PointCloudComponentCopier

Copies selected component values onto either a new or existing component.

Jump to Configuration

Typical Uses

  • Creating copies of components and their values to meet processing requirements
  • Creating backup copies of values before manipulating them

How does it work?

The PointCloudComponentCopier receives point cloud features, copies specified components and their values onto new or existing components, then outputs the modified point cloud feature.

The Source Component remains intact, and the Target Component will be created (if new) or have its values overwritten (if existing).

Multiple components may be copied.

Choosing a Point Cloud Transformer

FME has a selection of transformers for working specifically with point cloud data.

For information on point cloud geometry and properties, see Point Clouds (IFMEPointCloud).

Parameters

Editing Transformer Parameters

Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.

Defining Values

There are several ways to define a value for use in a Transformer. The simplest is to simply type in a value or string, which can include functions of various types such as attribute references, math and string functions, and workspace parameters. There are a number of tools and shortcuts that can assist in constructing values, generally available from the drop-down context menu adjacent to the value field.

Dialog Options - Tables

Transformers with table-style parameters have additional tools for populating and manipulating values.
