FME Transformers
Symbol Reference

Transformers with this symbol are new in this version of FME.

Transformers with this symbol are downloadable from FME Hub.

Name Summary

Replaces or creates feature geometry with a 2D arc as

2DArcReplacer defined in parameters for center point, radii, angles,
and rotation.

Replaces the geometry of the feature with a two-

dimensional box whose minima and maxima are fixed
2DBoxReplacer
values, or are taken from attributes in the original
feature.

Replaces the geometry of the feature with a two-

2DEllipseReplacer dimensional ellipse whose shape is set by the
parameters, values or the values of existing attributes.

2DForcer Removes z coordinates from features.

Replaces the input features with a grid of two-

dimensional point or polygon features having the
2DGridAccumulator
spacing specified covering (at least) the bounding box
area of all the features which enter the transformer.

Creates a grid of two-dimensional point or polygon

features, at the origin and using the offsets specified.
2DGridCreator
Each created feature will have a row and column
attribute that indicates its position in the grid.

Performs a 3D affine transformation (such as offset,

3DAffiner
rotate, or scale) on the coordinates of the feature.

31█|█FME Transformers
 Name Summary

Replaces the geometry of the feature with a three-

dimensional arc whose shape is set by the parameters,
3DArcReplacer
which can be either constant floating point values or
the values of existing attributes.

Adds z coordinates to features, creating or modifying

3DForcer
3D geometry.

Interpolates elevation values along a non-aggregated

3DInterpolator
linear feature from a starting value to an ending value.

Rotates features according to the right hand rule, and

3DRotator in a counter-clockwise direction about the specified
axis of rotation.

Performs an affine transformation (such as offset,

Affiner
rotate, or scale) on the coordinates of the feature.

Performs warping operations on the spatial coordinates

of features. It is used to adjust a set of observed input
AffineWarper
features according to a spatial transform defined by a
set of control vectors.

Routes features differently depending on if their

AggregateFilter geometry consists of an aggregate of several
geometries, or if it is a simple, single piece geometry.

Combines feature geometries into heterogeneous or

Aggregator homogeneous aggregates. Alternatively, combines
feature attributes without any geometry.

Accesses Amazon’s Athena service to run queries on S3

AmazonAthenaConnector
datasets.

FME Transformers█| █32

 Name Summary

Brings lines, segments, end points or vertex points of

AnchoredSnapper features together if they are within a certain distance of
each other, where one set of features is non-moving.

Converts angles of a feature's geometry and/or

AngleConverter
attributes from one representation to another.

Calculates the "angularity" of a linear or area feature.

Angularity indicates the degree of curvature of a
AngularityCalculator
feature. The higher the value, the more curved its
geometry.

Extracts appearance style(s) from the front and/or back

AppearanceExtractor
side of the geometries.

Sets the front and/or back appearance style(s) of

AppearanceMerger specified geometries to be identical to a specific source
geometry.

Removes appearances from the front and/or back side

AppearanceRemover
of geometries.

Sets appearance style(s) onto the front and/or back

AppearanceSetter
sides of geometries.

Creates an appearance style that can later be applied

AppearanceStyler
to a surface

Replaces the geometry of the feature with a two-

dimensional circular arc whose shape is estimated from
ArcEstimator
the first, middle, and last point of the linear feature
passed in.

Simulates the Geodatabase conversion on a feature by

ArcGISGridSnapper snapping its vertices to a grid based on the associated
feature class' storage resolution and origin.

33█|█FME Transformers
 Name Summary

Accesses Esri ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS to

upload, manage, update, download, delete, publish,
ArcGISOnlineConnector
share, or list information about items from an Esri
ArcGIS account.

Sets the given attributes to the properties of an arc

ArcPropertyExtractor
geometry.

Sets the properties of an arc geometry to those

ArcPropertySetter
specified.

Converts arc features into lines replacing the feature

geometry with a series of edges interpolated along the
ArcStroker arc boundary. Ellipse features are converted into
polygons by interpolating edges along the elliptical
boundary.

Generalizes polygonal input by connecting nearby

AreaAmalgamator
geometries.

Takes a set of topologically connected linework and

AreaBuilder creates topologically correct polygon features where
the linework forms closed shapes.

Calculates the area of a polygonal object and stores the

AreaCalculator
value in an attribute.

Repairs area topologies by resolving gaps and overlaps

AreaGapAndOverlapCleaner
between adjacent areas.

Performs an area-on-area overlay (intersection of

polygons) so that all input areas are intersected against
AreaOnAreaOverlayer each other and resultant area features are created and
output. The resultant areas can accumulate attribute
from any overlapping polygons.

FME Transformers█| █34

 Name Summary

Compresses and (optionally) encrypts the values of the

specified attributes. The compressed and encrypted
AttributeCompressor
attribute values can be decompressed and decrypted
using the AttributeDecompressor.

Copies existing attributes to new attributes with user-

specified names. The existing attribute remains intact
AttributeCopier
and a new attribute is created that has a different
name, but the same values.

Adds one or more attributes to features, optionally

AttributeCreator assigning values. Values may reference adjacent
features.

Decompresses and decrypts the values of the specified

AttributeDecompressor attributes that were compressed by the
AttributeCompressor.

Sets an attribute value by following a reference from

one attribute to another, where the first attribute
AttributeDereferencer contains the name of the desired (second) attribute.
The referenced value is retrieved and assigned to a new
attribute.

Encodes the values of the specified attributes to the

AttributeEncoder
desired encoding.

Creates value pairs (attribute name and attribute value)

for every attribute on a feature, and either adds them
AttributeExploder
to a list attribute or creates new features (one for each
pair) with new attributes containing both values.

Exposes attributes so they can be accessed by

AttributeExposer
downstream transformers and writers.

35█|█FME Transformers
 Name Summary

Reads the contents of an external text or binary file and

AttributeFileReader
attaches it to a feature as the value of an attribute.

Writes the contents of an attribute to a text or binary

AttributeFileWriter
