SU.1125 BimCraft: export the model as Collada (.dae) for Blender and Google Earth

Asked (#1125, Oct 29): export a BIM model to Collada (.dae) for rendering in Blender and viewing in Google Earth.

ModelCraft already writes and reads Collada 1.4.1 (io.js exportDAE / importDAE). Do: reuse that writer from BimCraft (elements as nodes with materials, metres, Z up), optional geolocation block for Google Earth, and a test that Blender reads it.

**Implementation started 2026-11-02** (0.9 pick #9, second five, hardest first; session `bim-dae-09`, log docs/0.9-sessions/bim-dae-09.md). Status moves to Partly built or Built only when the code is reachable and tested (rule 49).

Waits on: Owner: open a .kmz in Google Earth Pro and the .dae in Blender 4.x (neither installed here)
