Transformers

I've been trying to create isochrones from a grid of points (shp, 1000m apart) that have the total journey times already associated with them (number format). I tried a 3D forcer and contourgenerator, but I just can't get it to work. I've popped a screenshot below. I'd be most grateful for some tips.Thanks!Renee

Does anyone have any best practices when writing to DWG-files. Using DWGStyler - grouping objects, setting colors and placing text - legends - multiple maps - infographics etc? And using templates.

Hi Im snapping a large dataset of complex polygons with donuts to remove overlaps and such, I tried the sliver remover but it takes forever and eventually crashes with no real reason why in the log, I've tried allsorts of validation to fix this but still have the problem with sliver remover crashing. So now Im using the snapper, but the problem I have is some of my really thin polygons snap to themselves creating degenerate geoms, is there a way to do segment snapping but don't snap to self?

We are giving an internal presentation next week about FME (Server) and how we use it in the organisation. Audience are the BI SAP and Informatica teams.Is there something sexier than the 2 min demo out there? e.g. https://www.safe.com/how-it-works/I'm afraid the monotone computer voice will put people to sleep.Something like @daleatsafe's video of turning on the lights at the new Safe building.

Hi,I've added a new Excel-writer (it happened also with the existing one). Now I choose the Excel-writer on the Feature type-Parameters-Panel and FME breaks down.???Is this bug already fixed in a newer Version of FME2017? I can't use FME 2018, because we work with FMEServer 2017.Thanks, Frauke

Hi all, I have a roads shapefile that is a polygon. When I convert it to a DWG using FME it comes in as a series of blocks. I have a few things that I need to do. Explode the blocks so that they aren’t polygons any more. I’ve tried: geometry coercer and deaggregator but neither of these explode the blocks.I need to be able to style the file as follows: BlueWeight 0.5mmA particular dash line type. I have created a polyline in a dwg with the style I want and used DWGStyler to select it but I can’t seem to get it to work, does the layer in the template and the layer that is to be written have to be the same name? Thanks

I am trying to connect 3d Faces together that overlap in 2d. But connect together perfectly in 3D. They are geological layers. The Topology builder certainly tells me which triangles connect to their nearest neighbours. I'm stuck on how to then create a "network_ID" based on this column. It would have to somehow iteratively connect the shin bone to the knee bone to the thigh bone etc..Any help much appreciated.

I have four LOD1 files (.xml), which present four parts of a city, how can I put these four parts together? I guess I should use a transformer, but which one? Thanks!

Hey!I have created a workspace that downloads a zip file containing a shp everytime the data has been updated. I now want to compare the shp in the zip file with the older shp on a ArcSDE database to see if a column has been added or removed. I have tried using a FeatureReader to read the shp in the zip but I don't know how to do the comparising step. The goal is to get notified via the Emailer when the tables has been changed(not indivudal values). What is the best method?

Hello there we get this shapefile, the project EPSG is correct but it not in the right location, it should show in Saudi Arabia we used all reprojection transformer available but it didn't work anyway to fix it The shapefile is only sample data from the WFS we are reading Thanks

How can I draw a circle with center coordinate (X,Y) and the radius value using FME

I couldn’t figure out the best practice to Convert a file from AutoCAD to GIS and then derive a new feature classes based on a specific layer fieldsIn the ArcGIS, for example this sort of work is done as shown in the following modelHow could I preform the same work by using FME work bench?Thanks Rawan

I am generating a 3d pdf file.I have draped a tif file over terrain and then draped polygons for the same area. The fact the entire tif drapes to the terrain and each polygon drapes over the terrain seperately creates offsets between the raster and vector.Is there a transformer to resolve this? Perhaps I can merge the building polygons so they drape to the surface as one feature? I'm unsure what transformers will help me acheive this?

I have created a number of workspaces that end up in a FME Server project that will finally run on a different machine.My question is: How can I specify FME Server connections for example for FMEJobSubmitter or FMEServerLogRetriever that can run in the new server environment without knowledge of accounts and passwords on the target machine?For database connections this is easily possible, but I have found no way to do this with the connections in the aforementioned transformers.

In a multipatch there is a feature with polygons who do have a Left Hand Rule orientation. I like to change that to the Right Hand Rule orientation. How should that be done?Example:

I have set of polygons which is county boundaries. And i need to dissolve three nearest neighbors / adjacent polygons into one. and this has to continue till loop ends. But there is no any relationship attribute to group three polygons. in the attached , I manually selected three adjacent boundaries for the methodology how it should workHow can we achieve this using fme?

May I know that how to export each vertex from a geometry?I tried to use Vertex Creator before, but the output is not one record for one point, but one record for all points.For example, there is a polygon with 4 vertex,The result I want to get like this:Pointxy1xxxxxxxxxxxx2xxxxxxxxxxxx3xxxxxxxxxxxx4xxxxxxxxxxxx but not like this:Polygonx1y1x2y2x3y3x4y41xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxIs there any function can help me solve this case?Thank you.

I am noticing that even if I set my workspace in Workbench to terminate on rejected features, it runs without error on FME Server. Is the rejected feature handling a workbench-only feature? I am expecting to see the same behavior on FME Server. I'm using 2017.1 in my testing. Thanks.

Hi.  I want to remove, or make transparent all areas where Band 0 and Band 1 are both 0. The rasterbandnodatasetter only looks at band 0 and sets those cells to nodata, which also removes information from the raster image. Is there a way to remove just the black areas (i.e. wher band 0 and 1 = 0)? I have tried to clip the image with a polygon but the black areas still remain. Is there a way to set the band values as attributes?  

Hi FME'ers, on the FeatureMerger, I get the rejection code 'EXTRA_REFERENCE_FEATURE. Does anyone know what this could mean?The problem occurs on a Supplier object, coming from AutoCAD Map3D, with OD objects. It merges with an Oracle table, using two attributes. When checking visually, the attributes should match, but it doesn't come that far because of the rejection.

I have a point file containing instructions along routes, lets call this the major decision points. Each collection of points belong to a route and has a route id. This data is all contained within one file, which can be made of points belong to numerous routes.I then have another file containing points for all junctions along the route, again this data has a route ID that is the same as the previous file for the given route. Lets call these the minor decision points and again this file is made up of points belonging to different route IDs.The problem is that I need to remove the minor decision points when they are duplicates for major decision points, however, these should only be removed if they belong to the same route ID. To complicate maters some of these routes will overlap.My initial idea was to create a loop transformer that processes features that belong to the same route ID, and then remove the duplicate minor decision points this way. However, I am stuck on exactly how

Hey,I am working on table which include duplicates for address field. Earlier I had to define one record from the duplicate set and assign there value "keep" and for the rest of duplicated records I had to assign value "dup". In the end of the day, duplicated records need to be found in the repository with attribute Merged_Id which indicate ID of the "keep" record from the duplicated set. I would like to ask how to do it in the smartest way, considering conditions that if Merged_ID has missing value and address is duplicated in the certain group (left side of the pic), duplicated records 'dup' will have Merged_ID the same as "keep" record (right side of the pic).Thank you!

Hi, I've got more than 2000 DEM files and each DEM file has at least one adjacent DEM file, and they have a overlap area. I'd like to compare cell values of these overlap areas and locate those areas which don't match.I've already made this happen in ARCGIS model builder, but the process is very slow, I hope to improve the efficiency in FME by using parallel processing.Here's how I did in ARCGIS model builder:1.Create a raseter mosaic dataset in the GDB, then import all the DEM files into it and use it to minus every single DEM file by using iterator.2.Change output raster' 0 value into nodata from step 1 by using extract attribute tool which parameter is set as "VALUE >0 OR VALUE <0".3.Use IsNull tool to change nodata value into 1 and other value into 0.4.Convert rasters into polygons and export thoes values equal 0, then I got not match part.Can anybody tell how to do this in FME, which transformers are equal to the tool in ARCGIS? Thank you ve

Hello There we are reading Geodatabase and writing to PostGIS DB , the DGB reader is showing attribute width with 0 value and when we open it in ArcMap, the same attribute do have 50 value as a width, no idea why FME is not reading the value? arc Map view FME geoDB reader

Hi allI created a bounding box polygon and I want to use to clip and export raster imagery reading the imagery from my server Is it correct to use wms reader to read imagery and then ? clipper ? How can setup the resolution of my clipped output ?thxFrancesco
