I’m no CAD/3D modeling expert: I’m trying to convert this (see attachment) 3D CAD .dwg model I found on the web to .gltf/glb so I can use it.
The model shows up in 3ds Max and gets converted by Verge3D with no error but the 3D model doesn’t even show up in sneak peek feature.
Any tips on how to import/export it?

What do you mean under converted by Verge3D if you say before that you can’t export it to gltf? Can you share the max file?

What I mean is the conversion ends and no error is thrown but the model doesn’t appear in the sneak peek feature and in other software like Blender.
Thank you for your fast reply.
Here is the model: https://easyupload.io/nw2qqb

Ok, I get it. It happens because when you imported the object it placed somewhere far from the center of the scene, but camera look always (orbit camera type) in the center of the scene by default. So just place the object in the center of the scene after import or create a camera near the object like this:
