Hi I found a "strange" behaviour about EPSG, ESRI and nadcon5, that I do not know if we are aware of.
Running the next command PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./projinfo -s EPSG:4269 -t EPSG:6318 --3d -o proj --spatial-test intersects I get in PROJ 9.4.1 Candidate operations found: 5 ------------------------------------- Operation No. 1: DERIVED_FROM(EPSG):8971, NAD83 to NAD83(2011) (1), 1.0 m, United States (USA) - offshore Gulf of Mexico outer continental shelf (GoM OCS) - protraction areas South Padre Island; North Padre Island; Mustan g Island; Matagorda Island; Brazos; Galveston; High Island; Sabine Pass; West Cameron; East Cameron; Vermilion; South Marsh Island; Eugene Island; Ship Shoal; South Pelto; Bay Marchand; South Timbalier; G rand Isle; West Delta; South Pass; Main Pass; Breton Sound; Chandeleur; Corpus Christi; Port Isabel; East Breaks; Alaminos Canyon; Garden Banks; Keathley Canyon; Sigsbee Escarpment; Ewing Bank; Green Cany on; Walker Ridge; Amery Terrace; Mobile; Viosca Knoll; Mississippi Canyon; Atwater Valley; Lund; Lund South; Pensacola; Destin Dome; De Soto Canyon; Lloyd Ridge; Henderson; Florida Plain; Campeche Escarpm ent; Apalachicola; Florida Middle Ground; The Elbow; Vernon Basin; Howell Hook; Rankin; Gainesville; Tarpon Springs; St Petersburg; Charlotte Harbor; Pulley Ridge; Dry Tortugas; Tortugas Valley; Miami; Key West.

Based on the names in the operation description, this seems to be from ESRI. The first from EPSG appears at position 8. If I try to do actual transformations, this is what I get with PROJ 9.4.1 $ echo "40 -100" | PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./cs2cs EPSG:4269 EPSG:6343 -d 6 --3d 414639.611409 4428235.937716 -0.004468 $ echo "40 -100" | PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./cs2cs EPSG:4269 EPSG:6318 -d 6 --3d 39.999999 -99.999999 -0.004468 $ echo "40 -100" | PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./cs2cs EPSG:4269 EPSG:6318 -d 6 --3d | ./cs2cs EPSG:6318 EPSG:6343 -d 6 --3d 414639.622273 4428235.952568 -0.004468 And this with PROJ 9.5.0 $ echo "40 -100" | PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./cs2cs EPSG:4269 EPSG:6343 -d 6 --3d 414639.611409 4428235.937716 -0.004468 $ echo "40 -100" | PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./cs2cs EPSG:4269 EPSG:6318 -d 6 --3d 40.000000 -100.000000 0.000000 $ echo "40 -100" | PROJ_NETWORK=ON ./cs2cs EPSG:4269 EPSG:6318 -d 6 --3d | ./cs2cs EPSG:6318 EPSG:6343 -d 6 --3d 414639.538157 4428236.064519 0.000000 What is the reason exactly? Is that expected? Thanks Javier
