Hi all,

I'm fairly new to FME and have an issue I hope you can help with.I have a shapefile of overhead powerline spans and have been using the FuzzyParrallelLineFinder custom transformer to find spans which (likely) share a right of way (ROW).Each span of the line is a separate feature.Often the ROWs are more complex with not quite parallel lines (hence the Matcher not quite doing the job) but this is just an example:

My ultimate goal is to merge these spans into a single ROW centreline with attributes taken from all of the input spans.The transformer has been working great and the matches I am getting back are really promising and make sense.It provides each matched feature with a _line_id and a _match_id linking to the best case match _line_id,along with various other stats I can use to filter matches.There is also a list of best case and additional matches.

I can use the stats to filter out matches that aren't useful but beyond this I am unsure how to use the output to group spans into ROWs as many spans are matched to many others.Beyond this I can go on to use the highest voltage within each ROW group and assign additional attribution to this but getting there is seeming impossible to my brain right now!Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello,

I have a network where this are many connected lines on nodes
I wanna make from the ones having the same value of an attribute to get connected and became one feature.
Is there any way to do it ?
Thank you

Hi there,

I'm looking for a way how to bring together these two data-sets.

1st data-set contains records with unique ID and several attributes:

2nd data-set contains IDs,days and operational hours:

What I would like to do is bring these tables together,but they should have 1 row per ID,so the days and the opening hours should be transposed to new columns,like this:

What I tried so far was to use a Feature merger,having the 1st set as requestor and opening hours data set as supplier,but this way I can't get all the days of the week.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Hi all,

I'm having issues merging two Excel files - I have tried FeatureMerger but I'm not getting any results.

I have a "main file" that contains a feature "POI_SHORT_NAME".
I also have an "abbreviations" file containing the same feature "POI_SHORT_NAME"

What I'm trying to do:
When the postalcodes in both files match then the POI_SHORT_NAME from the abbreviations file should be written to the main file.

Cheers,

Ed

I have trail data from two different sources and am trying to figure out where they overlap,and where they don't.There is any combination of A,B or A+B.Where the trails do overlap they misalign ever so slightly.I have tried two different methods but have not yet got satisfactory results out of any of them.

Most promising so far seems to be Buffer plus the LineOnAreaOverlayer.My gripe here is that it creates small gaps,see arrows,where a small piece of a segment that does not actually overlap gets registered as an offender.The red is the outline of my buffer,the greens are coupled lines and the blues are singles.

How can I keep the blue segments intact?All incoming segments have ID's,so maybe there is a way to rebuild them from that?It does feel like a slightly cluttered method that would also problems elsewhere.Some places the trail goes from A to B to A+B and back to B - and so on.

Any ideas on how I could get this to work?

Just as a side note: I began with a AnchoredSnapper in combination with the LineOnLineOverlayer.But is seems the many segments hinder it from getting the precision needed for the overlayer to do its thing.

Hello,

I am making a workbench that closes polygons and add them multiple attributes from shape file.I succeeded to do that but now I am facing a problem because for example I have ~1300 polygons that are area and I am using NeighborFinder to relate it with parcel number and some more names.My problem is that some polygons have multiple information,for example,some parcels have parcel number,name of region,name of municipality and name of river crossing it.All these attributes should be assigned to one parcel number and one polygon but it is not what is happening.
I am attaching screen shots of my problem.

In this picture You can see that for example parcel no 1588 have more attributes then just parcel number but I don't know what reason for it is not being merged.

Hi all,

I'm new to FME and am trying to deal with a datset that has duplicates in.However each duplicate contains some information that I need to preserve into newcolumns.

A simplified version is something like this:

And what I need to end up with is more like this:

It's been suggested to me to use FeatureMerger after multiple DuplicateFilters,but I can't figure out how to bring each set of filtered duplicates back in to a single dataset whilst preserving the data out of the duplicate entries.

Any help,pointers or example workspaces would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,马克

Hi,

I have about 50 feature classes in a geodatabase.In the feature classes,some of the field names are the same but a lot are different.

For example: in one feature class field names are – Sample_ID,Easting_NAD83_UTMz19,Northing_NAD83_UTMz19,Au_INAA_ppb,Ag_INAA_ppm,Fe_ICPMS_ppm,Fe_INAA_ppm,Ca_ICPOES_ppm.

In another feature class,field names are – Sample_ID,Easting_NAD83_UTMz19,Northing_NAD83_UTMz19,Ag_INAA_ppm,Au_ICPMS_ppb,Fe_INAA_ppm.

I want to create a new feature class called "INAA_merged" where every field that contains "_INAA_" will be in it as well as the Sample_ID,Easting/Northing fields.I'd like all the other fields containing for ex: "_ICPMS_" and "_ICPOES_" to be deleted.

So basically I want to merge all the fields together in one feature class that have the same name and delete all the others.

Is this possible?Is there a way to set up conditions for merging – ie to keep certain fields if they contain certain characters and to delete others?

I have a excel sheet that includes a column of road numbers and a column of chainages (eg road distances) I have another spatial database called Road Segments which are lines.They contain attributes ofAssetId,Road numbersand an attribute of 'StartChainage' and one of 'EndChainage'

What I want to achieve is to be able to identify what Road SegmentAssetIdthe chainage from my excel sheet falls on.

I have a client with an interesting request.Basically they have about a dozen shapefiles that consist of points,and all points have 1-4 attachments.What they'd like is to combine the shapefiles into one complete shapefile,and carry over the attachments as well.Unfortunately ESRI doesn't allow you to merge shapefiles,and have the attachments go with it.To further complicate it a bit,all the attachments are labeled the same: photo01,photo02,photo03,or photo04.The naming convention is generic,so simply extracting the photos and reattaching them after merging the shapefiles is out of the question,unless I somehow rename the attachments as I take them off and link them to their proper attributes as they get reattached to the merged file.

I very well could save each attachment and rename it with some kind of naming convention as i download it,but it's repetitive and mind-numbing,and it seems like a perfect candidate for automation.Anyone have any thoughts?I'm relatively new to the platform,but jump in with both feet,eh?

Some FME scripts developed in 2017 version are not working in 2016 version.See the attached zip file for details.It seems like the transformers that are not working in these specific scripts are 'DatabaseJoiner' and 'FeatureMerger'.

What are the alternate solutions ?
