Transformers

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

Hi All, I want to filter my datasets for features which are closed polygons with surface area>0. I assume I need a filter but which one and how to set it right?  TY

Hi, I want to identify lines in my data, that have the same x and y coordinates and differ only in the z values. Can someone help me out? I'm new in FME.  Thanks in advance Tom

I have two polygon shapefiles that I need to spatially join. I'm trying to populate township/range/section in my dataset based on a TRS shapefile. I have it working in ModelBuilder through ArcGIS but I can't get it to correlate the same in FME Desktop.

Hi. I have a terrain model (in a ESri FGDB) and i want create contour ( interval 1m )from the terrain. Whats is the transformer and parameter that i have to use. Thank you

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.

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:

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.    

The lines may cross themselves and the ends of the different parts may not be a common point.

 Good Evening, there is an issue I cant solve by myself, maybe someone can help me. I have a dataset of features ,which i want to analyse and one rule is, they need have 3D coordinates and cant be 2D if they dont they should be filtered out. How can I approach this? THX to all.  

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 

 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. Some solid components may be missing traits, appearances, measures or attributesProcessing on a solid has failed. The solid may be too complex, not closed, or not orientable.Processing on a solid has failed. The solid may be too complex, not closed, or not orientable.Error encountered while copying traits to gen

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 w

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?​​

Hello, the objective of the workbench is to cut objects in order of priority according to the values of the attributes. The priority has to be fixed automatically.I first generate a table that looks like this:The objective is to autmacitally generate the order of clipping in a table : I don't know how to solve this problem, can anybody help me?Thank youRonan

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.

Hello I'm running an FME workbench that will basically clip the Oracle Spatial data and transform into DWG format. I've used clipper to clip the larger boundary to smaller areas and running the transformation on individual smaller areas. FME Desktop 2016 is throwing Insufficient memory available when i'm running on 32GB RAM and 64 bit PC. I'm happy to attach the FME workbench if needed. Any help would be much appreciated. please find the attached log

Is there a easy way to do that in FME?Thats how i did it:now i wonder if there is a easier solution.

I have an attribute in a .gdb containing dates in the format (yyyy) in a geodatabase in short integer which I need to change to an actual date attribute in the format (dd-mm-yyyy) with the date being january 1st for all. Is this possible? /Rasmus

Greetings friends. Tell me if FME has the ability to change the texture size in FBS files containing building models while maintaining UVM coordinates. If this is possible, tell me with the help of which translators this can be implemented

I have an requirement where to write an xml file with around 12MB, which is taking almost 30 mins in a 16GB ram server. Is there any alternatives

Is there a way to enable feature caching between sessions, so that the workspace doesn't need to be re-run after closing Workbench? Thank you.TylerFME Workbench 2020.2.1.0 Win64

Hello, I am working with a Civil 3D 2019 file with FME verison 2018 that I want to convert the dynamic blocks as points to a GIS layer. I can see in the Civil 3D file a field name Visibility1 that has text of what type of water fitting it is. i.e. TEE, BEND, VALVE etc. (see image) I would like to "expose" this attribute to use in the final GIS point layer as an attribute. I looked online for solution. I tried using the attribute exposer to get autocad_entity_visibility, autocad_text_string, autocad_entity_visibility and autocad_visible_attributes{} butI don't see any text. I have exploded and not exploded block entities. I checked and unchecked read visible attributes as text entities. I am sure that there is a solution, but haven't found it yet.Thank you for your responses and help.
