Hi Javier,

Do you try to transform from that coumpound of bound to  MGI 3D ? If so,that's probably a limitation in the current implementation of CoordinateOperationFactory::Private::createOperationsCompoundToGeog(). Around line 6026 of coordinateoperationfactory.cpp, there's a case that deal with a similar beast but only if transforming to "another CRS whose datum is not the same as the horizontal datum of the source".  That might be "just" a matter of tweaking that code to remove that restriction. Or something else :-)

Hi

I want to create a WKT2 to define a CRS with some specific conditions.
For context, it is a horizontal (translation, rotation and scale) and vertical (offset and slope) transformation over a Gauß-Krugger over MGI, but MGI is defined by the Helmert transformation, and not by the grid file.

To ensure that the Helmert transformation is done, I am creating a BOUNDCRS with those parameters. Inside the SOURCECRS I made a Compound with a derived projected and a derived vertical. That would allow me to include a proj pipeline with the horizontal correction, and use the derived vertical (using the Ellipsoid datum) to apply a vertical offset and slope.

Not a small WKT2, but doable. I just have to copy the parameters I have in a json in the proper places, and it should work. But no, the vertical offset and slope is not applied.

Do you know why?

Ok, I thought that I can add the vertical component inside the derivingconversion of the baseprojcrs. If I add "+step +proj=affine +zoff=0.55429" it works fine. But I need to add an slope, something like "+step +proj=vertoffset +lat_0=48 +lon_0=12 +dh=0.55429 +slope_lat=1.234 +slope_lon=0.234" But no. vertoffset works over a geodetic system, and the deriving conversion output is a cartersian projected system.

In other examples have seen that the vertoffset pipeline is applied before the projection. How can I do it? Any idea why is it failing and how can I work it around?

I can supply some WKT2s with my trials. They are big.

Thank you
Javier

PS If you reached here, I have a present for you: in vscode or vscodium, you can format a WKT with "ini" format. The brackets are colored, and it makes easier to detect mistakes.
