Export OBJ with UTM coordinates

Hi

 

I am looking for a way to export OBJ files with real world coordinates. I work for a company that consumes OBJ files and converts them to other useful data, but the OBJ export does not seem to have an easy way to transform the coordinates back to a geographic reference system from the local. Usually, I have used another process to transform the coordinates back, but recently I encountered an issue where that transformation takes up so much memory that the whole thing crashes. I have seen other software where these options are available during export and it is very useful for implementing in e.g. GIS systems. Of course IFC would be a more appropriate format, but it is a little too detailed sometimes.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.
