Importing 3D Files

1. 1. Export as gltf File from your 3D application

Autodesk

To convert an Autodesk file to GLTF, you will need to use a 3D modeling program that supports exporting to GLTF format. There are many 3D modeling programs available, and the specific steps for exporting to GLTF will vary depending on which program you use. Some popular programs that support exporting to GLTF include Blender, 3DS Max, and Maya.

Here are the general steps for exporting a 3D model to GLTF using Blender:

1. Open the Autodesk file in Blender by going to File > Import > Autodesk FBX (.fbx).

2. Once the model is imported, go to File > Export > glTF 2.0 (.glb/.gltf).

3. In the export options, select the desired export settings. For example, you can choose to export only the selected objects, or you can choose to include materials and textures in the export.

4. Click the Export button to export the model to GLTF format.
   

Keep in mind that the specific steps for exporting to GLTF may vary depending on the 3D modeling program you are using. If you have any trouble exporting your Autodesk file to GLTF, you may want to consult the documentation or support resources for the program you are using.

Solidworks

To export GLTF files from SolidWorks, you will need to use a plugin or add-on that adds GLTF export support to the program. There are several plugins available that can add this functionality to SolidWorks, including the Export to GLTF add-in from 3YOURMIND.

Here are the general steps for exporting a 3D model to GLTF using the Export to GLTF add-in:

1. Install the Export to GLTF add-in by downloading it from the 3YOURMIND website and following the installation instructions.

2. Open the SolidWorks model that you want to export to GLTF.

3. In the SolidWorks menu, go to Add-Ins > Export to GLTF.

4. In the Export to GLTF dialog box, select the desired export options, such as the output file format and whether to include materials and textures.

5. Click the Export button to export the model to GLTF format.

Keep in mind that the specific steps for exporting to GLTF using the Export to GLTF add-in may vary depending on the version of SolidWorks you are using and the specific settings you choose. If you have any trouble exporting your model to GLTF, you may want to consult the documentation or support resources for the Export to GLTF add-in.

Import via The Helper Menu

After you have exported your gltf file from your 3D application you can import it via the helper menu.
Select the entry from the menu, upload your file via the file dialog and then select it.
