In "Tools/Visual" you can add a model background to the model. FlexSim allows for different file formats. This will help you to place your model objects based upon the plant layout.

If you want to build your model automatically from a table containing object type, location, size, and other properties you want to include, take a look at the "Object" class and its methods in the user manual.

Good luck

If the drawing you import into FlexSim as a basis is true to scale, it will.
