This post provides tips and tricks to illustrate how to restructure (or reorganize) spatial data in FME. It’s straight from our basic FME training course, and good information for any new user.
New transformers, readers and writers are all very well, but to get full use out of them requires a framework that is intuitive and easy to use. So here I highlight an array of FME2010 Workbench GUI improvements - features both great and small - that help support the core activities of FME.
A week after FME2010 was launched, let’s look at some of the new transformers in that release, and look at some useful examples: from transit network density to XML metadata templates.
This post is on the subject of city models and how to bring together CAD, GIS, BIM, DEM, raster and other types of spatial data to create a single model. This example includes 3D buildings, DEM draping, rasterization, reprojection, and writing out to PDF - and all in just 13 transformers!
Oh what a tangled web you weave, when first you practice to use the SchemaMapper. Hopefully this post will unpick some of the more tangled issues when you dive into mapping Feature Types and Attributes with multiple where clauses from the same lookup tables, or when using it to set attribute values like a dynamic ValueMapper transformer.
