How do I get a 3D visual into my .fsm data

In the attached data, the 3D visual is saved in "C: \ Program Files", so

3D visuals cannot be displayed on different computers.

How do I get a 3D visual into my .fsm data so that it can be viewed on different computers?

How can I verify that the 3D visuals have been captured in the .fsm data?

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.5

If you set the 3d visual shape in the model, the visual shape is imbed automatically in the model file. So you need not consider of it for your user.

When you send only the model file to include the 3d shape which you set by email, the visual shape can be displayed in the model the user's PC flexsim.

When you make the model to include the 3d shape, you should place the 3d shape file in the working folder.

I understand that

When I make the model to include the 3d shape, I should place the 3d shape file in the working folder.

Is it okay if this working folder is "C: \"?

or is it another folder?

Your working model folder means the folder you save your model file.

In my case, I make my working folder in D:\Flexsim_Project\project_name\.

The 'project_name' is the customer company name.

I also use the customer company name as the name of the folder.

However, there may be times when you do not want the customer company name to appear on the FlexSim screen.

Is it possible to hide the name of the folder where the 3D shape is saved?
