Visual Decals on 3D models

I'm trying to import some decals (JPG format) and have it applied on to the 3D models that I have imported from a cad software. For some reason it is not working on imported 3D models. This works great when I try the same on the models from flex sim library.

The 3D models I have tried using are, .STEP, .JT and .wrl.

FlexSim 21.0.3

It sounds like your 3D model doesn't have any texture coordinates. You need texture coordinates if you want to assign a texture to a shape.

Try assigning a texture to the object in your cad software and mapping its UV coordinates. Then export the shape and see if you can see the texture.
