sketchup writer: move to locad coordinate system puts a small rotation in the model

Hi @barzo,

In most coordinate systems, if you are not on the center or reference point for the projection, there is a slight angle between grid north and true north. When FME reprojects the data to a local coordinate system, it applies that rotation, since your model will be at the center of that new projection.

If you do not want to apply the rotation, you can move to a local coordinate system manually:

• Pick a reference point on the model that you want to be the new origin.
• Use a LocalCoordinateSystemSetter to set the new coordinate system. Set the Origin Coordinate System to SWEREF-99-13-30, and the Origin X and Y to the location of the reference point
• We still need to move the data to fir the new coordinate system. Use an Offsetter transformer, with the X Offset and Y Offset set to negative Origin X and negative Origin Y.

The model will now be in a local coordinate system suitable for writing to Sketchup, and you can set the option "Move to Local Coordinate System" set to no.
