Export using the name in the plan
This one might be relatively easy to implement (I hope):
When exporting a selection of objects name the g groups as named in the plan instead of the original object name. Preferably optional but set as the default.

For example a box when exported has 6 g lines like top_1, left_2, etc. Since the mtl reference (usemtl line) already identifies each side the g name is useless. What IS useful is naming the 6 sides using the name in the plan. Without changing a new box that would result in 6 lines like box_1, box_2, etc, each followed by the usemtl line for that side. Using this type of naming would allow a group of multiple boxes to be identified individually in the OBJ file by their g lines according to the names you assigned to each box. Currently 3 boxes in an export generates lines with top_, left_, etc. in triple no matter what names the boxes have in the plan. This can make it very difficult to distinguish one from the other when editing a large obj file. By using the name in the plan you can decide yourself if you want identical names or not.
