Using FME with 12d Model

I caught up with our co-founder and Managing Director, Dr Lee Gregory, to chat about Using FME with 12d Model.

12d Model has a very rich data set and attribute structure which is not supported by most file transfer formats.

This usually means that only a portion of the 12d Model data can be transferred, and different decisions need to be made depending on what the output format can support. And even worse, accuracy of survey and design data can be compromised.

The best solution is to provide clients with a 12dXML file that contains ALL the accurate data and attributes, allowing the client to decide how they want to manipulate the data for their various applications.

But how can this be done?

One solution is for the client to use FME.

FME, from Safe Software, reads in 12dXML files, can manipulate the inputted data, and write the manipulated data out in hundreds of different formats.

This video looks at what 12d Model data and attributes can be handled by FME.
