Motion is not imported with a GLB file.

I am trying to import a GLB file that was created in ABB’s RobotStudio. I can see the correct motion in online file viewers but when I import it into Twinmotion it is not there. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this.

Interesting.
I tried with the free version of RobotStudio, but it seems limitated (animation was not exported)
could you provide an exported glb file from the application?

Does this work?

I can see the whole animation in other online glb viewers. The process is the stack moves into position and then the stack gets tilted. What is not shown is the motion of the forks that tilt the stack.

I tested on the last build, and everything is working fine.
maybe a naive question, but: when you imported the model, did you use the ‘animation’ tab of the import panel?
To verify that it is working, you should see the model animated in the viewport, or, If you create a sequence you should see an animation track under the camera track

Well, thanks for your help! It is really appreciated.

I don’t know why, but it works now!!!

Actually, I just created another simple simulation in RobotStudio and it looks good except for when the robot moves on the 7th axis of the track it doesn’t move in TwinMotion. I used an online GLB viewer and it works there. Can you take a look?

I am using the import/animation.

Here is what I am seeing.

Thank you for the file. It was used for testing.
Indeed there is an error in the interpretation of the position of some objects.
There is not much we can do now on the actual release, but it will be solved in upcoming 2025 Version

Any chance I could be a beta tester for this bug?

I don’t think it is a huge group but there are a lot of users of RobotStudio and I plan to do a turtorial on how to export out of RS and import into Twinmotion. The problem we have is that RS is great for simulations but they are not realistic.
