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.

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.

@caracadrian pls explain the second method you suggested
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)
@caracadrian pls explain the second method you suggested
