Hi,

Is there a way to replace a point (Origin was from a point cloud) with a symbol from a DWG file?

And I also want to scale the symbol in x, y and z with values from a attribute from the point.

For example the attached

And the output format can be a Shape or DWG file.

Best regards,

Jonas

First of all, create a block of the tree in AutoCAD and make the insert point at the bottom of the tree.

Then in FME choose the DWGStyler transformer and link the dwg-file that includes your block as DWG/DWF Template File.

Then you can click the tree dots at Block Name and choose the created block. There you have the possibility to scale with values from an attribute too.

Hi gabriel_hirsch,

 

Yess! It worked!

 

Great thanxs!

 

Also I must choose the DWG that icludes the block in the DWG Writer under "Template File" search path, else it does not work.

 

Best regards,

 

Jonas
