"building-local-placement" in Bonsai
I am using IfcConvert to export OBJ-files to an external tool and uses "building-local-placement" to make sure that the objects end up in the right place and this works fine.
I would now like to use Bonsai instead and wonder how I could to something similar in Blender. The options would be during import, after import or adding this into my custom export script. Any suggestions would be great.

Bonsai doesn't import or export, it loads everything natively and doesn't translate any coordinates. It's smart enough to detect false origins, calculate georeferencing, and automatically setup session-specific temporary offsets and rotations, and will preserve this with any edits.
My problem is that the software I am exporting to is not as clever so I need to find a way to syncronize the exported OBJ-files from Blender with the other tools internal IFC import. Therefore I need a way to edit the geoemtries in Blender before export or during the export script.
If you want to edit the coordinates of a while, the best way is to use the SetFalseOrigin recipe. See https://docs.ifcopenshell.org/autoapi/ifcpatch/recipes/SetFalseOrigin/index.html
