+			The geocoordinates of the origin of the local coordinate system are specified in WG84 latitude, longitude and altitude in the root &lt;COLLADA&gt;&lt;asset&gt;&lt;coverage&gt;
+			block of data. Specify altitude as height above sea level, i.e., &lt;altitude mode="absolute"&gt;.
+			The local coordinates of an object are distances in x (East), y (North), z (Up) from the origin. Apply the projection specified by the ESPG code to convert the origin latitude longitude to
+			the corresponding point in the projection, use that point to map local coordinates to their projection coordinates and then their geocoordinates.</xs:documentation>
