SDO_GEOMETRY

The geometry type of an XFM feature is determined dynamically during registration in Bentley Geospatial Administrator. This is done by looking at the Oracle Spatial spatial index defined for the geometry table.

For example, a point spatial index: CREATE INDEX hnod_tugs_idx ON hnod_tugs(Geometry) INDEXTYPE IS MDSYS.SPATIAL_INDEX PARAMETERS ('layer_gtype=point');

Oracle Spatial Index Type

XFM Feature Type

'layer_gtype=point'

Point-Cell or Point-Text depending on user input; can be rotated

'layer_gtype=multipoint'

Point-Cell Collection or Point-Text Collection; cannot be rotated

'layer_gtype=curve'

Linestring

'layer_gtype=multicurve'

Linestring Collection

'layer_gtype=polygon'

Polygon Collection

'layer_gtype=multipolygon'

Polygon Collection

'layer_gtype=collection' or not specified

The first in the table determines geometry type
