<div>Hi</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Some use cases of Esri "local" projection are arriving to
my desk. This projection works in Esri software, but not in
PROJ (obviously also not in QGIS)<br>
</div>
<br>
<div>One example is this WKT1_ESRI<br>
</div>

PROJCS["Hycroft001",GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983",DATUM["D_North_American_1983",SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]],PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0],UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]],PROJECTION["Local"],PARAMETER["False_Easting",13264.924],PARAMETER["False_Northing",46473.418],PARAMETER["Scale_Factor",1.00025],PARAMETER["Azimuth",15.786],PARAMETER["Longitude_Of_Center",-116.7048269],PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Center",42.88212865],UNIT["Foot_US",0.3048006096012192]]<br>

<div>Looking at their documentation, it seems to be this one:<br>
</div>
<div><a
href="https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/projections/local.htm"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://desktop.arcgis.com/en/arcmap/latest/map/projections/local.htm</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The biggest difference I see with the Orthographic from
PROJ is the Azimut parameter. I have the impression that the
azimut is just a rotation of the axes, but it is not clear
to me in the Snyder book (page 145. If you do not have it,
it is available at <a
href="https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1395"
moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext">https://pubs.er.usgs.gov/publication/pp1395</a>
)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is there are alternative in PROJ?</div>
<div>Does it make sense to add this transformation?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks<br>
