Hello hello,

If this is in the wrong place let me know.

Recently, I subscribed to a website with some embedded SketchFab models available for viewing and interaction. Resultingly, it appears that I have been granted (for an expensive and limited time) indirect access to a very rich repository of engineering models that feature various diagrams, cutaways, animations, and annotations.

This access allows for interacting with a variety of models, viewing associated educational annotations, and watching demonstrative animations that illustrate the working principles of the modeled object.

Using Chrome, via the Network tab, I am able to see some line items of interest. These are firstly, *.binz files, alongside what appear to my eye to be associated texture maps, normal files, and so on as a variety of .jpeg files. There are also links to the sketchfab.com domain and similarly structured API calls.

I am aware and have investigated the path leading to .binz extraction and conversion. That is not what I'm interested in. It is not a raw 3D model that I am seeking, it is this comprehensive experience. Having access to the base model is all well and good, but what I would like to do is preserve this "SketchFab Viewer" experience even after my membership ends with this website.

So, I would like to ask assistance.

If possible, could pointers be provided to a way for me to preserve offline the material I currently have access to? Alternatively, is there a method to somehow extract a SketchFab link that will persist after my membership expires?

Thank you.
