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

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

As far as I know Archicad can not open these files.
You will have to convert them to a format that Archicad can open.

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.

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