Feature Representation
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 described in this section.
All COLLADA features contain a collada_type attribute, which identifies the geometric type. The value of this attribute will usually be collada_surface. In the rare case the model does not actually contain any geometry, the value of this attribute will be collada_no_geom.
The following attributes are generated from the top-level <asset> element in the .dae file. The sub-attributes of the collada_contributor list attribute are taken from the contents of each of the <contributor> elements within the <asset> element.
The descriptions in the following table are taken from the COLLADA 1.4.1 specifications.
Attribute Name |
Contents |
collada_created |
Contains the date and time that the model was created. Represented in an ISO 8601 format as per the XML Schema dateTime primitive type. |
collada_modified |
Contains the date and time that the model was last modified. Represented in an ISO 8601 format as per the XML Schema dateTime primitive type. |
collada_keywords |
Contains a list of words used as a search criteria for the model. |
collada_revision |
Contains revision information for the model. |
collada_subject |
Contains a description of the topical subject of the model. |
collada_title |
Contains title information for the model. |
collada_up_axis |
Contains descriptive information about the coordinate system of the geometric data. All coordinates are right-handed by definition. Valid values are X_UP, Y_UP, or Z_UP. |
collada_unit_name |
The name of the distance unit. For example, "meter", "centimeter", "inches", or "parsec". This can be the real name of a measurement, or an imaginary name. |
collada_unit_meter_length |
How many real-world meters in one distance unit as a floating-point number. For example, 1.0 for the name "meter"; 1000 for the name "kilometer"; 0.3048 for the name "foot". |
