Attributes
In addition to the generic FME feature attributes that FME Workbench adds to all features (see About Feature Attributes), this format adds the format-specific attributes and attribute types described in this section.
CityGML Attribute Types
CityGML provides the usual assortment of attribute types, usually prefixed with either citygml_ or xml_. One type that is particularly interesting to users of the CityGML Writer is the xml_xml type.
A string attribute that is set to this type will not be encoded when written into the XML document. One place that this is very useful is when writing elements of type xalAddress or other places where you wish to provide a back door into the document and insert an xml fragment directly into the document.
XML Type
The geometry of the CityGML feature may be identified by its xml_type attribute. The valid values for this attribute are:
xml_type |
Description |
xml_no_geom |
FME Feature with no geometry. |
xml_point |
Point feature. |
xml_line |
Linear feature. |
xml_surface |
Surface feature, may contain gaps. |
xml_solid |
Solid feature, may contain voids. |
xml_aggregate |
A possibly heterogeneous collection of geometries. |
No Geometry
xml_type: xml_no_geom
Features having their xml_type set to xml_no_geom do not contain any geometry data.
Point
xml_type: xml_point
Features having their xml_type set to xml_point are single coordinate features or aggregates of single coordinate features.
Line
xml_type: xml_line
Features having their xml_type set to xml_line are polyline features and have at least two coordinates or aggregates of polyline features.
Surface
xml_type: xml_surface
Features having their xml_type set to xml_surface are surfaces. They may be simple, topologically contiguous surfaces or aggregates of surface features.
Collection
xml_type: xml_aggregate
Features having their xml_type set to xml_aggregate are complex geometries. Each component of an aggregate may be any of the types listed in this section, including xml_aggregate (i.e. an aggregate may contain aggregate components).
CityGML-Specific Attributes
Other attributes depend on the feature type. Common and feature-specific attributes are as follows.
