@Stacia Prillia You can use this list of all the 3D file formats that FlexSim supports:

.wrl, .3ds, .dxf, .stl, .skp, .dae, .obj, .ac, .x, .ase, .ply, .ms3d, .cob, .md5mesh, .irr, .irrmesh, .ter, .lxo, .csm, .scn, .q3o, .q3s, .raw, .off, .mdl, .hmp, .scn, .xgl, .zgl, .lvo, .lvs, .blend, .stp, .igs

Please, see these examples. To change the object shape according see the article bellow

I've tried to import the pictures using *.wrl or *.dwg but when i clicked apply and okay, the pictures are disappeared. I've also adjusted the units used in autocad or catia with the one in flexsim. Do you know why?

@Stacia PrilliaTry to reset and edit the shape factors at General Properties tab to set the shape, maybe can be helpfull. Regards.

if you use vrml, it is important to use the Version 1.0. Some CAD-programs set as default the version 2.0.

i've tried to set the general factor but still the 3d shape disappeared:(

Actually for *.wrl i don't use directly from vrml. i use catia that have extension catpart then i convert it to *.wrl. For the cad program how to set as default the version 2.0?

i use autocad 2015 and flexsim version 7.5.4. Thank u
