Hello, I would like to know what 3D object extensions the map supports besides glTF and glb, since I have a 3D object with an nwd extension and I would like to know if it is possible to place it on the map.

As resource for Object3DSymbolLayer, gltf/glb is the only supported 3D file format. See: 
https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-symbols-ObjectSymbol3DLayer.html#...

Depending on use case and size/complexity of the 3D object, the other option is to use ArcGIS Pro to create a SceneLayer from the 3D object for loading in a map. However, .nwd is not supported in Pro either, so would need to be converted, or exported to a different format first (e.g. IFC, Revit).
