The directives processed by the 3ds reader are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <ReaderKeyword> in a mapping file. By default, the <ReaderKeyword> for the 3ds reader is 3DS.
DATASET
Required/Optional:Required
The value for this directive is the path to the 3ds file.
3DS_DATASET /usr/data/3ds/teapot.3ds
Workbench Parameter:Source Autodesk 3ds Max File(s)
MOVE_TO_WORLD_COORDSYS
If the value is set to Yes, the companion .prj and .fwt files (with the same name as the .3ds file) will be read in order to acquire the coordinate system and the data necessary in order to convert points to the world coordinate system.
Note: In the absence of a companion .fwt file with the same name as the .3ds file, FME will look for a file named global.fwt in the same folder. In the absence of a companion .prj file with the same name as the .3ds file, FME will look for a file named global.prj.
Required/Optional
Optional
Values
Yes | No (default)
Workbench Parameter
Parameter Name
Move to World Coordinate System
Parameter Values
Yes | No (default)
TEXTURE_DIRECTORIES
This directive specifies the folders that the reader will search to find the texture image files referenced by the VRML files being read.
Required/Optional
Optional
Values
Multiple folders
Default: The folder of the file being read.
Workbench Parameter
Texture Directories
SEARCH_ENVELOPE
Using the minimum and maximum x and y parameters, define a bounding box that will be used to filter the input features. Only features that interact with the bounding box are returned.
If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as 0, the search envelope will be disabled.
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE <minX> <minY> <maxX> <maxY>
Note: If all four coordinates of the search envelope are specified as zero, the search envelope will be disabled.
Required/Optional
Optional
Workbench Parameter
Minimum X, Minimum Y, Maximum X, Maximum Y
SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM
This directive specifies the coordinate system of the search envelope if it is different than the coordinate system of the data.
The COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive, which specifies the coordinate system associated with the data to be read, must always be set if the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM directive is set.
If this directive is set, the minimum and maximum points of the search envelope are reprojected from the SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM to the reader COORDINATE_SYSTEM prior to applying the envelope.
Required/Optional
Optional
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_SEARCH_ENVELOPE_COORDINATE_SYSTEM <coordinate system>
Workbench Parameter
Search Envelope Coordinate System
CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE
This directive specifies whether or not FME should clip features to the envelope specified in the SEARCH_ENVELOPE directive.
Values
YES | NO (default)
Mapping File Syntax
<ReaderKeyword>_CLIP_TO_ENVELOPE [yes | no]
Workbench Parameter
Clip To Envelope
