How can I import object models in the *.glb file format into Archicad?

[Funfun Yan]

A friend sent me some AI-generated 3D furniture models in the *.glb format. How can I use them in Archicad? Thank you!

Operating system used: Windows 6010

As far as I know Archicad can not open these files.

You will have to convert them to a format that Archicad can open.

you can find free online .glb file converters: https://convert3d.org/glb-to-fbx

export to .fbx

Blender 2.8 and later, which is free, can also import *.glb files and export them as *.fbx:

Thank you , I tried the web. but the converted model import into archicad, the texture is odd. I'll try again later.

Check in Blender, or what ever program you are using to convert, if there is an option to define faces as two sided. That is what the artifacts make me think of anyway.

Blender works fine! Thank you.

Do note, that the detail of that chair looks like it will murder your files poly count...

Thank you for the reminder. I will be careful and try to have as few of these types of objects as possible.

Greeetings — could you explain, step by step, how you imported it into Archicad? My model always FBX model imports without its textures.  I open a GBL file in Blender and it´s ok, but then I export to FBX and open in archicad and come without textures.
