GLB is a standardized file format for sharing 3D data used in virtual reality, augmented reality, games, and online applications. GLB files are a binary form of the GL Transmission Format (glTF) file, which employs JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) encoding.
Supporting data such as 3D scenes, models, lighting, materials, and geometry / animation are all stored in a single GLB file, eliminating the need for extra support files to access textures, geometry, shaders, animation, and other types of data required for a 3D view. GLB files are 30% smaller than glTF and its associated files, so they load and process faster.
GLB is compatible with various 3D visualization programs, such as Microsoft Paint 3D, Microsoft Remix 3D, Blender, Trimble 3D Warehouse, SketchUp.
A .rvt file a three-dimensional model created by Autodesk’s Revit. Revit is a building information modeling (BIM) program that is used to create 3D building designs for floor plans, elevations and sections. It offers complete project lifecyle from conceptual design till fabrication and construction.
A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.
