Hey, I have been trying to import a .step file for visualization of a machine. I used a box shape and then changed the shape of it by importing the picture of the actual machine. However, whenever I do that the machine very different in FlexSim than what it looks like in the .step file. Is anybody familiar with why this is happening and if there is any other way to import this .step file? Thanks!

It looks like your step file is an assembly. You see just the first part of your assembly in FlexSim. Try to make in your CAD System a digital mock-up as one part.
