Hi,
In previous version of observable I was importing a GLB file from my github repository.
[https://observablehq.com/@ferrari212/section-2-6-inserting-gltf-and-creating-a-more-realistic-mod](https://observablehq.com/@ferrari212/section-2-6-inserting-gltf-and-creating-a-more-realistic-mod)
This is the peace of the code I used before, where the boatPath is the url pointing to the source:
```nohighlight
{
loaderGLTF.load(
boatPath,
(gltf) => {
var shipGLTF = gltf.scene;
shipGLTF.rotation.x = Math.PI / 2;
shipGLTF.rotation.y = -Math.PI / 2;
shipGLTF.position.set(-1, 0, 0);
shipGLTF.name = "ModelGLTF";
if (shipGLTF.material) {
shipGLTF.material.side = THREE.DoubleSide;
}
scene.add(shipGLTF);
},
(xhr) => {
mutable loaderPecentage = (xhr.loaded / 31780028) * 100;
}
);
}
```
In the newer version, however, I am not able to import it and by checking the console I noticed I receive a CORS issue problem and error 200. I want to know if there is a new procedure to import it from another source than observable. I saw some solutions using FileAttachment but I would rather prefer to keep with the one I am using.
Regards,
Felipe

You don’t need a CORS proxy. Just use the following path:
```auto
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ferrari212/vesseljs/master/examples/3D_models/GLTF/Gunnerus.glb
```
I would also recommend to pin the file to the current version by replacing `/master/` with `/3624e9c/` (the file’s most recent commit ID).

Note that your current [`boatPath`](https://github.com/ferrari212/vesseljs/blob/master/examples/3D_models/GLTF/Gunnerus.glb) points to Github’s _web interface showing the file_, not the file itself. I suspect this is not the actual path used in your original code?

oops, my bad, yeah CORS bypass not required for Github. I did not comprehend the context properly.

Hi @mootari and @tomlarkworthy ,
Thanks for the help. Yes, in fact the url I was pointing was wrong. I had to request from a github open site instead of my own repo:
[https://ferrari212.github.io/vesseljs/examples/3D\_models/GLTF/Gunnerus.glb](https://ferrari212.github.io/vesseljs/examples/3D_models/GLTF/Gunnerus.glb)
Thanks for the help!
