Hello,
I can't find anywhere in the Help what "Orient Polygons" means? It's one of the parameters of MS SQL Spatial Writer.
Thanks

You should be able to read from here https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/mssql_spatial/Writer_Directives.htm?Highlight=orient%20polygons
ORIENT_POLYGONSRequired/Optional: Optional
When writing geography (geodetic) data, polygons must be oriented according to the left-hand rule: outer boundaries must be counter-clockwise and inner boundaries must be clockwise. If this directive is set to “NO”, FME will not automatically reorient polygons. You may wish to disable this feature if your input polygons are known to have correct orientation. Note that FME determines polygon orientation by projecting features onto a plane which does not wrap around the earth’s poles or 180 degree meridian and does not take into account the curvature of the earth. Therefore, FME may (re)orientpolygons incorrectly in some cases.
ParameterContents<reorient_polygons>“YES” or “NO”Default: YES
Example:
MSSQL_SPATIAL_ORIENT_POLYGONS YES
The Mapping File Directives sections should now only include
Directive name
Optional/Required
Values (including default)
