Hi all,
I wounder if anyone has a typical use case of the custom CoordinateSystemConvergenceCalculator ?

Basically my goal is to see if this transformer could handle the issue in Sketchup with the green axis versus the TrueNorth axis when geo-locating a model as discussed in this forum:

Thanks!
Hi @kidega,
I think that would be a great use for the transformer!
I am attaching a workspace that should automatically adjust the Sketchup file to align the original green axis to true north. Please give it a try to see if it work as expected.

Hi @daveatsafe,
Thanks alot for a possible workflow solution! I'll give it a try and see if it works.
Many thanks!

Hi @daveatsafe,
In first test this works perfect! Rotation is accurate. Many thanks!

Hi @daveatsafe,
I have continued to use your custom workspace above and it has worked very fine. What I am doing now is reading a .kmz file and calculate the rotation which is all good. The problem I have is to write it back to .kmz with a working 3D model when importing to Sketchup. Not sure if it would work to write to sketchup direct as well? In the writer I have set Coordinate system to WGS84.
The source .kmz has coordinate labeled:
CS_NAME: KML COORDSYS 0
DT_NAME: WGS84
So when I compare the readmodel.kmz and WritedModel.kmz, I noticed a difference in Min and Max Extents for x and y values.
Thanks!

Hi @kidega,
I would recommend writing directly to Sketchup instead of KMZ. This way the Sketchup output is completely under FME's control. FME will write the appropriate georeferencing to the Sketchup file.

Hi @daveatsafe,
Thanks, writing to Sketchup worked just fine!

Hi @daveatsafe,
Just by curiosity.. does your workspace of aligning original green axis to true north, work by rotating each feature's center point, that enters?

Hi @kidega,
The workspace rotates each feature around 0,0,0.

Hi @daveatsafe,
Ok thanks for your answer.
