This is intended for all those who might be looking for ways of retrieving metadata from either GLTF / GLB / IFC models or even 3D Tiles tilesets that are using GLB models.

Don’t hesitate to check my [YouTube Channel]([https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl3lHHiWoubFXogWHZk1Tsg](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl3lHHiWoubFXogWHZk1Tsg)) to see some simple videos of possible ways of retrieving and displaying metadata.

Here is one of those video with IFC model, maintaining accurate metadata picking even in exploded view:

Whatever is currently open-sourced in my repository could eventually help you start with accessing metadata or even possibly create Digital Twins.

Even [glTF Transform]([https://gltf-transform.dev/](https://gltf-transform.dev/)) is currently offering experimental EXT\_mesh\_features and EXT\_structural\_metadata extensions, which appear to be working according to my testing.
