 The shape is 1 units wide in X, 2 units tall in Y, 4 units long in Z. Four vertices in total. The center between the two vertices on X is the origin; the vertex on Z marks the forward direction; the vertex on Y marks the up direction.
 The exported object names are ready and the forward and up directions are calculated from the marker dimensions. Thus, we don't need to worry about mesh rotations; we can deduce mesh rotation from the marker.

 In order to automatically create turret mounts, gun mounts, and engine thrusters placements in units.csv, please use the following marker:

 It is advisable to group the marker objects into a group called "marker". You are required to export all the markers into one obj file that needs to contain the name "marker" in it (letter case is unimportant, it can be "marker", or "Marker").
