Is it possible to import KML/ KMZ files and then transform them to dwg or obj?

Dear FME community,

 

I have CityGML tiles which I converted into KML or KMZ files. They are in a certain folder structure. Now if I open single KML files they will only display in 2D with the inspector transformer. Is there a way to load all the files that belong to the KML structure? So that it displays in 3D? When I upload it in Google Earth it works just fine. At the end I would like to convert these KML or KMZ files into 3D CAD files like dwg or obj.

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

With kind regards

Christian Lendl

So, basically you want to read the Collada files associated with the kml.

When complex folder structures are present in the kml check your kml reader that Maximum NetworlLinks Traversal Depth Parameter is set to an appropriate value.

But, if Inspector reads the features but only displays them as 2D just switch to 3D mode by pressing the button.

Thank you so much for your help!

I found a way to avoid my KML/ KMZ files. I used my original CityGML Data instead.
