Support for loading from a URL
under review
Rupert Rawnsley
We would find the ability to load models from a URL particularly useful because we store all our assets in the cloud as .gltf files with relative references and it is fiddly to download all the parts for analysis.
It would also be very useful to accept that URL as a parameter and bypass the initial selection dialog. This would allow us to include an analysis option as a link alongside the assets in our own application.
I appreciate that this would require CORS support on the data hosting server, but that side is fully under our control. To avoid confusion you may wish to only provide support via the URL parameter as an "advanced" option.
Example URL glTF file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KhronosGroup/glTF-Sample-Models/master/2.0/Duck/glTF/Duck.gltf

Is there a way I can link the Excel spreadsheet link to the actual .GLB file.. so it opens in this website?

It's helping us review all the glb files we want to upload.
I'd like everyone who has access to the spreadsheet the ability to open/view the .glb file directly from the spreadsheet if possible?

+1 to this, many other viewers already support it.
Bit sad that everyone uses a different URL parameter (have seen ?model=, ?file= and ?url= so far) but that's a detail.
