Here's a sample model that draws some cubes using the Mesh API. This model was built in FlexSim 7.1 but can be opened in any later version of FlexSim.

FlexSim Mesh commands are used in User Commands in above example model file.
Script windows write vertices in a label at source object.
Source code on Draw trigger of this source object visualizes the mesh data.
Textures: Phil Bobo describes in his answer here, how to add textures to a mesh.
