The Writer properties are not visible in the .glb file.

Not with the text layer and not on the Sketch layer.
I loved to see it work on the spaghetti tool and the arrow tool.

The GLB format can only animate 3 things: position, rotation and size.

Realize that you can make something invisible by setting its size to 0. Here's how you can do a GLB compatible text writer:

1st keyframe:
-CHARACTER SIZE prop (0, 0, 0)
-FLEXIBILITY prop (1, 0, 0)

2nd keyframe:
-CHARACTER SIZE prop (1, 1, 1)
-FLEXIBILITY prop (1, 0, 0)

Take a look at this installer show to learn more about the FLEXIBILITY prop:

Thnx Michiel:

For the text layer I use this setting:
1st keyframe:
-CHARACTER SIZE prop (0, 0, 0)
-FLEXIBILITY prop (3, 0, 0)

2nd keyframe after one second (Total 4 second):
-CHARACTER SIZE prop (1, 1, 1)
-FLEXIBILITY prop (3, 0, 0)

Shoji don't know what you mean. The Sketch layer does not have a Flexibility property.
Animation of the Writers property is the sole purpose.

Maybe if you explain it in layman's terms?

Filip, I don't understand that the title is Writer, but the comment section discusses FLEXIBILITY.
Writers animation is not my only goal, I often use fixed Writer values in the BT to build. For example, if I need to fix one end of the brake line on my bike and turn the other end, I have to copy one with a fixed Writer value to pinpoint the location of the connection point.Fixed Writer values are good for exporting models.

Filip, a fixed value of writer property is correctly exported but not a dynamic value, if writer value varies in your show variation is not exported in glb.

It was a request that I had made to Michiel, he explained to me (if I understood correctly) that it would require storing the sketch (or text) as many times as there are values ​​of writer and to make each object visible successively while the others are made invisible.

In short, it would generate a very large glb
