To open a GLB file in Blender and export it as OBJ, you can follow these steps from this tutorial.

1. Step 1: Converting the GLB to OBJ

   To open a GLB file in Blender and export it as OBJ, you can follow these steps:

   Open Blender.

   Go to File > Import > glTF 2.0 (.glb).

   Select the GLB file that you want to import.

   Blender will import the GLB file and create a new object in the scene.

   Select the object that you want to export to OBJ.

   Go to File > Export > Wavefront (.obj).

   In the Export dialog box, select the OBJ file format.

   Click Export.

   Blender will export the OBJ file to the specified location.

   Here are some additional tips for opening GLB files in Blender and exporting them as OBJ:

   Make sure that the GLB file is valid. If the GLB file is invalid, Blender will not be able to import it.

   You can also import GLB files directly from the web. To do this, click on the From Web button in the Import glTF 2.0 (.glb) dialog box and enter the URL of the GLB file.

   If the GLB file contains multiple meshes, you can select the meshes that you want to import by clicking on them in the Import glTF 2.0 (.glb) dialog box.

   You can also import GLB files as components. To do this, select the Import as Component checkbox in the Import glTF 2.0 (.glb) dialog box.

   
   

2. Step 2: Importing the OBJ to Fusion

   Here are the steps on how to import OBJ to Fusion 360:

   1. Open Fusion 360.
   2. Click on the Insert menu and select Mesh.
   3. In the Insert Mesh dialog box, click on the Browse button and locate the OBJ file that you want to import.
   4. Click on the Open button.
   5. The OBJ file will be imported into Fusion 360 as a mesh body.

   You can then view and edit the OBJ file in Fusion 360.

   Here are some additional things to keep in mind when importing OBJ files into Fusion 360:

   • The OBJ file must be in the ASCII or binary format.
   • The OBJ file must contain a valid mesh.
   • The OBJ file must not contain any unsupported features, such as animations or physics.

   If the OBJ file does not meet these requirements, it may not import properly into Fusion 360.

   Here are some tips for importing OBJ files into Fusion 360:

   • Make sure that the OBJ file is in the correct format.
   • Check the OBJ file for errors.
   • Try importing the OBJ file in a different format.
   • Reduce the complexity of the OBJ file.
   • Use a third-party plugin to import the OBJ file.
