# Convert STEP to glTF Online: STP to Static Scene

Convert STEP/STP models to a static glTF mesh for viewing. The result is not an editable CAD model.

Convert STEP or STP geometry to a static glTF scene. Use it for viewing and web display. Keep the STEP file when the next step needs engineering geometry.

## Decide whether glTF is the right deliverable

glTF is a display mesh. It does not replace a STEP file for machining, quoting from solid volume or editing the design.

## Convert STEP to static glTF

Choose glTF and download the result. Companion files are delivered together as a ZIP. The scene is static triangle geometry, not a CAD feature tree.

## Check one known dimension

glTF coordinates are in metres. Reopen the file and compare a known size before you publish or share it. Mesh measurements are approximate.

## Questions

### Can I convert STEP to glTF online?

Yes. Upload a STEP or STP file, choose glTF and download the static scene. Extra files are packaged in a ZIP.

### Is the glTF file editable CAD?

No. It is a static mesh for viewing. It does not keep sketches, features or an editable solid model.

### What units does the glTF file use?

glTF uses metres. Check a known dimension after conversion so a scale change is not missed.
