Feature Class to KML the Old Way, Before FME…
! Several different applications were used to get from A (feature class) to B (KML)
! KML files were manually edited in a text editor to achieve desired styling
! A time consuming process, every time ! So many steps made it inevitable to miss one
Feature Class to KML the New Way, Using FME…
! Just one application to get from A to B ! No manual editing of files post creation ! Time spent on developing a workspace, then just
press a button when the data needs updating ! Workflow automation minimizes errors
Project Example: Create a spatial database of Surveyed overhead signs for Caltrans District 4 and publish the information in KML/KMZ format to the web
Project Workflow
! A python script organizes the workflow, calling arcpy and other custom functions to format and geoprocess the tabular surveyed data ! The python script runs the FME workspace that
builds out the KMZ using fmeobjects and the FMEWorkspaceRunner class
! The script uploads the final KMZ to the web via pysftp
