#   project X = UTM easting - 376515.389 (east +)
#   project Y = -(UTM northing - 3774224.083)  in Unreal, because the FBX preset
#   maps Blender +Y (north) to Unreal -Y and Blender +X to Unreal +X. The building
#   line of the hero block sits at Unreal Y = -1450 cm (14.5 m south of the road
#   centreline, from the street profile), and the hero's east edge at
#   X = -12024.5 cm (projected control point in local-origin.md).
