I created a clip and downloaded in 3D tiles format. Is the global geographic coordinates (latitude/longitude/altitude) info embedded in 3D tiles or the encompassing .glb files?

For example, when we go to google maps and right click anywhere on the map, it gives an option to copy lati/long. So it seems the world coordinates are embedded. So does 3D tiles have such a thing where if I were to create a renderer and hover my mouse over the 3D model of a mountain, it would also give me a chance to render lati/long?

Thanks
