Transformers

Hello, I'm new to FME. I found how to view AIXM data but I don't see a view option for AMXM? Is it possible?

Hi there, I need to run through a large number of GIS layers to run the rubbersheeter over and was hoping to be able to iterate through a list, rather than need to add the SQL Spatial reader for each layer. Is there a way to do this? Also I will be outputting the result to another database. I imagine I just need to read the input name and save out the output feature class. Regards, Josh

Hi folks, I'm having some issues when setting a loop. I input a TIN in loop,and then I do some processing (smoothing). At the end I've set a parameter to match; if it doesn't , then I want the TIN to be reprocessed (with a new value for refinement). I seems like the loop is not accepting a TIN as a trigger for the next loop, or this is what i understand from the log: Loop to testLoop_INPUT1620857756 Input Splitter (BranchingFactory): Transformer/Factory testLoop_Clipper_5_Solid is blocking and cannot be used in a loop, but was found between 'Loop to testLoop_INPUT1620857756 Input Splitter' and 'testLoop_INPUT1620857756 Input Splitter' Transformer/Factory testLoop_Clipper_5_Solid is blocking and cannot be used in a loop, but was found between 'Loop to testLoop_INPUT1620857756 Input Splitter' and 'testLoop_INPUT1620857756 Input Splitter' testLoop_VolumeCalculator_9_GQuery (GQueryFactory): A fatal error has occurred.

Using an undetermined number of records as input, I want to process 20 rows at a time with an html report generator to produce a table, and then output pages of 20 rows each. I have a process that works, but it uses a separate html report generator for each page of twenty rows. How can I create a loop that outputs sets of pages with 20 rows ?

Hi. Do the later versions of FME support writing GML 3.3 ? I've read in the "Implementation Standard Revision Notes" from OGC, that "GML 3.3 builds on GML 3.2.1" (which is supported by FME), and that "All extensions are made in seperate XML namespaces". I hope that this means, that a GML 3.2.1 file is a GML 3.3 compliant file. And so I can use 3.2.1 in place of 3.3 whenever this is required. Can anyone verify this ? Cheers.

Hello, a while ago a user suggested to implement an "Option to control default sheet on Excel writer" Does anyone know if this is now possible ? I am writing an Excel file with up to 100 sheets and I want to force Excel to open the first sheet by default. Thanks.

Hello, I am trying to load in my gml data, however all attributes are coming into FME as data type strings, when i have even set the parameter obtain data types from xsd schema. I have also tried the xml validator and this thinks that all attributes are strings. Thanks, @Takashi Iijima​ @mark2atsafe​

So, the workflow is as follows. I managed to download a folder from a URL-adress and to unzip it. Next step is where I got stuck. I want to remove all record in my feature class (ArcSDE-database) and then I want to append the same feature class with the records from the shapefile that I downloaded. Anyone got any tips on which transformers to use? Super thankful for your help.

I have an ArcGISOnlineConnector transformer at the beginning of my workspace (initiated by a single Creator object), and the Content Source is set by the user as a group in an ArcGIS Online (AGOL) portal. When the workspace is run, the output from the ArcGISOnlineConnector is a collection of definitions for feature services, web maps, etc. within that chosen group. Those definitions and their attributes are exactly what I need for the main operation of the workspace; however, during processing (within a PythonCaller, to be specific) I need dynamically to access the Group ID parameter that was chosen in the transformer by the user. How can I do that programmatically? In the PythonCaller, which leverages the API for Python and the REST API, I generate an Item object (Python API) for each feature service, so I could use that Item object as a starting point for finding the group id. I have used fmeobjects a lot--but my breadth of knowledge of classes, methods, etc. is rather small--so ther

I tried to convert an IFC to CESIUM 3D Tiles in FME 2022. The IFC has a coordinate and a projection . After tramsformation , When i upload in cesium the coordonate still set to (0,0). I tried it this other IFC file and i have the same issue. Can ANYONE HELP ME? Suggest me a solution ? suggest me a set workspace to solve it ?

I am asking this question on behalf of my colleagues. My colleagues are facing a problem that they are running a .fmw script at different times of the day. Sometimes this script takes 1 hr and another time this same script takes 2-3 hours. Other applications are also quite slow, so it's probably wise to look at connectivity/databases issues and the likelihood that the problem lies on FME Desktop is probably to a lesser extent or nonexistant. However it could still be a combination of different factors that influence the different runtimes in FME Desktop. So I would like to get a rough idea if there are maybe some issues in FME Desktop that might influence the different runtimes. I was thus wondering if others face different runtimes in FME Desktop as well and might have some ideas about the reasons. One colleague opted some ideas that might impact the different runtimes and I was wondering whether you could stand behind those ideas. Query in SQL databases Transformers in FME Desktop 20

Hello, Could someone tell me how, from a PythonCaller calling a dropdown list via the PyQt5 module, to use the selected string (in the example below, the "select" variable) in the list to fill in a feature attribute and then leave the dialog box once the choice is made? # coding: utf-8from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget , QComboBoximport sys def actionSelect(): select = qcombo.currentText() print("Selected street : " + select) app = QApplication(sys.argv)root = QWidget()root.setWindowTitle("Street Selected")root.setGeometry(100 , 100 , 500 , 300) # création de la liste QComboboxqcombo = QComboBox(root)qcombo.setGeometry(100 , 10 , 150 , 30)qcombo.activated.connect(actionSelect)# création de la liste des itemsL = ["Street A, City A" , "Street B, City B" , "Street C, City C"]# ajout des items à la liste QComboboxqcombo.addItems(["Street A, City A" , "Street B, City B" , "Street C, City C"])root.show()sys.exit(app.exec_()) For example, in the example below: Give this result:

Hi. I have a change detector. If the folder have some change i have a system Caller to open a txt files. But the system caller open 13 times. I want the system caller opening only one time. Can you help me. Thank

I have a CAD file that I want to convert to CityGML LOD2 with Xlink using a provided template. To automatically generate unique surface IDs using SurfID_@UUID(), I need to first deagregate the CAD file into individual surfaces. If I don't do this, I get errors about non-unique IDs. However, separating the surfaces in this way causes the roof, walls, and ground surfaces of the building to be split into multiple surfaces and IDs. I would prefer to have each incoming surface represented by a single GML ID, but I've tried several options and haven't been successful. I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if there's another approach I could try. Could anyone please be so kind take a look to the tample and smaple CAD file.

I'm using template file (geopackage) from one feature of the dataset to set the datastructure in FeatureWriter. FeatureWriter zips geopackages in dataset parameter like this: $(FME_SHAREDRESOURCE_TEMP)/Folder/FeatureTypeName_@Value(attribute).zip/FeatureTypeName_@Value(attribute).gpkg. Zip-files are then uploaded to S3 bucket using S3Connector. It's working great but it seems that the extent of the template file is used for all geopackage/zip-files. Is there a way to not get the extent from template file but rather from actual features to get correct extent for each geopackage? I noticed the error when usign "zoom to extent" in QGIS. And if not, is there way to update the extents of geopackage/zip -files already in S3 bucket, preferably by not dowloading all of them locally first.

Hi all, I have a current workspace that calculates a single least cost route using the ShortestPathFinder to minimise an attribute on a network. I came across this article on ArcGIS online (https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/analytics/create-a-wildlife-corridor-with-the-new-least-cost-corridor-tool-in-arcgis-pro/), and i feel it would be a great addition to my workspace. Is there any way I could re-create this type of output in FME? Thanks, Jack

I want to run multiple workbenches in a sequential order based on the success and failure of previous workbenches. I only have access to FME Desktop (No server) so I used 'WorkspaceRunner'. I created 3 workbenches (all three with basic tasks to open an excel workbook and Add/Subtract/Multiply values in column A with values in column B then add the results into a new sheet of the same workbook). Only issue is the flow runs through until the end and gives me 'Translation was SUCCESSFUL' even though one of the them fails to run, I tried using 'Tester' with different values but nothing useful. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

I have created an FME job and I want to run it from task scheduler. So I created the .BAT file (and .TCL file) by running the Run Batch Deploy process. Once the .BAT file is created I test it by double clicking it. The .BAT seems to start up fine (I check the log file and see it is running). So then I try and use task scheduler to run the same .bat and get an error from FME saying : ERROR |Unable to perform any licensing related tasks. This 64-bit version of FME requires 64-bit Background Geoprocessing, ArcGIS Pro ArcGIS Pro is installed and I am able to run the job fine if I manually click on the .BAT or if I run the FME job from the workbench. The Task, within Task Scheduler, is set to run with a headless account (the same account I use to log into this machine). Within the task security properties I have set the job to Run whether user is logged on or not and the password is saved as a part of the task. So, how do I get task scheduler to know that ArcGIS Pro is installed when the FM

I have an DWG file which I convert into an FGDB file by using an FGDB writer with a Dynamic Schema Definition: The DWG file contains different types of geometries on single layers, e.g. polygons, lines, and points. In combination with the dynamic feature writing to FGDB, this results in that after the run, I have more layers/feature classes in my FGDB than in the original DWG file. For example, if I had a layer "XYZ" in the DWG file which contained polygons, lines, and points, in the resulting FGDB file, there are the feature classes "XYZ_polygons", "XYZ_lines", and "XYZ_points". So far so good, this is expected and totally fine. My problem is the following: How can I preserve the stylings of the features? For example, in the DWG file, there are some green areas: In the DWG, the green fill color is defined on layer level. During the translation, FME correctly picks up the color and also recognizes it has been defined on layer level: However, when I import the relevant feature classes f

I am trying to add an extra label for each point of the point cloud based on whether or not they were located inside or outside the gml building model. When I clipped a model with my point cloud data with "Clipper", it only identified that point cloud was outside and that point cloud data was identified as 1 feature own on its. How do I label/mark each point in the point cloud whether they clipped with the model or not and then save it as an extra information/variable in a new las file.

When converting IFC to OBJ using FME, how does the information in IFC change to OBJ's attributes?

I want to make a transformation from IFC to IndoorGML. The core modules of IndoorGML can be written correctly, but I can write any point geometry or line geometry into routeNodes/routeSegments which are the navigation extension modules in IndoorGML. I think if I can know the right parent class of "Route", the routeNodes/routeSegment inherited from it can be written correctly. Hope someone can help me!!!! I can't find the actual inheritance relationship in IndoorGML schema!

I could extract XYZ of each Corner (4 XYZ point of cube corner) or Mid-Point of each Surface (1 XYZ point) or Center Point of 3D Cube (1 XYZ point ). The challenge here is Once ALL the XYZ are extracted, there is no way to tell which XYZ belongs to which i.e. Front side , Back side , Top , Bottom, Left Side or Right Side (6 side) Also where there are lot of 3D cubes around, i believe there we need to create unique_id for each coordinates using GlobalId+Name+ XYZ ID the idea is to extract L direction (Longest Direction ) and F direction (Angle facing) in below format

Hello all, Please I am seeking help / support to extract ANGLE & LONGEST direction of the geometrical object in below format for each object. L is the longest direction of object (In the direction of the longest dimension on the element ) F is the object facing direction to (In the direction of the normal vector from the centre point) I could obtain the longest /shortest / angel direction from Bounding Box / Length Calculator but not sure to relate it in which direction ? In this case its 3d objects fitted in a room. Square 3D Objects Rectangular 3D Objects Circular 3D Objects F and L of this front side I have extracted 4 Front facing Corner Vertices and 1 mid- point of it of the front side of plate Also using bounding box as i have extracted Back side (bolts) corner points and the 1 centre-point of entire bounding box object (including plate + bolts ), if this helps. This objects are part of walls / floors / ceiling of room. Please also take into consideration, sometimes this walls ar
