Transformers

Hello! I would like to convert a IFC building into a CityGML building, I created all the components of buildings(wall, floor, roof, etc.). But I don’t know how to merge all these components into one CityGML building. I would like to create a building with appropriate CityGML hierarchy. Could you help me?  

Hi,I have a multipatch containing buildings in a file based geodatabase (.gdb). I want to be able to replace the geometries and attributes of certain buildings by updating them with buildings from another multipatch based on a unique ID. This is successful but when I load the multipatch into ArcGIS Pro the updated buildings appear grey instead of white. I don't think it is a problem with the appearence stored within the multipatch (I have tried GeometryColorSetter) but rather that ArcGIS Pro doesn't recognize the difference between walls and roofs in the objects written by FME.  When lighting is not enabled all objects appear white  When I enable lighting the object in the middle (written by FME) has grey roof instead of grey walls (shadow) and a white roof as the other buildings have.  

I want to transform this JSON for import in a database what would be the best practice when using the standard transformers?{"keys":["day","domain","subject_identifier","kpi_type_code","kpi_count","kpi_value_min","kpi_value_max","kpi_value_avg","kpi_value_last","kpi_alert_condition_lower_limit_last","kpi_alert_condition_upper_limit_last","kpi_value_extremum_ok","kpi_value_avg_ok"],"values":[["20240407","production","7ab20028","RA_MAP_FREQUENCY",1256,"24,0000","24,0000","24,0000","24,0000","0,9000","50,0000",1,1],["20240407","production","7ab20028","RA_EXCEPTIONAL_CONDITION_PERCENTAGE",1440,"5,9418","5,9418","5,9418","5,9418",null,"25,0000",1,1],]}

I have the FME 2021 Workbench version. I have an API protected by an SSL certificate (.crt, .csr, .key, and .p12). How do I read my .p12 certificate and connect it to my API https://**** in FME? Is it possible in HTTPCaller?In my directory C:\Program Files\OpenSSL-Win64\bin\partner_key, I have my four files, the .crt, the .csr, the .key, and the .p12 (with a password for the .p12 file). On the other hand, I have my API https://api-pp-iop.******.com/******/******. I want to extract all the data from this API. It won't work if I can't associate the .p12 certificate with it.

Hi everyone, I have finished a FME Workbench and I wish to share it throughout my organization via an ArcGIS Pro Tool (Spatial ETL Tool). To create an ESRI Spatial ETL Tool, I followed this tutorial (Create an Esri spatial ETL tool—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation) and this specific section: “Reference an existing FMW file to an ETL toolbox”.Through the user tool interface (as in the Geoprocessing pane), I would like for a user to be able to:-         Define the output file name and the path where the file location.==> Those two parameters work.-         Select the unique input file in a Geotiff format (extension *.tiff)==> Doesn’t work

I have 100 items of data, which are grouped together in various sub groups using a field 'groupNo',I want to process each set of groupNos individually, I need to select a group, and do the following processes for each individual group: Take one item with status 'original' which has data and duplicate that data to the 'new' items in that group. How would I do this using the groupNo identifier? An example input output data set: Input:OID, Status, Data, Group1, Original, XYZ, 12, New, <null>, 13, Original, ABC, 24, New, <null>, 25, New, <null>, 2 Output:OID, Status, Data, Group1, Original, XYZ, 12, New, XYZ, 13, Original, ABC, 24, New, ABC, 25, New, ABC, 2  

Hello, I’ve run into a strange issue. I am accessing a polygon feature class via a SDE connection. Whenever I add the reader it does not appear on the workbench, it does appear in the navigator panel, but not on the actual main workbench menu, where the workbench is visually developed.item appears in navigator panel, but no where else. I can run other readers from other .sde connections but there is something wrong with this one. I can access/read the data via the same SDE connection via ArcPro. 

Hi, I would like to share a solution to an issue I had, just to hear what you think about it. The challenge is: to create hyperlinks in a Word document.FME allows you, with the use of MSWordStyler transformers, to create a Word document in a very versatile and easy manner. These transformers, however, do not allow you to insert hyperlinks into the doc.Please see the attached zip file hyperlinks-to-word-python-docx.zip for a workflow where the document is created using MSWordStylers, followed by some post-processing with a PythonCaller to insert the hyperlinks: POIs with a link to Google Maps, in this case.No, I did not write all of the Python script myself, hell, no! I used some existing bits and pieces and tweaked them a little bit to get the job done.The add_hyperlink function was found on

Recently I have been playing/fooling/struggling around with the creation and modification of Word documents using a combination of MSWordStylers and the Python docx library, called from a PythonCaller. A very instructive journey :-)To make sure I don't forget immediately everything I've learned, I have decided to summarize my findings in a template. And because a lot of input has come from this community I will share the results here. Please see the zip file attached: images-to-table-python-docx.zipIt starts by reading Parcel information from a database (gpkg) and it creates a summary table in a word document, including a little image with the parcel plotted on an aerial image.Inspiration has been taken from these to discussions:

Hello... I’m new here, and I have a basic question. I’m trying to update a hosted feature layer in AGOL, but I have a 400 error about HTML. I check my attribute table, and I have one attribute with notes (string), and the character that I have a problem with is <, but I cannot change it because I need the information. So, I cannot use the text encoder or change the character. Can anyone give me an idea of what I can do?  

Hello I would like   to move the rectangle in the direction of  right side ?fme 2021thanks in advance 

Hello everybody.I'm stuck I think over a trifle.I have a dataset with dates like "1970".I want to create a column allowing me to have date classes in it (for example [1970-1980[ ).It seems to me that I need to go through a testfilter and a creatorattribute but what I do inside doesn't work.Could someone give me a hand on the operation so that I understand how it works?Thanking you very much in advance

I have it reading some JSON files and some go through and others dont with an error of "INVALID_FILE_INACCESSIBLE". The file sizes range from 500Mb to 8Gb in size.

hello There we  number of hexagon feature and we want to sample them , but the sampled features should not have any spatial relation to other one , in other terms should not touch the other sampled hexagon Thanks  

Hi there,Relatively new to FME and very new to JSON and API’s. I’m working with the Smartsheet API and I’m stuck on how to the get the data set up properly, I’ve gone down many of the JSON Transformer rabbit holes and I can’t find a similar example to how this data is set up. When I use the JSON Fragmenter, I get columns and rows returned as separate arrays:  The columns are set up like this: And the rows/cells:I’ve gotten as far as exposing the attributes for each array separately, but I don’t know how to get cells back to the

I’m using a HTTPcaller connect to a swagger API that ONLY receives raw JSON data in the Upload Body or uploading a file (one block of JSON data per file). I can’t pass through any parameters from a attributemanager. When I try to pass through a parameter in the Upload body of the HTTPcaller, I get this error message:Attribute(string: UTF-8)          : `_response_body' has value `{"errors":[{"code":400,"message":"A non-empty request body is required.","title":""},{"code":400,"message":"The dto field is required.","title":"dto"}]}'When I try to pass through {“active”: true, “firstName”: “@Value(firstName)”}, I get this error: Attribute(string: UTF-8)          : `_response_body' has value `{"errors":[{"code":400,"message":"The dto field is required.","title":"dto"},{"code":400,"message":"',' is an invalid start of a value.

I have a set of line data that I wish to buffer for a client.The requirements of their GIS system are such that the shapes must not be 2D reentrant, lack donut holes, and be OGC Simple + OGC 1.2 compliant.I buffered the lines to .0003 ground units (coordinate system is in degrees)Input feature qty is 9287.The validator only passes 8175 of them.Every failure reported from the listConcatenator is “Fails OGC Compliant,Fails OGC Simple”.Is there something that I’m doing wrong?

Hi there :), I’ve been using RasterConvolver in FME Form 2023.0.1 to calculate the standard deviation with a round kernel, so some weights were equal to 0. The results were always incorrect, so to understand what’s happening I simplified the problem and used a raster with all values = 1 and one weight in kernel (3x3) = 0.From what I understand, the formulas used in RasterConvolver for calculating the weighted mean and weighted SD are a bit off. Here is what I deducted:The weighted mean is divided by a number of values (kernel cells) instead of by the sum of them. The weighted SD: in the sum equ

Hi everyone ,I have dynamic doors in my dwg AutoCAD file :If I click on the small arrow the door changes direction , and the big arrow changes the size of the door I want to read on fme the default position and size of the door , just like a normal static door. But here is how the DWG Reader reads it :   Any Insight is much appreciated !-Yagami

I’m using the JSON reader to read in a folder of JSON files. The reader is working how I want it to, however I would like to get the original file path/name as an attribute on each feature.  Is there an easy way to do this? I’m hoping that I am missing something silly.   

Hi All, I’m working on a workflow to collect tree data in the field using Survey123 & Field Maps. The tree surveyors complain about having to manually change the Tree IDs every time they come back from the field. I was thinking that FME could help with this matter by reading the Feature Hosted layers (point, lines and polygons) and use the counter to re-numbering everything.I have the workflow pretty much ready but I want it to achive the following:Read and Overwrite the same Feature Hosted layers by using Feature Holder? I want to avoid creating a new layer with the new IDs. is that achievable?  I only want to overwrite one field (Tree ID) then the rest of the fields stay the same. I was thinking only exposing the Tree ID attribute in the reader?

Dear FME community,I have a featureklass of lines. I want to find the start and end point of the lines. I used the Snipper transformers, setup as the screen shot below. '0' is the first vertex, '-1' is the ending vertex but the start and  end points which I created , don not lie along the line. I also used coordintateExtractor,, it gave me the same result. I couldn’t figure out what went wrong.I would appreciate any help to solve this problem.

Greetings,I’m writing FME workspace that should be able to scan a list of IP Addresses for modems. The result will have reachable:yes/No attribute to determine the IP address is reachable or not.First thing to think of is using python caller to invoke the ping tool of OS. I did it that way and it’s working. However, the client policy demands workflows that are only built-in. No custom coding, and I want to make sure that there is no built-in transformer that may do the task?Is there a built-in transformer that can check if a networked IP Address is reachable or not. Is there one that can be tweaked to do so ?Thank you-Moataz.

I have a complex workflow using multiple Workspaces. Each reads and/or writes temporal operational data to CSV’s.My question is, when do you use a Reader/Writer as opposed to a FeatureReader/FeatureWriter?I’ve settled on using FeatureReaders/FeatureWriters though I’m not sure if make much difference.I understand the Feature* transformers are geared towards mid-workflow use where you have input and output.Thanks in advance.

Hi, I use parallel (//) processing in other workspaces successfully but this is the first time with a Clipper. The tips offered in article: FME Parallel Processing: Tips and tricks for generating groups | Safe Software do not seem to apply, or at least I think they don’t. I am trying to clip an OBJ of  ~12720000 triangles with ~93K polygons of diiferent sizes. The OBJ has no attributes, just geometry. 1st try: link the same modcount (4 groups) to both Candidate and Clipper inputs of custom xformer containing only a Clipper.  The data passess through it without any clipping. The Clipper inside is set as “multiple clippers”; Clippers do not arrive first; Reject only parts, merge-clipper, and the rest is set with defaults.2nd try: cloning the OBJ as explained in article but it slow and eventually crashs as it runs out of memory.
