Blend File Importer Addon V3.2(M2) earns its place for pulling models from a blend file in three steps while also handling obj, stl, x3d, fbx and glb/gltf. Version 3.2(M2) added a Create Collection and Rename Collection dialogue and fixed the install error for the blend_fileimporterV3 module.
Blend File Importer Addon V3.2(M2) brings 3D models from a blend file into your current Blender scene without opening that file and exporting from it. The workflow runs in three steps: install the addon, select the blend file's path, and click the Import button. The addon supports Blender version 3.0 and up and keeps a simple user interface.
Beyond blend files, it imports obj, stl, x3d, fbx and glb/gltf files. Several options apply to blend files only: the Import Camera and Import Light checkboxes control whether cameras and lights come across, and Merge & Import brings objects in joined together as one object. When you click Import, a dialogue box offers Create Collection and Rename Collection, so you can import into a new collection and rename it beforehand.
Version 3.2(M2) fixed the "No module named blend_fileimporterV3" error on install. Krishna Bros distributes the addon and runs a Discord server for support and updates, and a short video showing the import process is available.
Blend File Importer Addon V3.2(M2) is best for blender users who want to import 3D models from a blend file, along with obj, stl, x3d, fbx and glb/gltf files, into the current scene.

Blend File Importer Addon V3.2(M2) imports 3D models from a blend file, and it also supports obj, stl, x3d, fbx and glb/gltf files. A few options apply only to blend files: the Import Camera and Import Light checkboxes decide whether cameras and lights are pulled in, and Merge & Import joins objects into one object. For the other formats, those blend-only options are not available. The developer's page has the full breakdown of supported types.
Blend File Importer Addon V3.2(M2) includes Import Camera and Import Light checkboxes. With Import Camera enabled, cameras from the blend file come into the scene; leave it off and no cameras are imported. Import Light works the same way for lights. Both options apply only to blend files and are not supported for other formats. When you click Import, a dialogue box also offers Create Collection and Rename Collection so you can import into a new, renamed collection.
