Getting real world coordinates from Forge model

Is it possible to get the real world coordinates form the original model in the Forge viewer? It looks like when a model is loaded into the Viewer it is placed with the center of the model in the origin of the Viewer.

Afaik, the Forge viewer centres the model. In other words, the origin of the viewer coordinate system is the centroid of the model. The scale of the model remains unchanged. As a result, you can transform the original model coordinates to Forge viewer and vice versa simply by adding or subtracting the model centroid.
