Importing Extended Reality Files

You can import the extended reality file types .glTF and .GLB.

To import extended reality files:

  1. Click File > Open.
  2. In the dialog box, for Files of Type, select Extended Reality (.*GLTF and .GLB).
  3. Browse to select a file and click Open.

Importing glTF™ and GLB files includes:

  • Geometry hierarchy such as parts, assemblies, and subassemblies
  • Draco™ compression
    This is a compression option for large-sized files. You do not specify any options on import. The file owner specifies the Draco compression on export of the glTF or GLB files from the source software.
  • Noneditable textures. The software imports textures but not as proper SOLIDWORKS appearances.
