💡 AI App Starter Prompt

Use this prompt to build a project with alobj2shp
Create a mini-application named 'BuildingFootprintConverter' using the Python package 'alobj2shp'. This application will serve as a user-friendly tool for converting 3D building models stored in OBJ format into geographic data formats such as GeoPackage (GPKG) or Shapefile (SHP). The application should be designed to handle multiple input files and allow users to specify output file types and locations.

Steps to follow:
1. Install necessary packages including 'alobj2shp', 'geopandas', and 'numpy'.
2. Develop a function that reads OBJ files and extracts building footprints.
3. Implement a feature to convert these footprints into GeoDataFrame objects.
4. Add functionality to export GeoDataFrame objects into either GPKG or SHP formats based on user choice.
5. Create a simple GUI using Tkinter that allows users to select input OBJ files, choose output file type and location, and initiate the conversion process.
6. Ensure error handling for file reading/writing operations and provide informative messages to the user.
7. Include a help menu within the GUI explaining the purpose of the application and basic usage instructions.
8. Test the application with various OBJ files representing different buildings to ensure accuracy and reliability of conversions.

Suggested Features:
- Support for batch processing of multiple OBJ files at once.
- Option to save output files in both GPKG and SHP formats simultaneously.
- Provide progress indicators during file conversions.
- Allow customization of CRS (Coordinate Reference System) for output files.
