Hi  
My goal is, to load a baked 3d-model on a Webflow-Site and do some interactions with it.

Before the closing body-tag I load three.js and the GLTFLoader like this:

```javascript
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/three.js/r128/three.min.js" integrity="sha512-dLxUelApnYxpLt6K2iomGngnHO83iUvZytA3YjDUCjT0HDOHKXnVYdf3hU4JjM8uEhxf9nD1/ey98U3t2vZ0qQ==" crossorigin="anonymous" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>
    <script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/mrdoob/three.js/master/examples/js/loaders/GLTFLoader.js"></script>

```

In the JS-part I load the model like this:

```javascript
// GLTF loader
const gltfLoader = new THREE.GLTFLoader();
const url = '/assets/iso-04-051221.glb';
gltfLoader.load(url, (gltf) => {
  const root = gltf.scene;
  scene.add(root);
});

```

The THREE-Object loads perfect.  
But I get a error-message about the DRACOLoader:

 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/threejs/original/3X/0/a/0a4c964cc6555ae1a1374d91bdff2cef13dca5d3.png)

Has anyone an idea what that DRACOLoader instance is not available?

Kind regards  
Alain

Found it out.  
The problem was in the glb-file.  
I had to unlink the texture of the material in Blender.

It sounds like exporting from Blender might have worked because it decompressed the model, not because of the texture? If the glTF model uses Draco compression you’ll need to register a DRACOLoader instance as shown in the [GLTFLoader docs](https://threejs.org/docs/#examples/en/loaders/GLTFLoader).
