The directives that are processed by the Obj writer are listed below. The suffixes shown are prefixed by the current <WriterKeyword>_ in a mapping file. By default, the <WriterKeyword> for the Obj writer is OBJ.
DATASET
The value for this directive is the path to the output folder. If the output folder does not exist, then the writer will create a new folder.
An output .obj file will be created for each feature type within the specified folder.
For example, if you are writing to feature types named house and barn to dataset c:\data\obj then you will have files c:\data\obj\house.obj and c:\data\obj\barn.obj.
One common mtl file will be created for the writer and shared by all output files. Feature type fanout is supported.
