That should become available when we upgrade to the latest VTK. If it’s really in the critical path we could maybe add the classes directly to slicer (under a mangled name) as a workaround.

> To follow up on an [email](http://massmail.spl.harvard.edu/public-archives/slicer-users/2017/011982.html) from @pieper from 2017 Transferring models is still a work in progress, but lately I’m looking at glTF [5] as an interesting option. I would like to mention that VTK has an improved support for glTF 2.0. It should be possible to create a Slicer extension leveraging the new [vtkGLTFReader](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGLTFImporter.html#details), [vtkGLTFImporter](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGLTFImporter.html#details) and [vtkGLTFExporter](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGLTFExporter.html#details) classes. You can read more details about the functionality here: [https://blog.kitware.com/introducing-gltf-2-0-support-in-vtk-and-paraview](https://blog.kitware.com/introducing-gltf-2-0-support-in-vtk-and-paraview)
