Orientation of Forge viewable generated on Design Automation in Forge Viewer not matching orientation in Inventor

I'm exporting SVFs from a model using the design automation API. With some models, the orientation in the Viewer of the viewable does not match the orientation in Inventor. enter image description here

In the viewer vs in Inventor

How do I correct this so that all models come out with their Viewer orientation matching the input Inventor model? The following code is where the SVF is exported. A blog post on this functionality would be helpful.

private string SaveForgeViewable(Inventor.Document doc) {
    string viewableOutputDir = null;
    using(new HeartBeat()) {
        //LogTrace($"** Saving SVF");
        try {
            TranslatorAddIn oAddin = null;

            foreach(ApplicationAddIn item in inventorApplication.ApplicationAddIns) {

                if (item.ClassIdString == "{C200B99B-B7DD-4114-A5E9-6557AB5ED8EC}") {
                    //Trace.TraceInformation("SVF Translator addin is available");
                    oAddin = (TranslatorAddIn) item;
                    break;
                }
                else {}
            }

            if (oAddin != null) {
                //Trace.TraceInformation("SVF Translator addin is available");
                TranslationContext oContext = inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateTranslationContext();
                // Setting context type
                oContext.Type = IOMechanismEnum.kFileBrowseIOMechanism;

                NameValueMap oOptions = inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap();
                // Create data medium;
                DataMedium oData = inventorApplication.TransientObjects.CreateDataMedium();

                Trace.TraceInformation("SVF save");
                var workingDir = Path.GetDirectoryName(doc.FullFileName);
                var sessionDir = Path.Combine(workingDir, "SvfOutput");

                // Make sure we delete any old contents that may be in the output directory first,
                // this is for local debugging. In DA4I the working directory is always clean
                if (Directory.Exists(sessionDir)) {
                    Directory.Delete(sessionDir, true);
                }

                oData.FileName = Path.Combine(sessionDir, "result.collaboration");
                var outputDir = Path.Combine(sessionDir, "output");
                var bubbleFileOriginal = Path.Combine(outputDir, "bubble.json");
                var bubbleFileNew = Path.Combine(sessionDir, "bubble.json");

                // Setup SVF options
                if (oAddin.get_HasSaveCopyAsOptions(doc, oContext, oOptions)) {
                    oOptions.set_Value("GeometryType", 1);
                    oOptions.set_Value("EnableExpressTranslation", true);
                    oOptions.set_Value("SVFFileOutputDir", sessionDir);
                    oOptions.set_Value("ExportFileProperties", false);
                    oOptions.set_Value("ObfuscateLabels", true);
                }

                oAddin.SaveCopyAs(doc, oContext, oOptions, oData);
                LogTrace($ "** Saved SVF as {oData.FileName}");
                File.Move(bubbleFileOriginal, bubbleFileNew);
                viewableOutputDir = sessionDir;
            }
        }
        catch(Exception e) {
            LogError($ "********Export to format SVF failed: {e.Message}");
            return null;
        }
    }
    return viewableOutputDir;
}

we have met this issue too, this is our setup of SVF output which respects the ground of your design:

oOptions.set_Value("EnableExpressTranslation", false);
oOptions.set_Value("ExportFileProperties", true);
oOptions.set_Value("ObfuscateLabels", false);

For full code you can see our new sample app repository https://github.com/Developer-Autodesk/forge-configurator-inventor/blob/master/AppBundles/CreateSVFPlugin/CreateSvfAutomation.cs#L96
