Hi, I have some data placed in around 0,0 in EPSG:3857 -- WGS84 Web Mercator (Auxiliary Sphere)

I would like to move that to Vietnam, which means an offset on:

imageBy doing this process, the data scales down in size, around 4 to 5 meters.

I would expect this to be due the long travel distance, but I really don't understand why, which also doesn't matter for me, but I would like to know if anyone knows how to fix this? Maybe if the data wasn't in 0,0 but closer to the actual place, it wouldn't change the size, so maybe there are some tricks to do this.

 

I created another question which is the same, but I think people skip it, since I'm talking about an OBJ to a new location, so I tested on a File geodatabase, and it's the exact same thing, so it's not an OBJ issue. I actually think it could be easier to trick the OBJ to think it is already in Vietnam, since it don't have any coordinate system, but I have no idea.

 

Thanks.

Hi @kelin84​ ,

How large is the original size of the OBJ feature before moved with Offsetter?

Insert a GeographicAreaCalculator before and after the Offsetter to verify that it's not simply the projection that's giving a false impression.
