PointPropertyExtractor

Extracts point orientation to feature attributes.

Input Ports

ClosedInput

Features with point geometries.

Output Ports

ClosedOutput

Features with newly set attributes based on point orientation. No attributes are added to features containing points with no orientation.

Note: Feature order may change in relation to other output ports. Feature order per port is maintained.

Parameters

Transformer

ClosedOrientation Mode

Specifies the representation to use when extracting point orientation. The following representations are supported:

  • 2D Rotation: Extracts orientation as a rotation around the Z-axis, in degrees CCW from the X-axis.
  • Normal + Spin: Extracts orientation as a unit vector (normal) indicating pitch and yaw, and an angle (spin), in degrees, indicating roll (right hand rule).
  • Axis Angle: Extracts orientation as a rotation, in degrees (right hand rule), around an axis of rotation specified by a unit vector.
  • Azimuth + Altitude: Extracts orientation in degrees CW from the positive Y-axis (azimuth), and degrees from the XY plane (altitude).
  • Matrix: Extracts orientation as a 3x3 rotation matrix.
  • Quaternion: Extracts orientation as a unit quaternion (versor).
  • Euler Angles: Extracts orientation as angles A, B, and Y, representing, in order, rotations around the Z-axis, X’-axis, and Z’’-axis (intrinsic rotations, right-hand rule).
  • Tait Bryan Angles: Extracts orientation as angles yaw, pitch, and roll, representing, in order, rotations around the Z-axis, Y’-axis, and X’’-axis (intrinsic rotations, right-hand rule).

Editing Transformer Parameters

Using a set of menu options, transformer parameters can be assigned by referencing other elements in the workspace. More advanced functions, such as an advanced editor and an arithmetic editor, are also available in some transformers. To access a menu of these options, click beside the applicable parameter. For more information, see Transformer Parameter Menu Options.
