Batch conversion
Point Batch Export at an input folder and an output folder. It walks every
.sldprt and .sldasm underneath and writes one file per model in the format you pick.
- Your open documents are protected: the batch never closes or saves a file you had open.
- A per-file log tells you exactly what converted, what was skipped and why.
- Included in the base license — not a separate tier, not an add-on.
Fidelity
Appearance hierarchy
Assembly component overrides → face → body → part, resolved exactly the way SOLIDWORKS displays them.
Metal detection
Appearances and engineering materials (“AISI 304”, brushed steel…) map to metallic PBR with sensible roughness.
Correct color
sRGB → linear conversion so colors match, transparency via alpha blend, double-sided surface bodies.
Geometry & size
- True instancing for assemblies — one mesh, N nodes — plus per-material primitives, so no draw-call explosion.
- Fine/standard tessellation, welded vertices, CCW-corrected winding, smooth normals.
- Center-at-origin option and part metadata (
asset.extras) for automatic labeling in web viewers.
Licensing that respects you
- 2 machines per license; deactivate anytime from your account page.
- Reinstalling SOLIDWORKS or GLB Expert re-activates automatically — no wasted seats, no support tickets.
- Works offline for 30 days between silent checks, with a friendly reminder after 7. Air-gapped machines use offline activation.
