Hi @Abinash Rout, In your CityGML are you able to extract the <!--front surface--> tag? This isn't an area I'm an expert in but wondering if that would help. This documentation would be a good place to start as well.

Thanks for replying but i just want to know if there is any transformer which will help me find direction like weather its facing south, north or south east etc.

Use BoundingBoxReplacer set to 2D Oriented Bunding Box and give a name to the angle attribute.
This will give you the direction of the longest side of the building, not the orientation of a specific facade.
Another method would be to use NeighborFinder with buildings as Base and roads as Candidates and use the _angle attribute to mao orientation.

Just input building footprints and road lines into NeighborFinder and use AttributeRangeMapper or AttributeManager to set geographic direction from angle value. I believe the angle is measured counterclockwise starting from the X axis - 45-135 degrees should mean north. Reading the Help helps NeighborFinder (safe.com)
