EpsgCode — EPSG code for the coordinate reference system used.

The European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) (www.epsg.org) code, identifies the coordinate reference system of your data. The code is necessary for re-projection and transformation of the data.

ShiftX — Shifts all objects by n meters in the x-direction.

ShiftY — Shifts all objects by n meters in the y-direction.

ShiftZ — Shifts all objects by n meters in the z-direction (height).
