The above is simple but if you want L3P global coodinates from X,Y,Z coordinates
then that's a little more complicated. The zero radius of the L3P global
coordinates is determined by the bounding boxes of the parts in the model and
the center of the L3P globe is not neccesarily the origin.
Lars give a brief discussion on the L3P website:

| (...) hi kevin, I'd like to have it both ways. I provide x,y,z and get lat,long+distance from origin (and yes, the center of the globe is at the LDraw origin) and vice versa. I need this to render backgrounds in bryce using the same camera position (...) (20 years ago, 17-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad)
