How to fix: Type unknown error

One or more of your products has a 3D model of an unknown type. Make sure that your 3D model you have provided to the 3D model link [virtual_model_link] attribute is in the right format. These are the file formats supported by GLTF validator: GLTF (.gltf), and GLB (.glb).

If you provide a 3D model of an unknown type, it will be disapproved and the product will be displayed without the 3D model.
