To include option in Export 3D Objects tool to change the orientation when exporting to OBJ format

[nkiabee]

ArcGIS Pro's Export 3D Objects tool exports to wavefront .OBJ format in "incorrect orientation". This is because ArcGIS Pro uses a Z-up coordinate system, while .obj format typically follows a Y-up convention. It will be nice if this tool provides an option to allow the exported .obj format to be in the correct orientation.

GIS is Z-up oriented, so it makes sense to use this option as the default. But I agree that the option to switch to the (also very common) Y-up orientation would be nice (for the non-GIS people). Especially since the implementation would be very simple – just switch the order of the coordinates and that's it.

So I agree this should be part of the GP tool in Pro 🙂
