I’m not sure why the website converter is giving that error, but I was able to convert the model successfully with the offline converter.

[https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/wiki/converter](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/glTF/wiki/converter)

Using the command: collada2gltf.exe -f Global\_6000\_sep\_27\_obj.dae -e

Dear Sean

Thanks a lot. So I also tried with the offline version and it worked. I still don’t understand why the online converter stalls. But we have a solution now! Thats cool.
