The 12d Model XML Reader allows FME to read 12d XML (Extensible Markup Language) documents.
12d XML is an XML-based text file format created by 12d Solutions to store string data from 12d Model. This document assumes that the reader has a good understanding of the 12d XML format.
For more information on the 12d XML format, please see the 12d® Model website.

Writer Overview
The 12d Model XML writer produces a .12dxml file containing the feature types in the workspace.
Writer Geometry
If a 12d Model XML reader is used for data input in the workspace, a metadata and model feature type will have been created automatically. The metadata and model feature types output metadata and model elements, respectively, to the output 12dxml file. In addition, supported feature types read from a 12d Model XML reader will be written and stored in the same structure if possible, under the respective models. If using any other readers, a model will be created for each feature type in the workspace.
Current FME support for 12d XML model elements for writing is limited to the following:
- string_super
- string_drainage
- trimesh
- tin
