Hi @babin_t​,

There seems to be a mismatch between the FME's VRML reader and writer on the model orientation. This results in the coordinate transposition when reading back the VRML file in FME. We are working on correcting this, and will notify you when the fix is available in beta.

Hi @babin_t​,

I'm happy to report that the issue @daveatsafe​ had filed has been addressed and a fix is available in betas to test.

 

A new parameter, Apply Scene Transformation Matrix has been added to the writer. Set it to 'Yes' to apply the scene transformation matrix, and this will change the orientation of the geometry if it is different from the identity matrix. Please let us know how that goes for you!
