   "PlanItems": {    "ItemNum": 1234,    "TaskList&q

Hi, I am trying to write a CityGML LOD1 file containing building parts in a proper way. I use OSM data (3dbuildings.com) in geopackage format as a proving ground. The only example workflow I have found was about Cesium https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSB_GLB_ikQ but the output file consisted of building parts only. Actually I find resulting files looking similar to sample data from Hamburg in FZKViewer but I am not sure anyway.  The main idea as I get it right is to remove geometry in case of a building that consists of building parts and link them to a parent building with a gml_parent_id.  Do I need to create a separate gml_id for each building part or it's enough to leave a part without it? Unfortunately there are errors while validating an output file. Can I connect directly buildings without geometries and building with geometries into the same CityGML Building writer? Is there a more compact manner to get a right result (please find attached a workspace)? It looks clumsy ma

I've been trying to rotate a 3D feature around its own axis using the 3DRotator but I don't seem to be able to get the custom axis right. Could someone please help me setting the parameters based on the input feature coordinates so that the result is rotated 90 degrees around the feature axis? I've attached my workspace as starting point. Here's what I've got: Buffer line to polygon:Extrude to solid Now rotate the feature along its axis (indicated by red line) - rotate as shown in green:

I have two groups of features, we will call them Group A and Group B. I'm processing them separately and then summing up Group A attributes using statistics calculator which I then need to use to calculate values for Group B features. Is there a way to force the .sum or .max value to features not a part of the original calculation?

Hi, I'm having problems with the JsonFragmenter. When I supply de HTTPCaller output to the Defragmenter some values are adjusted. I can't explain why.Anyone with a solution? Regards,Eddy FME InformationEdition: FME Database Edition (floating)Version: FME(R) 2018.1.1.2 (20190121 - Build 18586 - WIN32)

Using a HTTPcaller I downloaded a Zipfile which contains a XML. Using a FeatureReader I retrieved the path of the XML file. Furthermore the FeatureReader was used to read this XML using 'path_windows' as attribute which contains the XML file. However, I got stuck there. In case I read the XML directly using a XML reader it works perfectly.See the attached screenshot for my workflow.

HI guys, I am trying to create an image from vectors and point clouds, and later include it on an HTML report generator. After RasterExtractor and a BinaryEncoder, the HMLResportGenerator is unable to open the image file. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you!
